Learn to play classical guitar without fingernails in just 10 days with Brandon Acker 🎸 classicalguitar-pro.com/p/no-nails-in-10-days
Is this course suitable for beginners? Or is it better to start with "Classical guitar pro vol.1"?
@@daniillandau If you cannot read music and do not have a basic understanding of good technique, it is best to start with Classical guitar pro and then proceed to the no nails course :)
If my English is not good, is it possible with spanish subtitles?
Yes there are Spanish subtitles available :)
@brandonacker Having played both with and without nails and also creating content on both, which do you prefer?
It's an honour to have you play something I arranged Brandon, thank you so much. Your performance is breathtakingly beautiful🥰
Glad to know it's Shaun Murray's arrangement. I have the guess when I hear Brandon Acker's performance. I had transcribed your performance years ago. Now I don't have to do it again.😊
This is one of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever heard .
I didn’t realize that Brandon didn’t arrange it until now, so I do want to give credit where it’s due - fantastic work! Thank you so much!
Excellent arrangement--downloaded, thanks!
@@StevenBornfeld Thank you! 🙂
I was introduced to this beautiful piece of music back in 1991 when I was completely drawn in and mesmerized by Ken Burns’ documentary, The Civil War. I was in my early 20s then, and both the documentary and this song have stayed with me ever since, quite deeply and profoundly. I still well up with tears when I hear it.
Same here. I can't ever get through this tune without getting all emotional. It's so weird, it makes me feel sad for all the people who have died in wars, are dying in wars now, and will die in future wars.
I concur. Gets every time…to both.
As I'm part Irish and play classical guitar this gets me and I love it .
Just Beautiful!!! It can't be said any better than the way Emilio Pujol put it, "The tone of a string struck with a fingertip possesses an intrinsic beauty, which affects the deepest feelings of our sensibility, just as air and light permeate space. It’s notes are incorporeal, as might be the notes of an ideally expressive and responsive harp…this style stands for the transmission, without impurities, of the deepest vibrations of our emotions”. Thank you Sir!
Up vote for the no nails approach to your playing 😁👍
Just a quick note from a stranger. I haven't played a musical instrument in 10 years, but before that was in the Marine Corps band. I was so burned out from musical playing that I can't even think about playing again. Watching your videos is stirring that itch in me again. Thank you for the inspiration, and perhaps I will one day be able to play again.
You can .you really can take music back into your heart . Xxx❤
Exactly the same story as me except from the British side. Picked up classical guitar 4 years ago (I'm 54) self taught of course, loads of online resources these days and I'm flying now. Hardest but most enjoyable instrument I've played. Hated music for years after I got out. Will never do music professionally again. Military music was like packing Mars Bars in a factory. Now it's coffee and me time.
That was fantastic. Beautiful!! No nails is a softer attack and a more expressive approach. Thank you for sharing your talent and skill with us.
I wanted to thank you personally for posting all those wonderful music pieces. You are a really maestro and play very emotional and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing :D
Delightful and gentle as it should be on this piece.
I like that description. He does play very gentle and delicately.
I rarely ever remember of liking the videos I watch, regardless of how much I like them. However, when I watch your videos, I am always drawn to liking it. Brandon, you make me love music and more, each day that passes.
This is just beautiful. Thank you
Appalachian Old Time musicians are notoriously conservative when it comes to incorporating newly composed tunes into the tradition, but this is one tune that just about everyone agrees ought to be an old song even if it’s not. Jay Unger wrote a civil war lament that never was!
A beautiful melody performed simply without embellishment in a manner that makes it a pleasure to listen to repeatedly
it sounds beautiful and I just love Brandon's touch on the guitar. His tempo and approach to this farewell melody is nothing short of authentic and wonder.
Beautiful, gentle playing, Brandon. You get a gorgeous, warm sound using this technique. God bless.
Sent me down a rabbit hole checking the history and other performances. The tune feels familiar but I couldn’t remember ever hearing it. Surprised it was written so recently.
bro this is amazing
Those quick moves up and down the neck ... amazing
My no-nail self feels so represented.
