Thank you Charles, I saw Sabicas play at Carnegie Hall in the late 80s, very memorable show. People in the audience threw roses on the stage.
That’s amazing!!
I haven't heard many people talk about Sabicas! Thanks for the awesome upload, I loved the Bream and Segovia videos as well.
You’re quite welcome! He is one of my all time favorite guitarists, definitely worth studying. Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos!
Kill the background music and these vids would be the bomb
Thanks for compiling all these great clips, as they provide valuable insights into what the old Masters of Guitar were doing. I had the good fortune of seeing Sabicas in concert, and I did notice his ring finger tuck, and use of iaia alternation. Looking forward to watching more of this video series.
What an awesome thing to witness!
@@CharlesAlexanderAllred Yes, it was awesome! Though there don't appear to be any films of Augustin Barrios playing, somewhere along the line, I heard or read that there may be one in South America. The reason I mention that, is I both the Benites, and Stover Editions of the Guitar Works of Barrios. In each edition, there is an arpeggio called "Estidio Para Ambas Manos. In both editions, the right hand arpeggios are fingered aiaiai.... In the Stover edition Preface, it mentions "In very little of the music collected were there any fingerings given." I find this an interesting "coincidence."
@picksalot1 that is interesting. A publisher’s choice maybe? Barrios would be a fascinating person to watch play, as most of his pieces are quite difficult.
I particularly liked this video because I think Sabicas has one of the most spectacular technique of any classical or flamenco guitarist I have a friend that has an incredible speed on scales and he once told me that there are certain muscles on your forearm that you are either born with them or not .
My guitar teacher felt the same about Sabicas, he was his favorite guitarist even though my teacher was primarily a classical player. The more I learn about guitar playing the more greatness I see in Sabicas. I wonder if your friend is right about fast scales. I have been studying how to play fast scales for over a decade, and when I see a great scale player play with such speed, strength, and ease, it still looks totally foreign to me.
Hey this is really well done! Thanks for the video.
Thankyou, I found Sabicas index technique super beneficial for control
Very informative Sabicas information
The master ! He has no equal !
so relaxed......
At the time flamencoguitarists (like magician's) were still verry secretive about their techniques (the more in the know, the more competetors for the few paid jobs). Sabicas however was always willing to show you a thing or 2 for the simple reason he was miles ahead of others and no one would be able to match him.
Excellent video
Really enjoying these videos (how about Yamashita?)
What a monster
Without a doubt!
It's like he got bored or tired of using some fingers and just slapped what he wanted in the pattern. Then he somehow recorded that in his memory when he liked it so he could replay.
Why do flamenco players use their pinky backhand but not forewords classical style? Is that finger just for weight?
Flamenco is wild
@joe308watson indeed! I love how he keeps creating new finger patterns for different techniques. As for the little finger, it’s not super advantageous to use for plucking, but it is much better for strumming.
Absolute beast of a guitar player. I mean he is at the top with Shawn Lane in my book.
Amzing!!! can you do Manuel Morao??
I don’t know him but I’ll look into it
Also a Flamenco player an old classic, youre gonna be blown away from his rasgueados @@CharlesAlexanderAllred
Sabicas was the best, and the master of another beast: Paco de Lucia.
Hi Charles. This video was cool as was the one on Segovia. Your analysis of the fingering is insightful. However, I struggled to get through both , even though I was really interested in what was going on, because of the background music. It’s maddening. It might be fine stand alone, but we’re looking at history’s greatest guitarists! I want to hear them, not some tepid, flamencoish background track. Particularly while looking at their fingers! It sets off a cognitive dissonance that’s really annoying. I want to look at all your stuff. It’s great. But I can’t bear to if you’ve got background music going on. If you aren’t allowed to play what we’re seeing, just talk. It’d be much much better. Cheers.
Segovia rescued the guitar from the noisy hands of Flamenco players like this lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
Segovia for all his efforts to establish a repertoire for the classical guitar, was a very arrogant, opinionated individual. He even bad mouthed the great Brazilian composer Villalobos, who added so many beautiful compositions for the classical guitar. His trash talking about flamenco guitarists was brutal. However it did not diminish anything from the school of flamenco starting with Ramon Montoya, Sabicas, Mario Escudero and many more, eventually Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, Vicente Amigo and such.
Too much words and not examples or exercises. It's not interesting your work.
