THIS WAS THE FIRST SONG I LEARNED ON GUITAR AND I COULDN'T FIND IT TIL RIGHT NOW. I just randomly came across My Chemical Romance's songs, and the intro to one of their albums is a sample of this song... Immediately sounded familiar and I followed the crumbs to here... My god.
This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar when I was 14. My first guitar was a classical my grandpa gave me, and he taught me this, forgot how to play the whole thing until I saw this, it came right back!
I have found that if you hold the guitar that rock style way where the guitar is horizontal it's really difficult. I have been doing that for two years with electric and have gotten really good at barres on that and the Jimi Hendrix thumb over the neck thing. But now that i am getting into classical i do indeed realize that you have to hold it in that classical fashion to do the barres far down due to the way the classical guitar is built. Barres are generally easier if you hold the guitar in that classical fashion
small tip that worked for me for the barre chords of this piece: try moving your index finger a little up. Notice that when he barres his index is sticking out above the fret a little.
I know this is an old post and you probably don't pay attention to it but I'll comment on it anyway. I've been a guitar player for over 45 years semi-professionally and this is one of the pieces I have played. I have seen this played over the years in so many different ways - it's like seeing a dish made in different ways. But you play it the "traditional" way. So many players spruce it up and fancy it up that it's like trying to put legs on a snake or gilding the lily: they put too much sugar on the cereal. I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, thanks for showing it the plain, simple way. Cheers, mate! John.
I was revisiting this song on my guitar and this 8 year old video popped up in my recommendation the day after. I am convinced that we are being recorded all the time.
Sometimes for bar chords you have to build a callus on your left index finger as well as build the strength of that finger. For the part with the 5th fret barred if you can bar all the strings you can just bar the 1st 2nd and 3rd string with the index and play an open A note for the bass note. As for the Bar chord at the 7th fret you're gonna have to build your strength. I was surprised to see i couldnt barr the chords anymore. I've been playing too much heavy metal. Beautiful song though. Thanks for the lesson.
+Freddy Olsen started this one yesterday, having problems with the bar chord part, I get this muted sound because my finger is not pressing hard enough, not sure how to get past this
+Adro Nader (adro191) For every barre chord take a minute to figure out which strings you actually need. Sometimes a full barre is not necessary and will save you energy and make the chord much easier.
Hi, I have just started playing again after 15 years, long story. I wanted to familiar myself with some tunes I used to sit and play. Romanza, Stairway etc. I love your youtube video lessons and have enjoyed some recall. My mechanical memory is slowly coming back, very slowly. Your videos are so easy to understand and visually great, as is your verbal tuition. Thank you so much. PS I would love to see you do the same with Etude in E minor, but I know it's not a request show. Keep up the brilliant work.
I learned this piece when Frederick Noad taught classical guitar on PBS (New York) way back in the late 60's. Should be easy for me to get it back. Thanks for the refresher.
Every single dam time I go to youtube and type in how to play a song 100% of the time Carl already did a tutorial on it I really wasn't expecting this song on this channel but here it is... Dude you are awesome!! Keep up the great work
For anyone stuck on the bar chord, you have a second option. You can do a half-bar (which is way easier), and instead of playing the `E` as a bass note, play the `A` string, keeping the melody line the same. But be warned, this makes the transition to the seventh position bar harder. Hope this helped.
We called it "Jeux Interdits" in France because of the movie. It seems like it's a piece teached to a lot of beginner classical guitarist. I'm so happy to learn it ! Sounds magical !! Thanks Carl for your lessons
Hey Carl, absolutely love your channel and have been supporting it for as long as I can remember first starting to play guitar. But anyhow, I was wondering if you could kindly create a "classical" guitar lessons playlist on your channel, it would be fantastic. While you only have a handful of classical lessons on your channel, including this one, that opens up room for suggestions, which you can then build off of that. I'm really glad to have you back man, keep up the guitar mastery! Thank you so much for being such an awesome guitar instructor. In my opinion, you're the best on TH-cam. Perhaps all around, haha.
Well you couldn't have timed that one better Carl! I'm just about to teach someone this piece but, I'd forgot how to play it! This was a great refresher reminder. Oh, and beautifully played I have to add. I'm gonna take another listen to enjoy and, to learn from. Hope you are well. Tony ;)
Great video! i dont go for any guitar classes or anything and this is still really easy! good clear instructions :D learnt the 1st part! now onto the next! thanks!
I was in the Army in 1987. Was stationed at ft Ord CA. This spc e-4 named Swabba showed me how to play this. i could fake it a little. i never new the name of the song or the artist. well i finally found it is a really old classical song named ‘Romanza’. Now i can continue learning it 🤣🎸😂👏 thank u!!!
