Actually, thumb planting involves going to the next adjacent string right after playing. So the thumb would go directly to touch string 4 after playing string 5, and go directly to touch string 3 after playing string 4. After playing the 3rd string the thumb will move as quickly as possible to string 5 to repeat the sequence. I haven’t found 1 proper tutorial on right hand planting in the Giuliani exercises in all of youtube. I’m planning to make one. I learned from a masters student of Pepe Romero as a music major.
Is this mostly for arppegios or should I strive to do this with all pieces? I guess it is mainly useful for quicker pieces assuming there are multiple strings being played that should remain legato? (obviously that would be advanced and probably require separate practice of the technique and also actively practicing it on any new piece) Awesome videos thank you! I am working through the method 1 book now and excited to buy the second one after!
Would you also apply sequential planting to a triple note arpeggio running down- and upwards, like p-i-m-a-m-i ? I'm just practicing Baden Powell's prelude in A-minor and wonder if this planting technique could help me here.
@@ThisisclassicalguitarI'm pivoting slightly... I'm doing a beta online beginner guitarists masterclass. It is a 12-week intensive for the students who have never played, learn and share one piece of music (or more) in 12 weeks or less. I'm limiting my enrolment to 7 students to guide and coach them along the way.
Should you then always use planting while playing arpeggios? As sequential planting is the most legato, why not focusing only on sequential planting? Thank you for your video
Surely it's the least legato for all practical purposes? Unless the tempo is that slow - way below the scored arpeggios that I hear - it has no audible value? Not an informed criticism just a personal observation. If someone can please refer to me a piece that has this demonstrated then I would be grateful.. Thanks.
Yes, it works on anything. Just specifically place the fingers on the strings before they have to play, either one at a time or as a group (make it obvious and purposefully before you play so they rest there for awhile).
Lately I've been recommending guitars with truss rods since beginner level instruments don't always keep their neck shape well. So the Cordoba C5 is my starting place. www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/review-cordoba-c5-classical-guitar/
You don't NEED nails to play well. However, most (almost all) professional classical guitarists use them as they offer control, clarity, and volume advantages. If you are more on the beginner side don't worry about them for now. If you want to use nails you have to shape them properly, see my lesson: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/fingernails-on-classical-guitar/
Brilliant, starting my journey at 61yrs young.
Congrats, hope you enjoy yourself!
Thanks!
Thanks again!

Another superb lesson. I like it 👍
Thank you! I bought your book and I didn't understand the different right-hand plants. Your video has helped me understand more.
Ya, videos are so much more informative, that's why I'm aiming to cover every page of my books in video.
Excellent presentation!
Excellent lesson!! Thanks.
very good lesson
Thank you! 😃

thanks for vid .. do you think planting when you play tremolo?
Yes, although on the upper string with a-m-i it's really just staccato since the planting stops the sound. I'll be going over tremolo exercises soon.
Will planting work for backwards picking...amip?
Yes, it works on anything. Just specifically place the fingers on the strings before they have to play, either one at a time or as a group (make it obvious and purposefully before you play so they rest there for awhile).

Should i have nails for better playing? They bother me so much,i can't even hit the note
