It's one of the most understated, yet accessible, forms of guitar, so many people miss out because they misunderstand the simple beauty of the guitar from Spain, which just happened to be invented there, so figures they may know a thing or two. Beautiful lesson exquisitely presented, thanks so much for your generosity in sharing!
Hey man I’ve been watching your videos for years now and you’ve helped me improve my guitar rapidly, it’s helped me understand how to put chords and melodies together over time and practice and I couldn’t thank you more
@@MarcoCirillo Would you please break down Piero Umiliani's Crepuscolo Sul Mare. It is a beautiful song but everyone else just wants to show off that they can play it but not help others learn how. I enjoy the way you break things down and help people enjoy their instrument more. Thank you for the time that you put in for us.
I wanted to say Marco, this lesson is priceless, and then I thought, this lesson is surely the key to me unlocking several Spanish techniques and moving on from the doldrums. It’s gold dust. Thank you for giving your time free.
I was in the country side of Cataluna this summer, with family and friends. A lovely place with cypres, pins and olive trees. Wanted to relax, far away from work, screens and city. I didn’t take any guitare with me. At some stage i finally checked my phone and saw this new video. It was a sign : i realised that i needed quickly to find a guitare. I took my car and drove to the only guitar shop I found. I bought a lovely Admira classical Guitar. Every night, i was playing passionately spanish guitar based on your lesson. Loved the vibes in this fabulous area of spain. My son and daughter were listening, and they now both want to learn guitar. Who knows, maybe next year i’ll have a fabulous rumba catalana trio to play with ;) Once again Marco, thank you so much for all the inspiration you create !
Best lesson for Spanish guitar! Fantastic! I always wanted to play so, but it was only "Don't let me be misunderstood" and "Concierto por Aranjuez", Part1. But this is so great! Perfect teaching and Tabs.Thank you, Marco!
Instant subscriber! That was brilliant, I love playing classical (just starting at 68 yo) and bites of theory like this really help. Thanks a lot Marco!
It's so beautifully explained... also why do I always feel like picking up my guitar and playing everything you play after watching these amazing videos... you sure have made my playing so much more melodic and interesting. Thank you so Much Marco.
I love this. I've not been playing that long but even I can make this sound like I know what I'm doing - especially the version where you pedal the e. What's nice is that even I can mess around with it. Instead of 5, 4, 3, 2 with 1 in between. You can do 5, 2, 3, 4 or 5, 2, 2, 2 or anything else and it just changes the melody to add some variation.
Love your lessons. They help me alot. I'm Scottish and at 8:27 when you say "alot of character" I was like hey how come he sounded like he had the same accent as me there? Haha. Have an amazing day.
Marco, another fantastic lesson my man! I really enjoy taking these lessons in and applying them! At some point in the next few months I’d like to send you something of my own to critique if you dig it…thanks for everything you do here!
Great video! Finally gave me good motivation to pull my classical guitar off the wall and dust it off. With just this lesson I was able to sound pretty good.
I discovered your videos recently, Marco. Just now this one. Up to now I could just say I like spanish guitar - now I have a starter plan. Great! (I'm sort of advanced beginner). BIG thank you for that and other stuff. Your videos are always very detailed explaining and helpful.
Fascinating how your playing remind me some surfrock classic, like the solo of Pipeline, or Walk don't run that share the andalusian cadence. Before my grand father die, 1 month ago, i use to play these two surf classic, and it always remind him some old souvenir of the 60's. Now these surf classic just dont sound the same. My grand father was a country guitar player, and i have
A video of him playing the Malaguena. A simple, but soulful version of it. Supprising for a folk/country style guitar player. Good music just dont have border.
at time 01:18, there's a common mistake. It's actually not i, vii, vi, v(maj). The real progression is moving towards resolution on the i, which is the E major. Phrygian dominant mode of the harmonic minor scale. So it's iv, iii, ii, i.
@@misterd.2250 1. it's not complicated, at all. it's merely a way of describing what's going on. 2. it DOES matter, and not applying it will hinder your abilities as a musician. Music theory CAN get complicated, but what we're talking about here really is the most basic, most essential stuff there is.
@@rickf6375 to each his own, I completely understand what he’s saying here but this isn’t a comment discussing the actual sound(distance of intervals). It’s a comment trying to figure out a way to write out this sequence with a different perceived tonic, which is a irrelevant and a complete headache. However knowing the Roman numerals, minor/major, and notes in a scale are useful so agree with you there.
Thanks for the video I have studied the harmonic miner for years and to spite all my knowledge I still learn new study techniques watching your video. I shall subscribe 😊
such a synchronicity... damn! You are really the best!!!! Please do something with harmonics when you can (even with the uke). Thank you so much always forever!!!!
Will you post some of you just tearing into it? Take what you are teaching here, and lay it all out where you have gone with it. Thank you. You’ve got some talent, bubba.
Love your videos Marco, me as someone who just played some chords at the campfire loves here these little bits of pieces that really sound great. I just dont know really where to start. I hear some people say start by just learning some songs more. I am missing a bit of structure there. I started your free e book but not sure if that is the right thing to learn. The excersices are awsome just dont know if i can do them i can play afterwards pieces easier or even make up my own like this spanish stuff that sounds awsome
You think you suck, but to most people who have never picked up an instrument in their lives, you are god. One hour a day practicing your scales and 30 mins music theory and in 1 year you will look back and think, wow! Namaste x
I could listen to Marco play all day long. It's just beautiful. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to play so time to stop listening and actually pick up the guitar! 😁😁🥰🥰

Because of people like you I am still playing my guitar. You are so inspiring.
This guy can play anything. Every time I watch one of his videos my jaw drops. Keep it up Marco!

I love the lessons with levels. It's such a great way to present the material.
Love your lessons. They help me alot.

