Hi all, I recently filmed a full recital for Christmas and will be releasing clips over the next few weeks. Here is the first of many so please SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE BELL to be alerted when the other videos are posted :)

Love this!🥰 Hope you had a great holiday. Seriously, Idk why it sounds so very familiar. (Why do the lowest bass strings always sound ever so slightly out of tune?🤷 Still sounded awesome.)
Hi Brandon, I’m a beginner and would like to learn classical guitar and Spanish flamenco. What would you recommend?
@@UMBUBA Hi! I think it's wonderful you'd like to start these two beautiful styles of guitar. In my experience, there's nothing better than one on one lessons.
I started an online music school during Covid called Arpeggiato.com. There we have an amazing Flamenco teacher named Samuel and a number of expert classical guitar instructors. If you're interested in signing up for weekly lessons and need any help, just send us an email at Arpeggiatomusicschool@gmail.com
Best of luck to you!
Brandon
@@brandonacker thank you for sharing your music. Greatest gifts are ever and too often overlooked.
Mahe Ohna ✌️ Favour to you and ALL
Still blows my mind you had your "metal days". What a wonderful evolution.
Agreed, though as a former metal-head turned classical guitarist and now lutenist I'd bet it's quite common - I mean, how metal is this? 😜 th-cam.com/video/mZnNj4AXflk/w-d-xo.html
As always - wonderful, thank you for sharing!
Could say that after every video.🙂
I play classical guitar but I really like the sound of the lute and the theorbo, they look like a very beautiful instrument.
Same, these videos make me want a Lute to go with my classical guitar
Many thanks for this video : Robert de Visée is undoubtedly one of the best composers for theorbo or lute (as well as L S Weiss).
Stunningly beautiful
Thank you Brandon. Very calm and beautifully played. A very versatile musician!
Absolutely breathtaking.
Your playing has inspired me to go the more classical route with my own playing which seems daunting as hell but who doesn't enjoy a challenge. :)
Wow, thank you! Go for it. You won't regret it :)
Hey Brandon... I have been couped up for my days off and the Holiday due to a giant snow storm and typical associated closures. Today I was having some delightful morning coffee cocktails and became very frustrated with an electronics connectivity problem that was about to make me lose my mind. I decided to take a break and see what premiers I have notifications for today. This piece took me back to a peaceful state and I thank for it. I'm sorry for rambling but as always, you are amazing! I hope you enjoy your holiday season.
Hi Keith, I'm happy I could be a part of your morning and you were able to find that peaceful state. Cheers and happy holidays to you:)
Brandon
Merry Christmas! It's beautiful
Your fingers move so easily on those magic frets. Great Brandon. Thank you a lot!
Bravo!
Muzette is one of my favorite pieces for this instrument. Thank you!
Man! This guy's insanely good!! 👌🔥
Extraordinary touch
This is a magic sound. Thank's Brandon.
This channel helped so much in making 2021 bearable.
It enlightened the amazing world of stringed instruments, many of which I had never known of before. It brought to my untrained ears music as it had been heard in centuries long past and gave me a far greater appreciation of the musical sophistication of it's composers.
I look forward of another year of musical adventure guided by the remarkable Mr. Acker.
This is an exceptional instrument. I had never heard it before, so thank you so much for doing it so much grace and due respect with your wonderful playing :)
Beautiful. Thank you Mr. Vampire.
That was a joy to hear, thank you.
Superbe !!!
Et quel son !! Un grand bravo et merci !!
Joyeuses fêtes !! : )
Merry Christmas to you, Brandon! Thank you a lot for your art!
Thank You Sir...
C'est toujours bon quand quelqu'un shred du Robert de Visée comme ça!
I played this today at an audition, gotta say our versions are pretty similar and I didnt know this existed until after, you got more flourishes and stuff though, I only know a few
Another amazing performance
It must be such a treat to live with you! I imagine your wife coming home after a long day at work, exhausted, and she's met with a room filled with lighted candles and a Brandon in a flashy disguise playing soothing theorbo music. Bliss!
Yes!
Yin ==> Especially if she quickly gets something simmering & then gets her mandolin out for harmony!
Yang ==> She comes home, hits the stereo & cranks "Highway To Hell' just as Brandon begins the final refrain(!) ;-)
beautiful!
Brilliant!
