Claro, sería grandioso que Alexandra compartiera también una práctica de Capricho Árabe. Por favor, maestra, cuando haya alguna oportunidad esperaremos ansiosos el momento.
Try Milos, 'the first two phrases should not be identical. You are casting a spell.....' We nourish our oversoul by creativity not exact repetition. I loved and memorised this piece in my twenties,and 40 yrs later love learning the interpretation of others still, Agreed with your request.
I, and I'm sure others, are learning a lot from your videos, and, equally important, being inspired and encouraged by you. It's great to hear you talk about the process.
Thank you again for sharing a glimpse of your practice process. It really helps to encourage those of us who get frustrated with not playing "perfectly". Hope all goes well when you play live with the cellist.
Thank you so much, Alexandra, for sharing your practice with us. I'd like to point out that not many professional guitarists are willing to share what you've accomplished. It has always been a draw for me to watch your videos, and I adore them!!
The pulsation of Piazzolla's Nuevo Tango can only really be understood once you have spent a good amount of time in Buenos Aires. It's the intense pulse of that unbelievable city... Too intense for some, but no passion can feel more intense than that lived on the shores of that city. Love and passion come at you, at speed, along those enormous avenues.
I love this piece from Piazzola, on keyboard or bandoneon it's a Joy to play but can be tricky on guitar with this transcription. Congrat your realy talented.
The piece is in D-/F, a key with only one flat, that being “b”; which means any b you happen to see in the score would be a flat, unless specified to be anything else.
I like Alexandra. She doesn t flower stuff up with mindless patter like a lot do. She keeps it simple and calls a spade a shovel. I like her humility and sense of humour. She will often play herself down but she s a marvellous player.
I love this type of videos. Continue producing content like this. I would like to see a "practice with me" with "Verano Porteño". I love to see you playing that piece, and I would like to start praticing this beautiful piece. A video like this one would very very useful. I love your work. Don't stop being who you are.
Thank you always for showing your beautiful and wonderful guitar skill. Inspired by your beautiful classical guitar, I have started playing it recently. I used to play acoustic guitar and electric guitar when I was student, but all of my musical instruments were destroyed by the big tsunami and earthquake ten years ago, so I am quite rusty. However, I have been practicing Cullare La Tempesta, watching your video, and it has been getting better and better. My wife and I always enjoy your videos with your selection of music. If you got a chance, I would like you to show how to read music sheets for guitar without TABs one day :)
thanks for this great video... i'm learning this song so it's really helpful to see you go through it.. one question .... on bar 5 and 6, you play a B flat instead of a B.. it certainly makes the fingering easier, just wondering if that was on purpose... i also signed up for tomplay too ( unfortuantely, your code expired, but thats ok )..
This is great: it's refreshing and very encouraging to see and hear you grappling with the transitions. I know what a terrific guitarist you are, so I hope you don't mind the occasional suggestion of an "alternative" note by me and below also by Klaus. We care about you!! I'm sure your concert will be lovely, keep up the good work!!
I "know" Capricho Árabe, although if I played it with you I would sound like a schoolkid. I'm gonna give this a go although I'm learning more flamenco now
Beautiful your rasgueado spanish’s word pronunciation, I Loved it! and I unrderstood it very well. Thank you for sharing this practice with me / Piazzolla’s Libertango. Flute arrangement was awsome as well. I really like your videos and your way of teaching. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸, God bless you.❤️🇬🇧🎸🎼😀🙏🏼🙏🏼💂🏻♀️👏👏👏❤️❤️
Do you recommend reinforcing your fretting 1st finger with your 2nd? I noticed you tend to do that. Do you find doing that helps avoid buzzed notes in your barred chords?
Is the tambura technique able to be played with mid-high tension carbon strings? I ask you because I tried tambura with a Knobloch Actives CX and the percussion over the strings make no sound at all! Asking just for curiosity I'm a newbie guitar learner and probably I'm doing wrong. Thanks
¡Gracias querida por semejante tango!... Al menos por intentarlo. From 9:00 to 10:11, me trying to play guitar while I'm reading the partiture, when I'm not reading a partiture... basically, every time. We can play together in a concert, just think about it! 🤣. "Rasgueado", just forget about the 'u' when you pronounce it, it has no sound in 'gue' and 'gui'. Think about "Rasgeado" (wrong spelling, by the way).
I love the combination of classical guitar and violin, such as when you performed this with Esther, but the combo with your computerised flute sounds damn good too. Could a duet with a real flautist be on the horizon? Or have you already done that and I've just missed it?
Alexandra would you consider doing Concierto de Aranjuez ? An arrangement for two guitars would be fab. Not all of it - just the great bits - the first few mins and the adagio ? :)
Alexandra, thank you for a great video. Could you tell how do you work on tempo? After you learnt new piece slowly, what is a proper way to increase a tempo?
Great way to think the music. I feel that the rasgueado has to be imititing the spike from the "guitarreros" argentinos. Again, great vídeo and congratulations!
Hi Alexandra, I have looked upon guitarists available on TH-cam to try to find my way to learn the guitar from scratch. And recently, I am stuck in the reading note on the music' sheet ( Tango en skai by the way) so can you give me some notes on this? P/S I'm a newbie to the musical world =>
I'm having fits with bar 26 - on the last 4 eight notes, AECD, do you take these with 4,3,4,1 (bar) on strings 1,2,3,2 - it looks like you are doing something else? Does anyone have an edition with fingering/strings you can recommend?
OK, I figured it out. I see how Alexandra makes it look so easy. She starts bar 25 with "2" on the "C" on the 3rd string. I was using 3. 2 is a stretch, but it's possible, and it not only sets up the correct fingering on the 5th fret, but it helps the barre chord when you need the "D", by turning the "1" finger sideways.
There is at least one cello version available. It is on Sara Sant Ambrogio’s solo CD. Unfortunately, her version has piano accompaniment instead of guitar, but it’s still good. I think there’s even a version for double bass. No doubt, sitar and dulcimer versions will soon follow! 🤣🤣
Libertango music is catered for the Advance player and needs a lot of legato flow and chord changing. I think the students can not follow without studying the music score first and isolate and practice the difficult sections. the actual speed is too difficult to learn until students master gradual tempo.
Sorry for being novice enough not to "get" what the roman numbers in the clef are? At first I figured they'd have to do with degrees of the key, but then those might be written as "solfa" thenagain. So yeah, I was rendered novice to not know what they are. I read so slow I suffer from no easily accessible chords for the song and I don't even know if the key is Am. Anyone?
I'm 73 and following the music score with the performance is a physical exercise for my eyes. Astonishing. Thank you!
Respect! Although Segovia had his show on the road at 21 and quit at around 90 lesser mortals fade much earlier.