E phryigian dominant scale, derived from the A Harmonic Minor 👌

How can someone dislike this lesson? It's absolutely enlightening. Those, who dislike this video haven't done their homework properly.
i disliked
@@ecr07 why? I guess you haven't done your homework
@@hermanneswein2288 i didnt get any homework
I disliked the video because of your comment
I disliked your comment, but not the video
This was a super fun compact lesson/ video, lots to try and play around with; a whole kit! Thanks a bunch!
C'est vraiment extraordinaire tes qualités d'enseignement. Merci beaucoup!
I try to learn basic Spanish style but this VDO can teach me, thanks.
Hi Marco, your style of teatching and playing is truly inspiring.
The sound is just magnificent
After spending time on your Uke channel, it dawned that you may also be an excellent guitar teacher. I love it when I'm right !!!
Finally marco on spanish guitar

Hey that was super cool. Spanish guitar seems so esoteric. Your explanation is very clear and makes it more accessible!
Learn the Phrygian scale.
@@mojooftheg5961 Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely look into that. :)
Unreal, no words can describe my love for this man.
The sound from this guitar is so true. Cheers
You are fantastic Marco . Many thanks for what you give to us , inspiring exercises that are so much fun . 👏👍

love it - if you like please do more in this style - its so awesome =)
I have been looking for a video to help me with Spanish style...
Thank you so much...
I will practice until I get it right 🥰
I just bought a Cordoba guitar made for the Gypsy Kings. What great timing to find this lesson. Great teacher!

Dude all that complicated theory doesn’t really matter
@@misterd.2250 1. it's not complicated, at all. it's merely a way of describing what's going on. 2. it DOES matter, and not applying it will hinder your abilities as a musician.
Music theory CAN get complicated, but what we're talking about here really is the most basic, most essential stuff there is.
I mostly agree and yet it's not so much a mistake as it is merely a different way of expressing the same thing, albeit less clear/common.

Just beautiful. So motivating.
Thats an amazing sounding guitar great sustain.
I have a Japanese period Alvarez I need to get the plastic nut replaced.
Great teaching.

Bravo Marco! Magnifico! I learned something kool. I put it in my classical guitar practice routine. Thanks a lot my brother. Keep Rockn!
In fact, I learned many things from you that I enjoy playing so far
Thank you
Really nice sound; never knew ("Spanish") was the sound I was after on acoustic guitar. Thanks for posting this.
Very enlightening, thank you, learn every time I watch one of your videos👏🌻
You are an excellent and specific instructor. Thank you, Bart
Merci beaucoup, vous êtes un excellent guitariste, j'ai beaucoup appris grâce à vous 👍🙌
Marco you are great! This video is so well structured and it's so cool and engaging!
This is the first time I've seen you. I have to say I'm very impressed on your lesson.
Thank u for having tabs
Pretty guitars. Thanks for your help on so many of your videos
Marco, great lesson... Thank you

Really nice arpeggios Marco ---thankyou !
Excellent video. Beautiful music and lots of fun. Thanks.
Awesome lesson and thank you for sharing the Spanish guitar 👍👍💚💚
You have a very nice sound there....thankyou, regards from England uk
One of your best videos! Can't wait to get my guitar and humiliate myself!
Enjoy :)
Please don't do it alone though, let me watch. Just joking my friend, I'm sure you'll play brilliantly.
Thanks Marco👍👍👍
Great lesson and ideas, thanks a lot, you should make more in this Spanish style, I love it :D
such a synchronicity... damn! You are really the best!!!! Please do something with harmonics when you can (even with the uke). Thank you so much always forever!!!!
Thanks a lot. I will try.
Thank you for the great lesson!

Thank you for sharing these extremely helpful tips with us
You know what… I like this guy!
I wish you were my neighbor!! 😆 thank you for all the help with my Spanish guitar playing
Awesome.
Thanks Marco.
Beautiful sound.
I love this! Thanks! Could you please give us a few tips on how to play that F-chord? It is so difficult...
great musical ideas thank you..

kudos, will recommend 👏 👌
Thanks brother! Great video
I played Hotel California, but the one by Gipsy Kings and everyone thought I was a pro. I really suck actually.
You think you suck, but to most people who have never picked up an instrument in their lives, you are god. One hour a day practicing your scales and 30 mins music theory and in 1 year you will look back and think, wow! Namaste x
i cant wait to get into this practice... :)
Enjoy :)
Fantastic! But that 5 was never an Em..it's always been an Emajor..
Marco, thank you !
Your playing is beautiful!!
thank you amigo!
Thanks
great video saludos desde argentina dude!
You are so inventive and engaging.
Cool channel, great ideas.
When showing the left hand, having the camera across the soundhole + higher + looking down would be even betta! ;-D
Love it
Thank you Maestro
Paco de lucia reinvented The andalusian Cadence. Now we play substitutes, secondary dominants, all thanks to Paco.. 😊
True.
Love your stuff! Thanks!
Hey! Can you make a video on how to keep appropriate nails for fingerstyle? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for making videos, you have some great ideas.
I like this video the best out of the spanish style the best, but what makes it hard is that everyone on youtube are using the same chords
Beautiful playing man !!!
I could listen to Marco play all day long. It's just beautiful. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to play so time to stop listening and actually pick up the guitar! 😁😁🥰🥰
Thank you...for the inspiration 😀👍🏿
Hey, I have the same exact guitar as yours! It's a very rare brand and I've never seen anyone with the same guitar as mine.
I can listen to you play this shit all fucking day
Are you in the United States?? You’re so freaking inspirational & so amazing…thank you!!!!
I believe Italy.
scale juggling , beautifull ;-)
Very nice lesson
*_Even more dynamic if you bring Hotel California in._*
