Great video! But if you imagine yourself in the Amazon rainforest while listening to Villa Lobos... I would just like to point out I doubt Villa Lobos even ever went anywhere near the Amazon rainforest. The background for his works was much more inspired by the metropolitan atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, a decadent metropolis ravaged by poverty and crime and the southeastern Brazil countryside, which looks a lot like the stereotypical American "South" with folkish rednecks but with less racism. He also has some pieces inspired by Northeastern Brazil culture, which I could only summarize as something like the Wild West...all of these places are closer to Africa to anywhere near the Amazon. Just a tip ;P

During the pandemic I had more time and after 20 years of not studying I started learning again. This time, the modern way, choosing repertoire on TH-cam and Spotify and then buying or downloading the scores on the Internet. Next thing I knew I bought a Tonebase subscription. It's incredible, I truly recommend it. If you have the time, you can learn so much.. Villa-Lobos was probably the greatest Brazilian composer for solo guitar (and more) but I feel that not enough people play Garoto. Paulo Bellinatti recovered his incredible work. The fingerings are challenging for players only used to play classical guitar as they require sometimes the use of 5 fingers on the right hand or semi bars with the left hand. Easier if you have played jazz or bossa nova before. I wish you play some of his music so that more people give it the deserved credit as he passed too young and kind of was forgotten. He has some virtuoso pieces but all of it is extremely beautiful. From Garotos compositions Villa Lobos most cherished Debussyana. Check it out !
Villa Lobos is the reason i started classical guitar
Really? Can you tell us more about it?
For me, it's one of the reasons I actually left classical guitar. It was just too demanding and I realised it wasn't the music I wanted to dedicate myself to. Still love listening though, the music is beautiful. But it was just too frustrating, especially since it was pre-internet days and the only Villa-Lobos I had available was just a bit of sheet music. Still play guitar, play music that I enjoy... but a part of me still wishes I could be the kind of guy that could just pick up a guitar and play a flawless Étude 7.
@@mejsjalv you could just play something else?
@@mejsjalv my teacher always tells me, Villa Lobos is actually easy , because it is written for guitar. All the fingerings are more or less logical and good to remember. You only have to practise VERY SLOW ! If you can Play it slow, you can play it fast. Dedicate your self to the Instrument ,the classical guitar itself and not to a specific Music and you will be able to play anything.
But Villa lobos is part of Classical guitar style? 🤔

We need more of this ranging from sor, carcassi, Giuliani, brouwer, mertz, dyens and others. You already made tarrega and barrios and this series is a must. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
CARCASSI the best !
Joaquin Rodrigo would be a good one as well, even don't playing guitar, he composed great pieces for the instrument.
Brouwer was terrible
Yes!!!!! UP that comment!
Agreed! This series is one of my favorites.
Temos orgulho da nossa música, a nossa verdadeira música, é uma honra para o Brasil sua interpretação, abraços do Brasil meu amigo Lucas!
eu n tenho orgulho do funk carioca rsrsrsr

Por favor mais respeito com o lixo, ele pode ser reciclável, o funk não.
The "Mazurka-Choro" is the proof that "Music is common language of the humanity".
Hey man, come to Brasil hahaha
Hey man, come to Brasil hahaha{2} xD

Love the video !!!
Don't forget about Brandon Acker! :)
As a Brazilian I love all Villa lobo's pieces.
You interpreted it perfectly 👏🇧🇷
Fofo rs
"como brasileira" kkkkkkk ninguém conhece poha nenhuma disso aqui kkkkkk só quem estuda música né

I studied classical guitar in my teens and I had never heard of this composer, but once I got to the level where I could start studying his compositions, he is my favorite
Villa Lobos is an underrated compositor in Brazil. But his work is alive! Forever...
Just realized it's more than 30 years since I played those... Darn it, time flies...
Heitor Villa-Lobos is one of the most popular Brazilian composers. He was a pianist, but he knew the guitar very well. He wrote 12 Etudes for guitar and a lot of Choros and Preludes. For me, this etudes are very helpful because I can improve my technic and both hands. This is my suggestion for this video: in my opinion, Level 5 can be also Etude 3, because this etude is very good for left hand and it has a lot of legatos, and for Level 4 Etude 11. This etude is very good for practicing right hand and chords . Greetings from Serbia!
Being a Brazilian lately it's not easy, but seing someone doing this to remind us what our country has gives me chills! Thank you Lucas, from the bottom of my heart!
Lately??? Só se for por conta da porcaria musical tocada nas rádios

Really, 2022-2026 will bê worse, the shortage of food already started.