This "practice with me" series is very interesting and useful. Please continue recording these videos! Maybe Capricho Arabe?
yes！ Capricho Arabe !
Claro, sería grandioso que Alexandra compartiera también una práctica de Capricho Árabe. Por favor, maestra, cuando haya alguna oportunidad esperaremos ansiosos el momento.
Yes..I loved that video of her...I learned the basics for a week then I studied her video for nuances..great!

Agreed with your request.
I think she did that one already.
Could be wrong though.
An autographed pic would be nice as well.

Quirky , adorable , amazing and talented..... you are an absolute delight to learn from. Thank you Alexandra.
You are my Lighthouse in the field of music! Thanks
I quit guitar playing after some 15 years of playing.
Now I can enjoy your playing vicariously with bliss.
Keep the great playing. Weiter so.
That was great. You really smoothed it out there at the end. Came all together! 👍
I love those kind of videos, to know the learning process of an individual can really help out for your own.

I love this piece from Piazzola, on keyboard or bandoneon it's a Joy to play but can be tricky on guitar with this transcription. Congrat your realy talented.
3:44 you play a bflat in the chord. shouldn't it be a b as indicated in the sheet? thank you for help
Not wanting to belittle the quality of Alexandra's performance, it also seems to me that it would be a "b" and not a flat "b"?!
The piece is in D-/F, a key with only one flat, that being “b”; which means any b you happen to see in the score would be a flat, unless specified to be anything else.
Thanks for making this - it has been super useful in helping me practice this song!

Hi Alexandra, I enjoy your playing! I just want to mention measure 5 is a diminished chord with b natural, no b flat there! So no shift...
yes, you are spot on.

