Beautiful sounding guitar! Twenty years ago I studied with Christopher Parkening and his suggestion for dealing with squeaks especially when recording (it's not as noticeable in live performance) is soaking your finger tips in water for a short period of time before the performance. It does work pretty well.
I was going to ask you for tips on playing without squeaks, after watching your super clean rendition of the theme from Cinema Paradiso, and then I found this video. Great tips! Thanks, once again!
@@UrosGuitar Maestro, do you sell the Scores to your arrangements? I would love to purchase the two songs you played when your teacher passed, Danny Boy & Nearer My God to Thee, as in this video: th-cam.com/video/NEY6kvVwho8/w-d-xo.html Please, let me know. Many thanks!!!!
thanks man, I was listening to your lagrima performance and I noticed that you didnt slide which made it sound more beautiful, so this video came up and watched it, great tips!
Thank you for sharing your professional advice. It helped me a lot to reduce the squeaking during position changes when I play. Training the sequence of lift - hold - place of all fingers of a given fingering/chord shape helped me to lift vertical without noise and separate it from the actual position change. It was very pleasing to my ears to listen to Lagrima without being constantly disturbed by the squeaking.
God bless teacher like you, Uroš. I feel myself elated whenever you are performing some guitar pieces... Although beginner for rest of my life ;), I'm thankful for all your advices...
Mirek Khodl I'm really humbled by your nice comment, thank you so much! Kind regards, U.

Great advice I think this applies for electric guitar as well. I feel like distortion always accentuates string and pick noises, so I'll definitely take this advice into account. Cheers
It is nearly impossible to eliminate all squeaks however a combo helicopter mute move will reduce the noise fairly efficiently with steady practice. The helicopter is lift and plant. The mute is used to dampen string response to the helicopter. Thanks Ben Verdery for introducing me to the helicopter.
Struggling with this lately. For some reason, perhaps the birth of my first child, I want the guitar music to sound sweeter without all these squeaking sounds. Thank you for the tips.
A great video for changing positions. It's really working. However, I have a left hand squeak even if I need to make a bass jump in the same position. Example: I am holding a C chord (C on the 5th string with the 3rd finger and E on the 4th string with the 2nd finger) and I need to change to F# on the 6th string with the 2nd finger. When just unpressing both basses, I am getting a noise. Most probably this is a lack of technique, but I can only make the unpressing silent if I make it very slow, which makes the switch sound like staccato. Unfortunately, all the videos on the subject concentrate on changing positions. Does exactly the same techniques apply to jumping the bass positions within the same position?
Thank you for this video! If I may add a question - does anyone else have a problem with the high e carbon high tension string, it breaks within hours of tuning up. . this doesn't happen with medium tension strings. I find it very frustrating (I use D'Addario) as I love the sound. . .
I barely hear any squeaks in your playing ever. Even when they are there it is very unpronounced. I have always worked to avoid that sound too. Some players seem to do it on purpose. I think it is thoughtfully kind to listeners to minimize it as much as possible
Then you won't like that Ritchie Kotzen abandoned the flat pick for fingers and took the finger noise right out of the electric! The noise belongs by choice.
You explained in seven minutes what ninety percent of other TH-cam guitarists can't seem to do

Thank you!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Wow, I'm amazed by the care and skill you put in to removing the squeaks. Lovely playing and lovely sound.

Pa tako je Urose, bravo majstore!

Thanks for the comment!
Great advice! Thanks for including “Lagrimas” in your class, a piece that all beginners like me want to play well.
My pleasure!

Thanks for your tips!! I´m learning that piece, Lágrima, and it´s true, the squeaks are very common on that. Thanks again!!
My pleasure!

So nice of you! Thanks!
What a difference on the La Grima, very nice!

like kangaroo jumps?
This guitar has a bell-liked tone quality, very powerful.

I enjoyed your instruct and demo clearly showing ways to handle those squeaks!
[thank you]
You are welcome!
@@UrosGuitar
Thanks a lot for this video, using those tips you can basically get rid of any squeaks in any piece
Yes!
The best version of Lagrima I have heard. I would really love to hear you play Tango Maria by Tarrega :)
Really helpful - thank you. I look forward to more 'tips'.
Hello Uros! Beautiful video! I would love for you to make a video on how to play with i, m and a on the bass strings without squeaking.
Buy D'Addario EJ45LP Pro-Arte Composite strings. The LP stands for Lightly Polished. They eliminate 75% of the squeak.
Very helpful advice, thank you very much!

I haven’t had that problem. Can you try the string on another guitar to see if your nut or saddle are the cause?
Very useful Uros!
Thank you.
Thanks, I listened carefully and found it in your video.
When recording I find a dab of vasoline on the finger tips helps!
Yes it helps!
Thank you very much. Great tips!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
May I ask which song were you playing at 5:52 ?
W Tsui It's Lagrima by Francisco Tarrega.
Yeah
Could you please tell me what song you play from the beginning?
Excellent advice.
good job thank
How do i move perpendicular to the string?
I think it's wrong term - I meant out of the string first (straight ahead) instead of directly going to the shift left or right.
@@UrosGuitar thank you for the clearance, I figured it out after trying a bit
I wish that all classical guitarists on youtube inform us what guitar they are playing...I really do,
What a teacher! : )
Valuable lesson!
Sharing is caring. Bravo🤝
How tall are you?
Im struggling to find a support that works for me,Im 190 cm!
Thanks :)
thank you so much Uros!
Thank you for this video!
4:28 lift you finger off perpendicular to the string.
Thank you Uros :)
Amigo busca quien traduzca tus vídeos al español para que tengas más visualizaciones! Y para que más personas puedan aprender de ti.
VERY GOOD AND THANX
Thank you!
muito util
Thank you
Meh, I'm in the camp that doesn't worry about it. It adds authenticity. Like playing a vinyl record...you come to appreciate the crackling sounds.
And now prelude 4 from HVL ;-)
Con aceitico.

less pressure
more speed
Flatwound strings
Segovia said that sound is part of the music. Learn to accept it.
the sound of a cat being strangled isn't music.
I tried but It still hurts. What can I do?
finger noise belongs to guitar playing - just think of Jimi Hendrix! - haha