@@VitorSantos-dh1jr yeah, it began last year with people desperately assaulting markets in search of food because we've returned to the Hunger Map. Everyone said we were destinated to become a new Venezuela and in fact we are. We have people searching food in Trash cans, people looking for bones in butcher shops and etc. Hopefully 2022-2026 will be better, given our new president was the most well rated ever. Experience tells us that he can manage our country, contrasting with the disaster we've faced during 2018-2022 with this fascist scum which can't even hide when he's being Hitler's copycat.
Lucas not only inspires me, but also educates me. What more could you ask from a TH-camr?
I think this is the first time I've ever heard Lucas say something like, "I'll give it a shot..."
#respect
Villa Lobos is not only my favourite composer for guitar but also piano
I love the comedy videos, but I love this more. Beautiful pieces, played beautifully, with interesting context that will send me on a voyage of musical discovery. TH-cam at its best.
Your execution is Very, Very, veeery accurate for a stranger, a foreigner. It's so rare to finding someone who does a perfect Brazilian accent in guitar. Congrats!
Do you know Baden Powell and your son, Marcel, and Raphael Rabello, Paulinho Nogueira or Yamandú Costa? All of them are excellent composers of acoustic guitar pieces. I think that you will like, If you doesn't know them.
Hugs from Brazil!
A whole lot of years passed between my bachelors degree and my masters. As an under grad my instrument was trumpet and in grad school guitar. Richard Glenn, my instructor, turned me on to Villa-Lobos and I thank him for that. When I left school with my masters and a teaching credential the only gig I could get was both teaching and playing piano which destroyed my right hand finger nails and guitar technique. At 76 I am trying to get those nails back so I can enjoy playing again. I’m struggling with Bach and looking forward to Villa-Lobos.
Bach is unforgiving but also very rewarding!
I must say, Brazilian guitar composions are so good, love my country music style! 🇧🇷
Thanks, Lucas. I'm Brazilian and very honored by your video.
Great, Lucas. The Brazilian community is now eagerly awaiting you to play some Dilermando Reis and Garoto (Anibal Augusto Sardinha) - the real founders of Brazilian guitar.
amazing how the Brazilian music spread around the world
@@musicorum6141 it too has already been corrupted... The Brazilian funk, the sertanejo universitário and other distorted foreign music introduced here made our music a boring noise... Unfortunately.
@@musicorum6141 If you ask an ordinary young Brazilian who Heitor Villa-Lobos was, he won't know how to answer. He will say that he was a politician or general from the past. Maybe Tom Jobim is still known, but still I do not guarantee a precise answer regarding him.
I was at Villa Lobos`s house in Rio de Janeiro what emotion. Thanks Lukas!
Etude no1 is an absolute must learn for every classical guitarist. Perfect for bridging you from intermediate to a bit more advanced IMO, if you can master the piece.
I did not know this music existed! I am glad I discovered these pieces. These pieces of music just sounds so nice. Well done!
As a Brazilian, i'm so proud of your comment! Thanks!
I highly recommend other pieces from Villa-Lobos, like the concerto for Guitar, Fansasia for cello and orchestra, Quintet for Flute, Harp and String Trio, and the bachianas, but all of his worth it, he made more then 2000 pieces. And i also recommend a feel other brazillian composers, Camargo Guarnieri, Guerra Peixe, Alberto Nepomuceno and Radamés Gnattali.
It is really nice to see in these pieces how much they have influence many brazillians musicians through the years in many diferrents styles. The level 2 right hand pattern, for instance, is replicated by Kiko Loreiro in the song "Conquer or Die" by megadeth, even if only at the minor E chord.
Villa-Lobos is really at the highest level of music one can achieve.
there is a special of Villa Lobos that names Scottish Choro..very beatiful.
And one of the greatest interpreters of this composer was Julian Bream.
I'm so honored to have studied in a music school that carries his name, here in Rio de Janeiro
Lucas, your ability to play jazz, and improvise, as well as play with such feeling in (and knowledge of) classical pieces, makes your channel riveting and so inspiring for me. Huge thanks!
Humour style vids and this style of vid. This is you, champ. Well done. Amazing stuff. Keep it up. Will celebrate for you when you hit the 1 mio.
And pianist too, and some rumors said he played the viola too🙌🏽🇧🇷🎊❤️
Wow thanks Lucas, I had never heard of Heitor Villa-Lobos until now, such beautiful music. His guitar arrangements remind me of Tarrega, wondering, mysterious, slightly dark at times but with splashes of hope scattered throughout.
Try Bachianas Brasileiras 5
What's a Tarrega
Thanks
I really love when you play classical guitar...
Your serie of 5 levels of classical guitarist is gem on TH-cam, please make more of it .
1:14 Wow, I can feel that you are very good at this. That demonstration of Prelude # 1 sounds sublime. And I've listened to several other performers. It's like you get the best sound out of every note. Thanks!
