Hello everyone, today I´m bringing this very famous and beautiful piece by Francisco Tarrega, it is called "Capricho Arabe", and I will show it in three lessons.
Being some of the most famous piece of romantic guitar I had the dilema of how to make the score, the gpro file and the bt. So I decided to make them as raw as possible so you can get a firm grasp over the fundamentals technical aspects of this piece before venturing into your own interpretation. There are a lot of things that aren't written, or that have been written by approximation and as you will hear on the vids, some parts are played almost add libitum.
For the edition I took Isaias Savio edition and also some unknow edition that has a lot of glissandos (the notes are always the same) and then I made the present fingerings.Please be sure to check the spoken vid for some tips on how I like to interpret this piece.
Hope you like it.From this course:
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
