  • Maybe add a seventh one? A bit more surprising regarding chords.
    I love your work and I'm curious to hear what you would do with this  
    one: Blue Sky, Grey Clouds comp. Noud Koevoets (on YouTube)

  • Beatrix, do you have any more intermediate suggestions? I love many that you have suggested and get sick of playing all the old farts!

  • I don't know any of these pieces but none of them seem scary to learn, so I think I must be approaching intermediates' level. Progress feels good.

  • Caprichio Arabe was not a wise choice because masterpieces contrast against contemporary pieces expose trivia by comparison .
    Not that the composition is necessarily naive .Thanks for the intros tho

  • Hello Beatrix,

    as an intermediate guitar player with 10 years on and off the guitar (typical self learner mistake) I should give you the folk style pieces that were so hard for me, I ended up buying Martha Masters "The total classical guitarist" and Patrick Steinbach – "Irish Guitar Workshop" to start learning reading notes without Tabs.

    – piece 1: Davy Graham – Angi (sometimes spelled Anji)
    – piece 2: Nick Drake – Day is done

    The album "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake introduced me to cgcfce tuning and other beautiful stuff. (Check out the Nick Drake Tabs by Chris Healey. I envy you, Beatrix, as a grandmaster guitarist you should have no problem to even play songs from the "Bryter Layter" album).

    My journey continues through Andi Saitenhieb acoustic blues guitar learning material. I even bought "Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory – a complete self-study course for all musicians". I also rely on the website "classical guitar shed' by Allan Mathews, also a classical guitar youtuber. I bet you know the name by passing. Right now, I take it slowly, learning "Canon in D" and "Gymnopedie no 1". I stumbled upon your channel, because I always look out for practise tips and new beginner/ intermediate pieces to learn in the years to come. Also, as a german born guitarist it is wild, that the international note B is spelled as an H in Germany, meaning a B-flat is a B in Germany, took me years to clear the confusion, because all german language training material differs from the english speaking world 😀

    Why am I writing this? a) To give you, the teacher, an insight what the journey of a self learner can look like before finally finding the classical way (the Martha Masters introduction chapter changed my life, lol). b) I will use your guitar pieces that you upload on youtube as ear training. Usually I record myself or listen to records, but this is very welcomed addition for my training sessions.

    PS. If you want to have a lot of fun, please analyse all the Nick Drake tunings in detail. And also play some Final Fantasy music. Nobuo Uematsu has written some lovely stuff, also good for beginners and intermediate, I guess.

    Have a wonderful week!

  • Great video! I've been playing for 10+ years and all of this was new to me. I'll definitely give almost all of them a go!

  • I've just now at age 35 started learning guitar.. I'm brand new but classical is what I started with lol.. it's intimidating but you make it seem attainable.. I enjoy your playing.. thanks for the videos

  • really good pieces . I like very much the piece od Eduardo Diaz . Have you heard something of Eduardo martin in an easy and intermediate level ? . For me is one of the first options

    Reply
  • Thank you so much for this video! I love pieces that make the guitar just sound "full" or "rich" and a bit melancholic at best – your choice of songs quite literally resonates therewith :3
    Might I ask the names of the songs played in the background while you talk? I recognised Lagrima and Mazurka, what are the others?

    My suggestion is "Rain" by Morscheck and Burgmann. It's a piece written for two guitars but works solo as well! As to the why: relatively easy to play (the chord hand seems to naturally dance over the fret board) whilst the harmony manages to capture the partly cozy, partly forlorn mood of a rainy day.
    Back when I used to take classical guitar lessons as a teenager, our teacher had us perform this on stage, the first piece I really LIKED to 😀 It remained one of my favorites untill today, a perfect one for when someone hands you a guitar to "play something"

  • Thanks for the intro to these pieces—I’m always looking for appealing material at this level and want to learn a couple of the ones you present. Wonderful video,

  • I don't know why, it's not really similar, but whenever I hear The Sheep on The Mountain I tend to think of Howl's Moving Castle.

  • Hi Beatrix. They are such beautiful pieces. Thanks for your recommendation. I love your playing. And could you please let me know what guitar in this video did you use?

    Reply
  • I really like the thought and passion you put into your videos. If you have the time, could you given a listen to "Zweiter Fruhling" by Carsten Meyer? Cheers!

  • I like some of these pieces very much, and your performances of all of them. I would like to learn some of them, but when I followed the links and tried to order the first, third, and sixth, there was either no way to actually order or the order process hung up before I could submit it. Could you tell me some way to get the scores?

  • Love these! A little more advanced intermediate piece but julia florida by barrios is really beautiful. Also highly recommend suite del recuerdo by merlin

    Reply
  • Beautiful playing. Do you think "Huelgoat" would be too difficult for an intermediate player? I heard this played the first time by French guitarist, Fred Mesnier.

    Reply
  • hello Beatrix,
    I discovered a piece, it' s called"Illyrian Lullaby" by John Addison. IT so beautiful. Is IT possible for you, to make a Video with this piece and to explain about emphasis !

  • More than "songs" it seems to me that they are a sort of digitation excercises bou they are cute. Thank you

  • – The Ballads 1. Allegretto