How many guitarists can say with Lucas ...."when I used to be a classical guitar player ...." like saying ..."I was kicking around the summit of Everest one foggy afternoon when I decided I should probably head back down..." !!
How Brazilian, I stay very happy for you prestigie and love for my culture and music.
Really, Brazilian Music is Very good.
Very emotional.
God Bless you My friend.
For many people these educational videos are the exception for your channel. As much as I love your very skilled based comedy videos this is the kind of content I absolutely adore to watch on your channel..! Keep up the amazing work Lucas !! 😊
Edit: I'm kinda sad Etudes 9 and 11 weren't included in the video 😅
I couldn’t agree more
Very well said. 👍
Hi from Brazil, and thank you for bring us this!!!
When this gentleman says “I’ll give it a shot”, that says quite a something about the complexity of the piece.
Kudos!
Those melodies always makes me want to start learning classical guitar
Respect and love from Canada! We love your merging of classical and jazz-but we want to hear some flamenco from you, brother!
I like that in 3:16, it shows a piece of the sheet music, with the letters 'i', 'p', 'm' and 'a'. That shows it is a brazilian sheet for guitar, because those are the abbreviations for "polegar" (thumb), "indicador" (index), "médio" (middle) and "anelar" (ring finger).
I actually graduated (although in the most basic level) at Villa Lobos Music School in Rio de Janeiro. Not the most well-known music school in the world, but it was a happy time. I remember playing Djavan (very famous MPB composer) at Guerra Peixe Room in my graduation exam. Cheers from Brazil.
These legitimately are some of the most dynamic pieces ever. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to this music early in my life. Villa-Lobos was the first guitar composer to ever make me want to actually dance. It was Prelude no. 5 that did it. Haha
Love this!! Such fantastic playing too!
You have a new subscriber for sure
Nice to see our music gets the recognition it deserves somewhere. Most Brazilians don't know how rich our music used to be back then
Makes you wonder why not now!
Thank you for representing us 🇧🇷!
We are proud of our music and culture too!
Thank you Lucas 🎉
Man, we need to see the full pieces! Awesome job showcasing Villa-Lobos masterful repertoire. You should do more of these: presenting other incredible classical guitar composers such as Brouwer, Dyens, Ponce, Sor, Barrios Mangoré, Llobet, Dowland...
He already did Barrios
Great book. Great composer and a wonderful person.
It's sad that most Brazilians don't know about our Brazilian classicals. I discovered Brazilian classical only after I left Brazil and took piano lessons in Canada.
Thank you Lucas. God bless you.
Oh man, I get emotional, I am very grateful to you for showing the greatness of our Brazilian music, not many people know Villa Lobos or Chiquinha Gonzaga, thank you very much Lucas! Bring for us O Guarani from Villa Lobos!
O Guarani is an opera composed by the great Carlos Gomes (another Brazilian ostracized by the anglocentrism) based on the book with the same name from the literature titan José de Alencar.
I m Brazilian, só proud of It because Villa lobos.
This harmonies are so great and warm , ty and villa lobos ! So calm music ! This world need to listen this !
Turibio Santos - that's who to listen to for the most virtuoso renderings of Villa Lobos (of course there are others - John Williams nails the 5 preludes too). And yes Marcin Dylla is musical in his interpretation, so sensitively.
Lovely post.
As usual, another fantastic very informative video. I love Villa-Lobos and I truly believe that he would have loved your performances of his music.
Hey Lucas, I can assure you that all "5 levels of" video inspire to learn more about classical guitar. I absolutely love all the classical stuff you do, it's beautiful!
I have heard Pepe Romero about a half-dozen times when he toured the West Coast of the United States. He used to play in Bellingham, WA every year in the '90's. He played a lot of Villa-Lobos. Wonderful stuff! :)
Impressive and high quality interpretation. Heitor aka Villa-Lobos was a massive composer and classical guitar player. The Brazilian school of guitar players is plentiful of masterpieces like that. Many thanks lad for this beautiful presentation!
Saudações do Brasil! Vila Lobos de fato é um ícone.
Thank you for mentioning Villa-Lobos. Amazing music
Best part of all this. I can find it being played everywhere here by talented musicians. its beautiful
Crazy about you Lucas, please more of this
tbh, i got inspired to play guitar listening to my favorite bands like angra or megadeth for example but after seeing this recommended video on youtube homepage
this specific video inspired me to study hard to play with the same mastery as you
thank you, you opened my head to other horizons!
