wonderful, Tal! 👏👏 it's always inspiring to hear you talking about music and performance. I've learned so much from you on the online lessons I had and would like to recommend to anyone reading this post to enroll in lessons with Tal. he's a wonderful artist AND pedagogue!
"The feeling of the perfect cadence is the place where one meets God" ... "Barrios reminds us how mortal we are" What a wonderful way to describe what Barrios' music inspires in whoever listens to him. I enjoyed very much the excerpts of "La Catedral", thank you Mr. Hurwitz, I admire your knowledge and your art.
I just worked this whole piece back up not having played it in a long time. I have BA performance degree and played it on my junior recital 1994. I really connected with what you were saying about the harmonies in the prelude. It came back to me pretty quick, but I'm still polishing it. I do approach the whole piece with more reverence now. Wonderful lecture. Barrios was a Genius.
Thank you for the highly inspirational and informative talk about the piece and amazing playing! One then listens with much more active ears to a piece we guitarrists heard 30000 times in many different ways. Looking forward for the other two movements!
I just learned more from you in nine minutes than what other teachers could barely hope to offer in nine years. Thank you for your depth of insight and incredible guitar playing as well.
I'm trying to play this wonderful piece and I've been troubled with the chords. I've watched your video over and over and got lots of information that will help me a lot. Thanks for helping everyone. I became your fan and wherever you go I'll be there. You're an awesome role model. God bless you!
Muchas gracias por la clase, muy comprensible la dicción en inglés!!! Excelentes estrategias de trabajo 👌 Sí me lo permites, en la cadencia de armónicos haz tu ataque de mano derecha gradualmente hacia el puente para más definición del sonido.
So glad to see you again Tal ! And I agree with Miguel,Besnos : Not only one of the most huge guitarist in the world, you're also a great teacher and ... yes of course, I recommend online lessons with you ;-) I totally use today what you learned to me during the few lessons I had with you and I always ask myself "what Tal would say ?" I hope you're fine. Thomas from France.
@@talhurwitz ok thanks Tal, I’ve often wondered why that to protect the guitar might be the reason. I’ve seen Pepe Romero practice with his guitar draped with a towel I wondered if it helped support the guitar in some way, but i presume the main reason is to protect the guitar from sweat as well.
The prerequisites for being a great musician are having a high IQ and a musical gift. If you don't have these things, don't waste your time dreaming, because you will never get there.
Well, I explain it in the lesson. The reason is that the notes that are usually being played with the thump on the 4th string, are not the actual bass notes of the chords in the first couple bars. The bass note is actually the open 2nd string (lowest note of the bar). So by not playing with the thumb, I try to avoid an unwanted accent.
So calmed and powerful at the same time.

Dear Miguel, thank you so much your words mean a lot to me. It was a true pleasure working with someone so talented as yourself!

Happy to hear that. Barrios is indeed a genius!

Absolutely my pleasure, I’m glad you found it inspiring! The 3rd mov is already on my TH-cam page, 2nd coming soon.

Hello Kwan Yuet Hui, In this video I use Savarez strings. Trebles new christal and Bass: new Cantiga high tension
When he explained the quote that was nothing but the truth

Why do people place a piece of cloth/towel behind the guitar, I see this a lot ?
Hello Chris, the reason is to protect the wood from sweat. Also, I find it more pleasant.

Absolute bullshit statement simply not true
Why aren’t you playing the passage in the beginning of the piece with thumb? Jut curious
