- Truly one of the most essential etudes to learn, Aguado's Study No. 25 from his "Nuevo método para guitarra" tackles many classical guitar techniques and teaches the value of preparation, both in the right and left hands, all while navigating charming classical music harmonies. It is jam-packed with potential benefits!
Please enjoy this performance and tutorial and I hope it adds value to your practice.

You can find Dionisio Aguado's first edition of his method here: boijefiles.mus...
This particular study is on page 108.
Dionisio Aguado y García (8 April 1784 - 29 December 1849) was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer of the late Classical and early Romantic periods.
Born in Madrid, he studied with Miguel García. In 1826, Aguado visited Paris, where he met and became friends with and for a while lived with Fernando Sor. Sor's duo Les Deux Amis ("The Two Friends") commemorated the friendship: one part is marked "Sor" and the other "Aguado."
Aguado's major work Nuevo Metodo Para Guitarra was a guitar tutorial published in 1843. As of 2011, it is still in print, with Tecla Editions releasing a reprint in 2005. In the Escuela Aguado describes his use of fingernails on the right hand as well as his invention of a "tripodison": a device that held the guitar and thus minimized the damping effect of the player's body on the guitar's back and sides. Aguado's other works include numerous waltzes, minuets, and other light pieces. The more extended works require a virtuoso technique and left-hand stretches that are almost impossible on the longer string lengths of modern guitars.
Aguado returned home to Madrid in 1837 and died there aged 65. Aguado's surname comes from the Spanish word for "soaked." This is because an ancient relative of his, who was a knight, returned after a battle caked in mud. The nickname then eventually became the surname.

Just found your channel while watching various renditions of “Granada.” I love your playing. Former violinist, now guitarist of 15+ years, and just got into classical guitar a couple years ago. I appreciate the tutorial and love your playing! Excellent style, voicing, and energy.
Keep making great music.
😲If this is meant to be something others can learn to do they need to be born again into someone like you.. what a diligence of 20 fingers rushing through in such a harmony ,melodiously and almost like on own will.. fantastic!!! 👏👏
Thank you Tariq. You are a great teacher and a wonderful musician. Please continue with sharing your tutorials.
Thank you kindly, I appreciate it!
Your intonation and accentuation rings like a reverb in my heart and body.. Its wonderfull. Thank you for this detailed lesson, display of skill and persuit of greatness, just amazing.
Due to my arthritis and years, I had to give up (playing) music, however.....thank you for letting me enjoy listening to a talent I could never have attained.
God bless.
Thanks🙏, please continue tutorials.
Tariq if I practice this piece for the next 50 years I’d still be a million miles from your performance, 😂incredible skill speed and poise to your playing
Thanks so much! Playing it at any tempo is greatly beneficial!
Thanks for sharing this movie. Can I trust you that this is THE ONLY study which I can improooove my technique? lol
Now, my daily warm up routine is one chromatic scale and one arpeggio phrase. (As you can imagine, only two exercise took over a half an hour if I seriously tackle. I usually spent probably 15-20min. or so.) I will think to add this Aguado study in my daily warm up training since you recommend.
Please don't add another THE ONLY daily training. (^.^) It leads my daily routine to grow and expand so I will be out of time. lol
I'm still praying for Gaza and Lebanon.
Peace be with you.
My pleasure! This study does not particularly benefit rasguados! LOL However, the preparation reflexes developed through practicing this study can be applied across various techniques. Additionally, the light shifting technique and finger precision required to play this study effectively serve as excellent exercises for improving left-hand agility. The study is remarkably insightful in this regard. Thanks, Mitsuhiro!
So glad you enjoy teaching! I enjoy learning from great players! Many thanks!!
My pleasure! 🙏
Superb tutorial of this wonderful study. You have inspired me to have another crack at it
Thanks so much for the invaluable, excellent instruction.
So smooth Tariq, you make it look so easy!
Thanks so much!
Merci beaucoup.
That's incredible. I love the sweeps.
Thank you! They are incredible fun to play.
The playing and tutorial and everything were amazing as expected... but the hat? Absolutely TOP NOTCH
Grazie.

very usefull tips

Avec plaisir, merci!
Lovely 🎸
Great many thanks
Fantastic!
I don’t even play the guitar but still love to watch☺️
Cool! :)
Maybe you should try?
@@CJ-cf7ih I did love Romance Anonima which my boyfriend used to play to me in 1972 and took a few guitar lessons…😊
OK-- I'm at 75% but dude----100% is insane ! thank you for posting
Thanks a lot!
I should be a spider to play like you play! Thank you, Maestro!
Haha that's funny, and a good analogy! The left hand certainly looks like a spider at times. :)
Wow❤
Do you plan to record another regondi piece? Yours are my favourite versions
This is Aguado! But yes, Regondi always is a good idea. I’m looking into the possibility of recording his ten caprices and producing educational videos on them. We’ll see! 🙏
@@TeeHarb I know. I just asked unrelated to the video hehe thanks!!
Wonderful playing and lesson. May I ask? On the descent of the first two arpeggios the notes between them are different. Do you play them as in the score? I can't tell for sure with the speed :)Would be interested to know the fingerings there if you have time to share. Thank you
In the original facsimile there is actually a typo in the first two arpeggios. It should be an ascending D major arpeggio followed by a descending A7 arpeggio, twice. Thank you!
Im looking at the sheet music you provided and i'm wondering how you are deducing the fingerings for the sections. I see that some of it is labelled with right hand fingerings but overall its pretty minimal, especially later on. How are you deciding how to plan out the right hand fingering in those cases?
I wonder if this would be also great for heavy metal guitarists who want to improve their sweep picking techniques
I am sure it would be helpful!
Nice study I'll try to learn it
I'd like to suggest you to play for us Gran jota by Francisco Tàrrega.
Master guitarist
It sounds like a study similar to Carcassi no 1 would you recommend this one over that ?
I don't see the sheet music here for this. Does anyone have a sheet music link for this Study No. 25? Much appreciated, thanks!
I updated the link to Aguado's method in the video description section. This study is on page 108.
it's EST 25 on page 108 on the book. The book can be downloaded from the link in the description.
Hi Tariq! Why do you prefer this one over Carcassi 25? They seem very similar but I find the Carcassi piece more musical.
I never said that! I like both that’s why I recorded both!
@@TeeHarb good answer! 😂😄
By the way, is your link correct? No.25 of this book is different piece.
Or am I looking for wrong page?
It's on page 108. I updated the link to show the first edition of his method alone.
Your left hand often is as if you played the violin
Oh ya! The piece I stayed away from. Small hands..😂
From another small hands I feel your frustration (especially a really short little finger greatly limiting reach 😢)
People search cecilia siquiera, really small hands
Remember Aguado composed this on a romantic guitar! :)
@TeeHarb
Hmm,..I never thought of that.
What a fabulous excuse I could have used!!😂
@hectoracero6420
Well they're not THAT small...😂
Odrobbbbbbbbb! :)
Iam gonna take a random guess you are lebanese?
Too many edits interrupt the flow, cut off words and, in general, go against the intent of the lesson. A hard pass on your tutorials.
There are individuals with a receptive and open mindset who are likely to learn a thing or two from this video. Don't be a party-pooper!