Dylla is great guitarist coming from Poland, have seen many recordings with him. Real Virtuoso 👍
I love Villa-Lobos composing style. it is so characteristic, he sings through every guitar that plays his work
I couldn’t agree more about Villa Lobos and the lasting legacy he gifted to the Classical guitar repertoire. He wasn’t just a prodigious composer, he simply composed the best guitar music of the 20th century. It was fresh and original, having a distinctive Brazilian character. The Spanish and Mexican composers of the same time period who wrote for the guitar pale in comparison to Villa Lobos. The Choros no. 1 was an encore favorite of Julian Bream who played it with a flair and panache that delighted audiences everywhere.
Villa-Lobos makes us very proud for sure. This was a great homage, thank you! 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
You actually inspired me to seach more about Villa Lobos, thanks!
Brazil loves you, my friend
Much love, man! Love always! Thank you, you made my day!
I love Villa-Lobos. I'm going over Valse Choro this semester, such a beautiful piece!
You’re an insanely amazing guitarist and the embodiment of Jazz music and history. Your talent will take you far, I’m sure of it! Thanks for sharing!
Even if I enjoy your more funny videos I was missing one of this composer / guitarist dedicated ones, Very good video
Excellent vid. I’m self taught guitar lover in love with Villa Lobos and bossa nova since young. Even if I cannot play correctly, I can still learn a great deal. I keep practicing the 1st Etude, and I m working on 11, 8 and eventually I will get to 12. We’ll see from there.
I started with blues and rock, and I am learning a bit of jazz which connects nicely with the Brazilian guitar apparently. It’s fun and fascinating and frustrating. But I love the challenge.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video, i'm brazillian myself and what made me start to learn the classical guitar was a Villa Lobos presentation I saw when I was at highschool, where the guy played the 5 preludes and explained the influences villa lobos had when composing them.
I highly reccomend checking out the Sergio and Odair Assad interpretations of his works
Bro, thank you. As a Brazilian I feel honored that a little bit of our culture (true culture) is being shared to the world by such an amazing musician like you.
A swedish Stanley Kubrick talking in english about brazilian music, wow. Greetings from Brazil!
Lucas- Thank you, that was truly outstanding. A beautiful tribute to a giant of the classical guitar…
It's nice to see that you actually have a serious side! I first watched your "when a classical guitarist discovers the blues" video, and got a good laugh from it.
Villa lobos have something very metal in his guitars compositions. Thank you.
This brings tears to my eyes, it is simply beautiful. Cheers from Brazil, mate.
Whatching you play the piece i most loved to play on the guitar made me want to pick up my guitar again. Thank you
More of this content please! I know its not the most viral type of stuff but this was beautiful and illustrative.
Fantastic - astonishingly beautiful playing and very nicely presented - thank you
I suspect Lucas has so many subscribers partly because of his humor and his lampoons of simplistic popular music. However, as we can see (and hear) in this and in the other videos in which he discusses the great classical guitar composers (and in various other videos in which he plays seriously -- whether jazz or classical -- he is a superb classical guitarist, with fantastic tone and technique. This is only achieved by a few, and only after many years of dedicated study. I would love to hear him play seriously more often ... perhaps some concerts in which he can really show us what he can do... Perhaps not all of his subscribers would follow him down this path, but I suspect many of us would.
Villa Lobos....one of the main reasons a I love to play classical guitar.
No amigo, no era hacer llorar, bailar, cantar y besar la guitarra. Solo era tocarla.
Me encantó el vídeo, y eres demasiado bueno. Yo que soy principiante en la guitarra. Solo me queda la admiración y el trabajo duro de practicar la guitarra que has hecho. Saludos desde Guatemala! 🇬🇹🇬🇹
Wow, I've never heard about the mazurka piece by Villa-Lobos. Your interpretation is wonderful indeed... And yes, it sounds like Villa-Lobos and Chopin had a nice cup cafe and enjoyed composing together for a while.
Wonderful video!!! Subscribed!!!
Obrigado ;)
Broooo you really nailed it every piece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's so nice to know that Villa Lobos' work is known outside Brazil, he's a true genius!
I play also some of these pieces and I never get sick of it, they are so fun, challenging and beautiful at the same time
Woww! GOAT Villa-Lobos! Hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hey Lucas, thank you for showcasing Villa-Lobos with such beauty.
I would love it if you could showcase Yamandu Costa next.
Much love from Brazil. 🇧🇷🔴
You’re amazing young man
One of my faves. Villa-lobos killed it.
My guy thank you for sharing so much knowledge. Youre a magician.
Thank you very much! Greetigs from São Paulo, Brazil!!!
Thank you sooo much for introducing me to this absolutely wonderful music, I literally cried when you played Prelude No. 1, this is so incredibly beautiful!! This motivated me to try playing classical guitar
Such a great player as always. Love your content from Colombia !