Superb 👌 What an incredible instrument too 😊
Just beautiful. 💖🎼🎵🎶 Thank you 🙏🏽🥰, Sir. That really was quite lovely.
Please take care and wishing you excellent health. Have an awesome New Year! 🤩🙌🏽🎇🎉🎈🎊🥂🍾🎆🥳
Nicely done, very meditative. Always primo playing, very soulful! :)
Beautiful ❤️
Exquisite, Brandon. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous performance! The bass strings really rumble.
I hope you and Meriem had a truly Joyeux Noël and that 2022 will be very rewarding, happy, and healthy for both of you. (Kirin)
Beautiful playing, Brandon! I really admire your talent and hard work. You're an inspiration to early musicians everywhere! :)
I loved it Brandon, what a beautiful instrument and what beautiful playing :)
Excelent 🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Yep, the 40 hours of tuning where worth it. :D
🤣
This would fit perfectly at a Skyrim tavern.
Very beautiful, thanks 👍 for posting! Wish you a blest, Merry Christmas Season and to ALL loved+ones. 🎄🙋💐🙏🌲🌹🌻🌲❄️☃️
Damn sir amazing
EEEEEEEEEE HE LIKED IT OMGGGGGG
I don't make movies if I did however . I'd be getting Acker in with these instruments if it was a historical movie or TV show.
Camel Home after a hard day at Work and enjoyed your music a Lot. I also Play de Visée at the moment. Not as Well as you, but I still love it. Thank you. 👏🙏 Edit: Typo
HI Brandon. lovely playing as always. Sorry for a technical question, but what's the scale length of your theorbo? I recently hired one modelled after Buchenberg that's 93 cm/169 cm. It sounded great but, to be honest, it was giving me back problems because it requires me to hold my left hand quite high over my shoulder at all times. Yours seems like a more ideal size, still sounding great but not too uncomfortable to hold.
Какой чудный вампир :)
👍
0:52, what are those things before the first fret?
Tiny extra frets called tastini. They allow me to play more in tune.
@@brandonacker I figured something along those lines. Thanks!
Very nice! Do finger nails generally help to produce a better sound on instruments like lute and theorbo? I am asking because most of the flute players i have seen they play with their fingers.
Thanks! Historically theorbo players definitely used nails. But like today, some did and some didn't.
After 1600ish nails were used because they helped with projection and were especially useful for playing chamber music and opera. In the Renaissance there are many sources that say the sound is better with flesh.
Rather than better or worse I would say they are different sounds. Though with nails its louder.
@@brandonacker wow thanks for the information
Hey Mr. Acker! I'm learning the lute. I'm thinking about moving away from the renascentist repertoire and delving into the baroque. What do you recomend? Buying a theorbo or an archlute? Also, I have small hands; do you think it can restrain my progress on the theorbo? Thank you very much!
Hi Lucas, well you could do baroque lute or archlute which are both much bigger than a renaissance lute but manageable. Another idea is to get a small theorbo which isn't too hard to find these days. If you get a French theorbo around 76cm its really not that strenuous but its like going from guitar to bass so its quite the change.
Are you looking to play in ensembles? Then you need to play continuo so yes archlute or theorbo but if you are just playing solo, baroque lute has some of the best repertoire.
Hard choice to only go with one which is why I have all of them haha good luck and feel free to write for more advice at brandonackerguitar@gmail.com
@@brandonacker thank you for the answer! I'm really not sure. I'll probably go to the baroque lute then! I would be thrilled if it was possible to play all the solo repertoire in only one instrument, but I do feel that I'll have to choose. These french theorbos are the so called theorbinos? Maybe they are also what I'm looking for. Thank you very much! I'm your fan
Превосходно
I wish I had such slender fingers :) My sausage fingers make playing my guitar so difficult.
once i drove an honda prelude;)))
I play all types of guitar. Electric, classical, bass, ect. I want to learn how to play this thing so bad. Lute and theorbo have always been on my list of instruments to learn. Are there no songs with strumming parts for theorbo? I imagine that would be like trying to strum on a 5 string bass. It can be done but it's not what the instrument excels at. Am I right about that?
I think you said it correctly at the end. Strumming is just not what the instrument does best. You can do it and there are a few historical examples but the Baroque guitar is the right tool for strumming. Often I show up to a Baroque concert with a theorbo and guitar. I pull out the theorbo for playing a good bass line and a guitar for strummy dances.
@@brandonacker Thanks!
