Thank you, Merce! I woke up this morning remembering a musical phrase from a dream. And this video has helped me take it to another level. I love to compose for the guitar; finding your TH-cam videos is like finding a gold mine. Thank you! Douglas
Hey Merce - finally catching up on everything here :) . So, yes, my teacher did mention in passing there were period techniques on slurs and trills and such that could be explored and one of my pieces had a descending glissano, but don't remember which one off hand. But the Aguado slurs where you exchange fingers -- that's a new one! (umm..so to speak). Will have to try this out...love the effect. Ties in with your earlier video on studying the piece for musicality, etc. and strategizing -- kind of like chess. Also, congrats on all the new camera/video gear -most impressive! Lastly - yeah-- have started trying these thirds harmonies in scale work..
Awesome! Double scales will make your left hand very responsive and 'fit' for most of our repertoire! Let me know if you manage to get this new funky slur down, Its a beautiful effect but might get tricky to perform with precision!
The subtleties of playing classical guitar is exactly why I fell in love with it in the first place, although now I feel the pain making very subtle improvements through big efforts. 💪 Still loving it though!
I've experimented with this a bit, but didn't realize it was a historical technique! I appreciate that you pointed out the sound difference vs a regular slur because I wouldn't have noticed.
Hi Merce, The slurs that really give me trouble are from a note way up the string to the same string open. Say...D on the first string to an open E on the first string. The sound I make is awful.
It might have something to do with the part of the finger that you hammer the string. Are you sure you are not getting the nail in between that creates an ugly cracking sound?
interesting! nice! ... and, related to a change in position, it could also be helpful in not only changing position but also setting up for a specific fingering required in the new position - which, I guess, will also influence/dictate which finger you switch to in the landing position. Anyway - great info - thanks!
Yes yes yes, this type of slur indeed gives you creativity to adapt to which fingers you need on the 'arrival' and thus also the fingering combination prior to that 😄 thank you for your comment Horace! Wish you a great day!
Great lesson! I enjoyed it a lot! I am currently using this technique in F. de Fossa music, who by the way was in charge for a major part of Aguado's method and deserves to be mentioned (not only among "many others") ;)
Hi Marko, how are you doing? Thanks for this information! I am very curious to know in which piece(s)/passage(s) you apply this peculiar technique. I am great admirer of his music :) Big hug!
@@64carlo Hi Carlo! I will write soon to you regarding that question. It was nice to follow your on-line masterclass in Oslo! Hope to see you soon! Hug! Marko
In Turkish march we play frets 7-6-7-9 (fingers 2-1-2-4) and shift to 10-9-10-12 (same figure) so we ends with pinky and transition to 2nd finger on the next fret. That situation blew my mind as a electric guitarist 😮
Interesting, thank you Merce. I also like the LH thumb camera as I was thinking that would have been useful on your cross exercise video. I'm sort of trying to figure out just when to move the thumb during those fret by fret transitions.
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai sometimes use this position shift slide using 2 fingers as a variation to one finger slides … on electric guitar … in the spirit of new ways …
I love it. Could be quite useful in some situations. This is a nice bit of guitar archeology (guitarheology?). I’m ONLY playing classical period pieces right now so I’ll give this a try.
Que video tan interesante! Sería muy interesante si publicaras diferentes pasajes a los que podría aplicarse esta técnica! Felicitaciones por el gran contenido de tu canal!
Muchas gracias Amjad! Por ahora no estoy estudiando nada del periodo clasico, pero a lo mejor un dia hago un video update con secciones aplicando la tecnica como tu comentas 😊 Gracias por tu feedback!!
Could this be a case where the composer wanted both a slur, and to guarantee an emphasis on the first note? Mozart's music has a lot of these kinds of passages
Yes, I think so because Aguado insists all the time about the accents before the slurs in such technique, he even adds on the score the little 'drop' mark to point this out! Nice observation!! 😊

Great historical contextualization. Interestingly, I just came across this technique a few days ago while watching a masterclass by Sharon Isbin on Villa-Lobos's Prelude #1 where she recommends the finger shift for a better sound, but it is a bigger jump (7 to 2 or something like that) if I recall correctly, so precisely not what you describe with only the wrist changing and the thumb staying fixed. Maybe this is a more common technique though? It certainly was new to me and to the student as well. Would love your opinion on that. Here's the masterclass, the section start at about the 11 minute mark: th-cam.com/video/E4Y5MjD5oe8/w-d-xo.html
Interesting technique! Thanks, Merce!
My pleasure!
Interesting Merce. Thanks!
Thank you Laurine! Wish you a wonderful week!
Thank you for sharing
Great Musician
Very elegant slur technique. Thank you, Merce!

We've all learned something new today. Excellent presentation, thank you Merce!

I am a huge Aguado fan….I have not come across this yet….or maybe I have, but didn’t know what I was reading? Great video…thx.
you are welcome Lawrence! 😊
Nice explanations. PS The B in "subtle" is silent, at least where I am from. suh·tl
Haha you are so right! Sometimes I forget how's the actual english pronunciation 😳
Lfuf, hmmm? How's your Catalon, Italian, and Spanish doing? Mine not so good, my pig latin is top notch though!

@@64carlo he's going to disagree with you on that. He also invented chords.