You are absolutely amazing with a guitar! Your lessons have taught me so much ! God bless you !
OK, I love the Tomplay app! Thanks for the fun practice!!
Marvelous! Thank You so much, this is very helpful and inspiring.
Beautiful piece of music especially when the flute is added.
Gracias Alexandra por honrar a Piazzolla. Desde Argentina.
these are so helpful and interesting. If you happen to be practicing la catedral sometime soon I'd love to see a video of that
Bravo, Alexandra very quick understanding and playing, helpful long elegant fingers, and coordination wonderful, I wish Goodluck

Outstanding vlog and playing. Don’t think I would have a chance of playing along. Good luck with the concert and thanks.
This piece of music and cafe 1930, are my favorite.

after watching you and marcin play libertango with esther, I really want to pick this piece up :)
Always enjoy these! I'm sure you'll have a great performance of this piece.
Amo questa serie! Grazie!
Alexander you are an inspiration to me .Thank you 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Awesome piece. I will try to play it myself.
Very interesting and useful! Thank You, Alex!
I appreciate these videos so much. Thanks Alexandra :)
Genial!! El Gran Maestro Astor Piazzolla!!!
Most guitarists watching this video right now:
"What kind of tabs are those???"
Delightful and informative!
Do you recommend reinforcing your fretting 1st finger with your 2nd? I noticed you tend to do that. Do you find doing that helps avoid buzzed notes in your barred chords?
Thank you Alexandra for sharing!! :)
Love it keep them coming.
Amazing What a beautiful piece 🎸
You make it look easy to play but it is a difficult piece. Bravo
love Alexandra
Thank you so much
Fantastic Alexandra! Amazing!
amazing performance! where can i find the sheet of this tango?
bravo...magnifico
Thank you, Sasha
Really nice. Thank you!
This is going to sound crazy, but the chordal progression reminded me of the song "Wishing you were Here" by Chicago.
I've heard of the song as the movie soundtrack ' Le Pont du Nord ' directed by Jacques Rivette, my favorite
No sé inglés pero la música me transporta a un único idioma...HERMOSURA
This is gonna be amazing, and I know it!
loved it ,and that tomplay looks amazing , what a great way to practice, is there a way you can put in your own fingering ,
where do i get the sheet music?
Your rendering always makes me think of a word "precise"
Thanks for the link. The music sheets look good. Do you ever use Sybelius ?
Is the tambura technique able to be played with mid-high tension carbon strings? I ask you because I tried tambura with a Knobloch Actives CX and the percussion over the strings make no sound at all! Asking just for curiosity I'm a newbie guitar learner and probably I'm doing wrong. Thanks

Alexandra which country are you from?
i would like to see a Bellinati's Jongo practice. thanks for the high quality content
I wish I could record videos with musicians as good as Alexandra Whittingham in the future.
I love the combination of classical guitar and violin, such as when you performed this with Esther, but the combo with your computerised flute sounds damn good too. Could a duet with a real flautist be on the horizon? Or have you already done that and I've just missed it?
great video Alexandra!❤ i'm gonna perform this with my flutist friend in 2 weeks haha what a coincidence!🥰
Thank yo Alexandra" Love is músic Love is Alexandra 🎼❤️ 🇧🇷
Alexandra would you consider doing Concierto de Aranjuez ? An arrangement for two guitars would be fab. Not all of it - just the great bits - the first few mins and the adagio ? :)
Well done sbagliando si impara ottima lezione
Alexandra, thank you for a great video. Could you tell how do you work on tempo? After you learnt new piece slowly, what is a proper way to increase a tempo?
Alexandra thank you for very usefull videos. Make Cafe 1930 2nd part please!
Great way to think the music. I feel that the rasgueado has to be imititing the spike from the "guitarreros" argentinos. Again, great vídeo and congratulations!
The chord progression sounds like Chicago’s “Wishing you were here”.
I notice that you read music without looking at the fretboard. How is this done?.
アレクサドラさんこんばんは😃🌃ピアソラはタンゴの定番曲ですね🍀
This is fun. I'm sure Tiffany Poon would approve :)
Be careful, in the third chord it’s a B natural, not a B flat.
I love this pice 💓
thank you very much thank
What is that amazing software? For reading music.
i love youuu, you are mi heroee
How do you not know about Guitar Pro? It's such a better program!
Shou parabéns pelo ensino 👏👏👏👏

I know you can do it, you played that piece with another musician, and I think it's gonna be great this time, good luck to your concert.