Beautiful tone. Beautiful articulation. Enjoy hearing your playing.
Yes very good time but not perfect.
@@davidrobinson7260 Perfection is a lie.
@@joseph2832 idk what you mean, like I’m not sure if you’re saying something profound or referencing something but yeah.
@@davidrobinson7260 Good luck to you stranger!
@@joseph2832 lol I love your spirit!
This has long been one of my favorite pieces to listen to, and hearing it arranged and played so well makes me truly happy. You’ve made my day man, thank you
Ahhhh Brandon, I smashed the like button before I even played it b/c I knew it would be absolutely gorgeous, & you did not disappoint!! Goosebumps upon goosebumps!! This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, & your arrangement is ‘chef’s kiss’ - God bless you for blessing us with this today!
It doesn’t get more beautiful than this on guitar.
I have a very fond memory of performing this for our last song in 8th grade orchestra at the middle school graduation ceremony. Probably my favorite piece I ever played as part of an orchestra. So beautiful and sentimental
The superlatives about how you play this composition have already been said. But you and your talent, my dearest maestro, to create emotion from little black dotes bring tears to my eyes.
Beautiful. Classical guitar is magic 🪄
My uncle played this on his fiddle and when he passed we played it at his funeral, and now his sons play it at every funeral in the Riedmueller family. It’s on my list too. It’s so beautiful!
Thank you so much for your no nail approach and your profound musicality. i am now taking your class and already enjoying a lot after the first lesson.
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks Markus and enjoy my course:)
Thanks Brandon. Your sweet, mellow no nails sound is perfect for this achingly beautiful, iconic music.
I love this tune and have been working on it for the last few months. Although it is an American tune it has a real Celtic feel. You played it superbly.
Gorgeous interpretation!
Haven't found an instrument this isn't wonderful on. Did my own Highland bagpipe setting of it and love it on that instrument as well (collapsed to a single octave, of course; and with a chanter that can do a flattened 3rd).
so funny you put this out... I heard you play this years ago I feel like and tried to learn it and found Shaun Murray's arrangement... came back to it a couple weeks ago and then you put this out. Glad to hear it fully - Salutations!
Poignant and immaculately played.
So glad you finally uploaded a full version of this - I remember rushing to learn it after hearing it in your blindfold challenge videos, and now we have a full version! (It sounds incredible half step down btw)
One of my favorite songs. Sound wonderful on guitar. I play it on a linear tuned ukulele and that’s good too. Thanks gor this lovely performance.
Been waiting for this one sins the blindfolded guitar comparison with Marshall
One of my favorites to play on my mandolin. Expertly done. Your intonation is sublime.
Dude... just.. "wow".
...every time.
Beautiful rendition. I normally hear this tune in bluegrass circles which is a very different take.
Beautiful indeed, but it's strange because I was thinking it was a traditional Scottish folk tune.
such a lovely piece and well played
This was the very first song I learned and I still play it today.
Good god I love this song so much.
Soooo lovely. Your rendition of this song is perfection! ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I enjoy this sound of no nails. Very smooth and soothing..
It’s good that you have found your own technique,
That was wonderful. Thanks so much. Praise the Lord
Amen
Thank you so much for a piece of soulful and gentle reality in these wild crazy times 🕯️🎶🌼
I loved this movie, this song in particular always stood out. Great rendition!
Sehr,sehr schön!!😊
Thank you for sharing this beautiful arrangement and performance. One of my favorite "movie" melodies along with Stanley Myers' "Cavatina".
Precision, feeling, dynamics...can it get any better than this ??
Why are you so talented!??!?! I love you, man. Thanks for sharing & please keep it up. All the best from Sofia, Bulgaria =]
I definitely didn’t expect to be hearing folk music on your channel. I love it.
My favourite song I play this a lot at folk meetings beautiful ❤
So, so very fine! Thank you for sharing!
