I've been playing guitar for a very long time. i recently decided to challenge myself with classical guitar. I thought I'd have an advantage in already knowing how to play the instrument. The differences have proved challenging though. I"d like to thank you for these videos. They've been very encouraging.
I got my first classical today! It's a Cordoba Dolce 7/8 (bc i have small hands). I've been playing classical at school and I really like it. The first solo I learned is Vals by Catalyud and I'm working on Tarrega's Study in E Minor to go to UIL in January.
What a great look back to your beginnings with the guitar. Thanks for sharing this peek at your history. It's great to see the steps of a great artist !!
I am learning acoustic guitar but it's not easy. So it was lovely to watch and see that everyone starts in the same place. I'm 65 and my fingers appear to be half the length of yours so I doubt I will ever play Asturias or similar but I don't mind because I enjoy the challenge. Love your playing.
*@Gothic Writer.* Please, please, please do not think that way. If you love it, arm yourself with patience, you can do it. Never get frustrated or discouraged while learning and practicing. As a baby, you fell down and got up many times before you finally enjoyed walking and running, and even climbing. During practice, isolate yourself somewhere and practice as long as your time permits. Keep it up. Please.
I'm of the same age. If you enjoy it, keep practising. I must say 20 mins each day using Guilliani 120 study practice pieces has helped me a lot. All the best!!! .
This old dog might never be able to get the proper techniques of a classical guitar down pact, but I really appreciate the advice of alternating the “i” and “m” fingering. Playing with only one finger and the thumb is quite challenging to learn complicated pieces of music. I surprised myself by learning how to play Lagrima even with my improper technique. Thanks for sharing, Alexandra. 💕💕💕
Gosh I miss studying classical guitar. In college are classical guitar ensemble had a dozen or so players, best experience of my life. Truly amazing experience. Your content is fantastic! This takes me back to when I had time to play.
Notes on ledger lines spell FACE. The top line is F, so the ledger lines about that fill in ACE. The bottom line is an E, so the ledger lines below that fill in FAC. This helps my students and I hope it helps you. Great video and great community.
You have a wonderful expression as you so very nicely articulate your thoughts. Love your friendly smile, and expressions as you share with us your background. You are so welcoming by allowing us into your home, and you are so very open with your true feelings. It simply goes to show that when you play, you are a natural, and you express yourself through your musical skills. Wonderful Job. Thanks again for greeting us and receiving us into your home setting.
I enjoyed this ENTIRE video! Thank you Alexandra! In addition any biographical vignettes or stories you can share would be of real interest to me. For example, a teacher or artist that inspired you; what caused you to progress from pop, rock and jazz to classical music; how you chose guitar over other instruments, etc. Congratulations on 200K subscribers! I wonder how your album sales are going and if you're booking concerts now? I hope you like your new home!
Congratulations! You are very talented person, Alexandra. Obviously this is just a beginning of your success. Wish you to have 1 mln soon. P.S. Your Russian dance is beautiful) Greetings from Russia!
What an amazing musical journey! 🎼 And appreciate your vulnerability and honesty. You are truly talented and have an amazing work ethic. Continued success.
Really takes me back to when I was 7-8 just learning how to play almost 20 years ago!! Very nostalgic and I grew up learning in very similar ways and can relate to a lot of your struggles. I wish no one would have ever taught me a system of numbering notes like 63 for low G or 50 for A. Really was a crutch for me not learning to sight read properly.
I like this video!!! ! And even the simple pieces do sound so nice when you play them. I'm looking forward to watching part 2!!!👍 ☺️ Hope to recognize some pieces I try to play 😁
Your way of learning sheet music…. Why didn’t I ever think of that?!?! I did it for learning the names of the strings long before I learned how to read sheet music. I think I would have learned how to read sheet music twice as fast if I had done the same as you. And my teacher said I was his fasted student to learn how to read sheet music. Explains how logic it can be if you simplify it.
I just found your channel and love your stuff. I have switched from folk and rock to classical guitar and now I am trying to learn to read sheet music. I am literally back at square one with this...it so hard...but I am getting there......i m i m i m i m
I remember music class years ago Every, good, boy, deserves, Fudge 😂 And the face. Always love good music and songs, but never learned to play. Maybe one day. God bless.
Bonjour belle musicienne Bon dimanche et bon premier mai je suis fous de toi tu m'a envoûté avec ton savoir et délicatesse de bien joué merci à bientôt.michel.
Lovely video! It ended more or less on the level I am at now. I haven't played for a long time but picked it up again. My main instrument the last 25 years is the double bass which feels a bit different under the fingers...
Is that you playing the Augustine Barrios Val’s in the background? It takes a lot of patience to watch beginners learn. Thanks for reminding guitarists to be responsible for thinking about what helps beginners develop techniques and timing and where to find appropriate pieces.
This was great! I am in my mid 50s and took up classical guitar about 4 years ago. I am self taught and use tab instead of reading notes to make it easy on my old brain. I would say I'm probably at grade 2 -low 3 level. My problem is that I still play everything so choppy. How cam I work on that to make it sound smoother ?
Have you ever considered doing covers of Rock songs like "Dead or Alive" & "Blaze of Glory" both of which are Bon Jovi' s or "Nothing Else Matters" & "The Unforgiven" by Metallica in the style of classic guitar? Mind you, you have a great voice, too. I love watching your performances and hope to see you sing someday. Stay healthy, be well and keep up your fantastic job!
Hi Alexandra i wanna ask you several questions that bugging me all the time when comes to music learning. btw i casually play guitar almost 2 decades(not that really 2 decades because i quit some time cause of study and focus on programming) but i still not that much in progression. so today i really enjoy classical music and wanna play some of them. i like pieces like paganini, libertango, asturias last two love your videos about that most of the time i like Bach. ok enough about that my questions is: 1. dou you have some timeline that have been through by casual guitarist if they wanna play classical guitar, my goal not to be pro just play some pieces and enjoy them. 2. how to read not in sight reading properly and quickly, what kind of stuff or exercises i need to achieve that. 3. learning guitar on youtube doesn't have some timeline no clear instruction where we start and what should we do next that's it maybe next time i still have some questions for you, thank you in advance
Hier gratulieren sich also jetzt die ungeimpften gegenseitig. Die die es besser wissen als die dumme Herde oder die Wissenschaftler. Man kann halt niemanden vertrauen- keinem Politiker, keinem Wissenschaftler, keinem Arzt- oder - halt- doch- der Unbekannte aus dem Internet der gesagt hat es wäre schlecht sich impfen zu lassen dem kann ich doch vertrauen- oder die obskure Webseite auf denen ich immer die neusten Gerüchte über Nebenwirkungen beim Impfen lesen kann- den neuesten berichten von Russia Today- das sind doch vertrauenswürdige Quellen. Mich kriegen diese Impf Nazis nicht- ich weiß es besser. Na ja, zumindest solange bis ich mich infiziert habe, und es mir richtig schlecht geht. Dann möchte ich natürlich ein Bett auf der Intensivstation haben das dann einem Herzinfarkt oder Schlaganfall Patienten fehlt. Aber das müssen die eben aushalten. Schließlich geht es um meine Freiheit und nicht um deren Gesundheit
I like to teach Every Green Bogey Deserves Flicking... My kids love it, and it's really fun when one of them shouts out "BOGIES" even though Dick and Dom isn't a thing anymore. Sad times.