Awesome lesson ... I really love this style of music and you make it so easy for us to learn it. Thanks so much for doing this and I look forward to seeing more of your lessons.
This piece of music has been on my mind for a couple of days so I searched for a video of it and found this excellent video from a very good teacher - I shall definitely be practicing from this video to try to learn this piece (even though I have an electric guitar).
My technique for bars is to push my elbow away from my body so my arm is as close to perpendicular to the guitar as I can, since I usually play with my elbow tucked in at the side. It stops me from trying to do the bar with the side of my finger and more with the softer part (can't think of what that part of the hand is called. Also, to practice bars, use your index finger like normal, but put pressure on your index finger with your middle finger until you get all the strings sounding right so you know how much pressure to put on. Also don't practice bars for too long because it can really hurt your wrist and make you want to avoid them as much as you can
Thank you Sir. I knew saving that guitar for years was worth it. This theme had been in my mind since childhood. Always comes back when I think of Spain and Sheldon ever gave it the necessary attention until your easier methodology came into play. It would be a joy to finally able to interpret it on my own guitar. If I only know a piece of armonios guitar, let it be this one
Thank you so much:) this is a wonderful lesson, the best I found for this piece by far....I'm just beginning and and my small hands are having trouble with the stretches and putting enough pressure on the chords....but I'm obsessed with getting the hang of it! and hey; practice makes perfect:)
Hey, there is a link in this video's description that takes you to the page containing all the video lessons for this song as well as the TAB PDF that you can download. Have fun! Carl..
I learned this 20 years ago when I was a lot younger and playing classical. I put the guitar down for a long long time and picked it up again about 8 months ago I STILL can't play the 7th fret bar chord. It is so very frustrating. I just can't get that note on the B string to sound good.
I dont know why but this is quite easy to learn, but idk what makes that barre so hard for you guys, I only play bar chords to be honest 😁 I found the pick pattern annoying if anything
I here by grant you sir a congressional medal of music bravicimo bravo you sir are a damn good teacher took me some time but i finally got it after quiting and coming back 6-50 times thank you sir sincerely some guy you may never know
So, I bought a classical guitar and my dad gave me a classical guitar peice to learn. I decided to take a brake and look up somd classical guitar videos on your channel and I fing this video. Upon listening to you play it at thd beginning, I realized that ths piece you are playing in this video, is the exact same peice my father gave me. Small world huh?
If you're finding it hard to do the barre chords and have tried a number of different things, consider a different guitar: 3/4 classical, electric, flamenco guitar, etc. It might make a difference.
Wow !!! SO amazed to have a lesson from u sir.. And i just could play it very well. Awsome song too. Im having a little trouble with that 7th barre. Thats coz i didn learn classic way of guitarring and i hold guitar the usual way., so the wrist pains when i hold the barre fpr long.. Anyway extreme thanks to u bro:)
Heya. Thought I would share my thoughts as hopefully it will bring some joy like the rest. I first picked up a guitar nearly a week ago and I have been playing or practising plucking ever since (hence the painful fingers whilst I type xD). I was recommended this tune from some random person on the internet and came across this video. I'm only up to the first bar as we speak after two days, but this video has helped me out practising no end! It feels like I am progressing, nailing everything up to the bar after lots of repetative practise and alot of fails, and it is amazing. Sounds and feels so great. Thank you for this video! It is strengthening my fingers for other random plucking tunes and is just a great help. The dislikes can go do one, you're a great teacher for someone who wants to go it alone
You are wonderful and sincere, and I follow you with interest and learn a lot from you. If it weren't for your teaching, I wouldn't have loved the guitar, and I hope that you will continue to teach the pieces using the open chords method, like albinony , monamour , moon light ex. Half of your viewers is mine when I learn from you 👍🎸👍💞💐💞💐👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Excellent teacher* lol this is the first finger picking song I'm gunna learn. I'm up to the part with that first barchord /.\ yeah I'm still new to bar chords

Adro Nader i had exact same problem, what u can do is just bar the 3 lowest strings. (the string 456) it makes barley any difference

boogie3478 problem occurs when u are going to try to learn new songs, so many songs require you to be able to barre the chord
+boogie3478 I agree, dont bother barring the E string to make it into a B. Sounds the same, infact i think it sounds better.
barre on the 7th frets and holding down the 11th fret with a pinkie, this is hell

Thought I was a natural until I started to hit the bar chords....
man fuck the bars...
I'm assuming you're still in the beginner zone. Just keep practicing and eventually you'll get it! Good luck.

Push the guitar with your fretting arm towards your body when hitting a fret chord.
@@zain4019 The downside is when you push the guitar like that it makes it a bit out of tune when doing a Barre chord.