That was majestic! Thank you for sharing your incredible performance of this song! As you know it's quite expensive to attend concerts so I am very grateful for the opporutnity to hear a concert level profesisonal playing. This does not mean I wouldn't happily pay. If i lived in America I would love to see you perform live ! I loved the live stream concert you did a while back. It was at a church with opera singers . It was so much fun and was an absolute pleasure to hear you live! ☺️
Wishing you all the best !! :)
Love your performance, love the arrangement, and love the tone of your gorgeous guitar!
Well done and refreshing to hear the beauty of simplicity. (Sometimes trickier to play! Like riding a bicycle slowly) :)
"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters."
~Norman Maclean
Bellísimo sonido y una gran interpretación. Muchas gracias, Brandon.
I love this! Thanks so much for a beautiful rendition!
Been learning this piece on different instruments recently and it is really fun 🙂
Lovely tone and dynamics! I'm hearing hints of 'Waltzing Matilda' in the melody...
This is beautiful, but I dread the day that I hear it at my grandfather's funeral. He heard my highschool band play it and requested it. I learned (and subsequently forgot) the fiddle part. I wish I had more time to relearn and move people like this moved me.
Yes this 20th c tune can stand proudly among the very best of earlier American tunes such as shanendoa. Bautifully played on guitar solo It sounds it's best perhaps. on fiddle and guitar
Beautiful interpretation Brandon. The guitar is sounding better than ever
This is absolutely beautiful brandon
Can you please make a cover of la cathedral by barrios I would love to hear it from you ❤🪐
This is absolutely lovely - beautiful melody and a sympathetic arrangement of it to bring out the best
Very beautiful, You've made a wonderful job of that. Thankyou. I'm a folkie, finger style guitarist, who has often played that lovely tune, on a piano accordion. Food for though.t
What a beautiful piece. Well done, Brandon. Your playing is absolutely amazing!
I love this song I’m playing on classical guitar for my spring concert. I absolutely love your playing!
A lovely performance of a lovely song.
So beautiful! Thank you
Thank you Brandon .
Great work Brandon.
Accordé un demi ton plus bas et la mélodie est tellement plus convaincante! Joli!
Beautiful
When I took classical lessons as a kid I learned with nails, but as an adult I play without.
It’s just more practical for me
And I had lessons that way as an adult
Not playing a lot of classical these days, mine is getting repaired ( bridge and headstock refinish)
Beautiful playing.
A beautiful rendition, sir! Mournful, yet bright and hopeful.
So Lovely!
Very beautiful
Hey! That was fantastic! Play some Sor next.
Loved it!
Goose bumps!❤
This is the most American sounding piece of music by far. Lovely playing man.
Inspirational
Absolutely beautiful.
Love this tune . Do do a lesson for this beautiful tune
Very brilliant. Made my afternoon. Thanks.
As usual you nailed it! and without nails! Great performance Brandon!
You nailed it I have to say!
Very nice arrangement. Well played. I first heard it in The Civil War (Ken Burns). Thanks. 👍
Loved the performance!
I understand if this request is too much trouble, but I really think a renaissance esque version of "You Can Never Come To This Place" by Masayoshi Takanaka on one of your extended scale lutes would be an incredible thing!
I feel like you could really channel the feeling of innocence lost and the bittersweet beauty of mortality.
Absolutely beautiful!
I love this song. Great cover
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful.
This sounds so much better on guitar than violin lmao
Thems fighting words 😂
As a violinist who has played this song solo on many a paid gig for the last 30 years, I agree but I think there's probably a time and place for either/both. A duet properly arranged would be nice.
Also, I was surprised this version wasn't in drop D although that would definitely complicate some voicings and fingerings.
Most things do.
Both were used in the documentary. So I fully disagree.
now I have a new piece to learn, beautifully played!
This is hands down the best guitar setting I've heard of the tune; who arranged it? The soundtrack for Ken Burns' The Civil War was a really integral part of a couple years of my childhood tbh...
Arranged by Shaun Murray 🙂
@@ironmonger100 ah- thanks for that. Oh wait; that's you! An intensely beautiful arrangement. Excellent work ❤️
Beautiful!
That’s beautiful I play this on mandolin with guitar accompaniment!
Thank you Brandon this was my dads favorite song