I have taught myself how to play the guitar and have been playing for 15 years. BUT thank you for teaching me how to read sheet music on the guitar.😄
Nice. I can still play a handful of the grade 1 exam pieces from 40 years ago. Those early pieces stay put.
Thank you very much for pleasure getting more motivation to learn playing Gitarre’! You are great!
Great video superb guitar lessons too 👍
I see a lot from Frederick Noad's excellent series of books. Your teachers were getting good material to you.
Very cute when you were a kid. Are there no videos of you playing?
Well dear, 199,999 of those subscriptions are me! HA! Love your videos and love to hear you play. I wish I could see you live.

I'd love to hear your one-finger tremolo on a piece such as 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra'.
I’ve always wanted to hear a Lite Fandango!
I enjoy your work thank you for sharing keep it going
Cool Alexandra , i Will View from Argentina
Excellent ! Il me tarde de voir cela:)
Ok, so this is beginner stage for you ... So long for me to be beginner then 😁 .. Well done Alexandra i like your videos really
Great guitarist.
Awesome video.

It’s lovely 💖
Fun video to watch. I have played some of those pieces in my studies. Who wrote the Fandango? Best wishes, Will

@@josepaim2012 The inquiry was: "Who wrote the Fandango?." You put "33." How is that an answer? Do you actually know the composer?
I want to know the same. I've copied the notes down as it's my favourite!

Can you talk about ur creative process, how do you find inspiration, what's ur take on creativity?
What brand of guitar are you using in this video? I love your vids!
hi alex, you never got back to me. How did the concert go in Wells and how were the acustics compared to what you're used to.
What was the book you mentioned? Please and thank you
Good place guitar 🎸

I remember my Father teaching me the chords, and practicing with him was like oil and water lolz, Congratz on 200K Alexandra🐾...
Even some of your beginner songs aren't fit my fingers. Respect:...
What finger exercises do you recommend to increase my speed on the fretboard?
You were playing on an electric guitar? 😳 Cool!
No she doesn't play electric guitar 😒
