Andres Segovia Style Vibrato and Glissando

       Andres Segovia Style Vibrato and Glissando

Hello my guitar friends !

Seeing and listening to Andres Segovia in concert
 was a wonderful experience for me.


as usual nothing is comparable to listening to the recordings
 of Segovia and its videos from concerts


 I have been studying Segovia's technique for years 

and this has helped me to develop my way of playing classical guitar.






Andres Segovia eight style essential elements :


1 ) A horizontal aproach to fingering

the name is appropriate because what result is a tendency toward movement
up and down to use higher position


2)  Segovia Vibrato

tonal oscillation above and below a mean pitch that imparts vitality


3) Segovia  Rubato 

this term is ( as always in music ) an italian words and in music is 
when some notes robbing time from the rhythmic pulse .

there are two ways to play Rubato :

as you can read at my free guitar website at the page "Segovia Style" :

4 )  Segovia Glissando ( slide from one note to another )

but while " Portamento " make no sound 

with Glissando you make hear every single notes 



5) Slurs 

 Segovia use slurs ( in italian " Legato " ) 

use hammer on and pull off but also 
as " legato di suono " 

 ( sorry there are many italians words
in classical music , not only Allegro and Andante , because
Italian Language was consider the best around 1600 and 1700
seventeenth century )


6 ) a full round sound with plenty of variety

the famous Segovia sound 
with the use of fingernails
the use of rest stroke and free stroke 


7 ) fantastic Segovia rolled chords 

as you can read at my website :

Right hand technique by Daniele Magli



8 ) individual interpretations



Now I want to share with you the best videos
 I found on YouTube - some are taken from my page on YouTube:


Daniele Magli YouTube page



This is a wonderful opportunity to see 
the fantastic technique of Segovia on the classical guitar 
that he played as the greatest master in history.



I hope you enjoy ! 

Thanks
