Wonderful lesson! I love the embellishments on the repeats. Detailed demonstration of technical points. Beautiful tone production, now I am considering to cut my nails short. Thank You for sharing this lovely lesson Rob!
Great to hear from the magikpoloman! If you do cut your nails short, use very low-tension strings for a few months, or tune down a tone. The last thing you’d want is to get calluses. Allow the flesh time to get used to its new role. Only then should you start tuning back up. I’m using Savarez 52B here. Whatever you do, best wishes to yo!
This is a great lesson, love you videos and I've learned a lot just watching you play. I noticed that you've played material from William Leavitt and Mel Bay, as a teacher what guitar method book would you choose? I've read some are in favor Leavitt, others in favor of Mel Bay.
Thanks. The Mel Bay book is huge and there is the concern that most people will get bored and look for other things, but it has more good solo pieces than Leavitt’s book, which is mainly a ‘learn to read’ book, and is also huge, but not quite as huge as the Mel Bay. Both books have pluses and minuses. I’ve used both with different students. Neither, though, will teach you anything about improvising and playing jazz, not a thing.
Those are amazing! I had never heard those variations on that piece before! That’s incredible! As far as variations, always outstanding in my mind is Chet Atkins variations on Arkansas Traveler : th-cam.com/video/QoCkYpK9z5U/w-d-xo.html
Great lesson Rob, thank you for the inspiration😊

Super stuff - what a great lesson! Sounding beautiful, as ever.
Hey, Ian, nice to hear from you. I’m not sure if we ever met? Thanks for your nice comments, and best wishes for your own playing. Rob
@Rob MacKillop I know! We must rectify that at some point.
@@iwattguitar Where in the world are you?
So lovely, Rob!! :)
Cheers, Jared!
Superb thankyou. What guitar are you playing Rob. Cheers Cree
The same one I mention at the end of the video 😂 It’s by Rohan Lowe, his own model.

One beautiful example for varied repeats in Sor, is the Andante op 45, no.5 where the A section repeats with embellishments.
Gonna start looking out for these.
Absolutely. But they are all over the place, once you start looking. It's part of his compositional technique.
Lovely! Music is ❤️🩹 healing! Hi from Sorr and Tarrega for this is how they have heard it how it was played back then
Thanks, An Ly! I am happy you appreciate what I am saying.
Let's hear the Oud next to you sir ❤
I’m not very good with it. Maybe this video can be heard? th-cam.com/video/d0YQEJj2bOM/w-d-xo.html
