I am partially blind ( classical guitar technique )

Hello my dear friends !

As well as the stones knows , yes, I am partially blind.

I was not lucky when I was ten years old.
simply this: bad luck.

So now I'm a real Pirates des Caraibes   : )



                                              Magli plays Caravels Dream





Now, what has this to do with the classical guitar technique ?
Nothing. I assure you nothing.

So please do not continue to write me emails asking how my partial blindness
 may have helped the development of my musical memory or guitar technique !

Musical memory and technique is developed by constant study.
You memorize and learn by heart a musical beat
then two, then one page, then three pages ...
Rome was not built in a day!

Music talent is important and
 I thank God every day of the talent that He has given to me.

But talent dies without the practice.
Be patient but strict with yourself.

                                                 
                                                 MAYBE composed and played by Magli :






                                                 

Sacrifice , yes, this is important… and passion too.


Do not give to live the wonderful experience of life,
 but organize your time with discipline,
 and one day you will be guitarists!

When I was 14 I gave up television up to 22 years just because 
the study at the conservatory took hours and concentration. 
Nine years without television.

There was not Internet ...

 Now I always play in front of the television, but now
 I am an experienced great guitarist
and let me joke
I could play with my eyes closed. : )

You do not have an hour or half an hour a day to play classical guitar
You'll never be a great guitarist because the classical guitar requires training
Segovia scales, arpeggios and
the Daniele Magli compositions :

All free pdf scores and tabs about my music at this link of my guitar website :

Daniele Magli PDF and guitar TABS


As a beginner can get started?

With the methods by Carulli and Sagreras,

With my compositions as Twilight ( here the link )

Twilight - Guitar Tabs


With the Mauro Giuliani 120 arpeggios,

With my compositions Twilight or Angels or Soul Wind.





The setting of your hands is important, much more important 
than being a pirate like me!

Please visit my website for right hand and left hand techniques...

So remember: your heart is Important but nobody
 will not feels that you play your guitar with your heart 
if you have not trained your hands well.

Ciao visit my free guitar website for more about left hand , right hand and tremolo :

Werner Herzog the Classical Guitar and Daniele Magli

Update 2019: I'm always a big fan of the wonderful Herzog films. I am now a composer guitarist and I don't have much time to follow the events on the internet but I am always very grateful to youtube for giving me the opportunity to let me know as a musician...




Under my video "Eclipse" I find this comment from a kind youtube friend :



"I am so very confused to why your videos don't have many views....
I play classical guitar myself, no where near as good as you but my theory on why you don't have as many views as Luccorelli and G.A.Clark, is probably because you don't compose nearly as much.... Or at least I'm guessing. But you have the potential, and I think you should do so, and get your music out there!"


I would like to thank this friend who cares so kind of why I do not do a lot of views on youtube like other classical guitarists.

and i think about my favorite film director of all the times : Werner Herzog.

once one of his films was much criticized by the public that whistled and he stood up and said: "you're all wrong !"

I think that art can not always be popular and if it is too much popular... it is not art.

but perhaps these guitarists are better than me, I do not know, I've never heard their names before

as Werner Herzog said : That man is a head taller than me. That may change.

but maybe too tall for me are these guitarists :


Andres Segovia ( so many great videos at my YouTube page )

and John Williams


they are great artist of classical guitar…
 real classical guitarist with a real classical guitar technique !

I  have only more then a million views to my videos and thousands of subscribers to my page...
but they are not few because they are experts in classical guitar and not confuse it with the folk guitar.

So... if you subscribe to my youtube channel

Do not expect from me executions of pieces of music that I do not believe, just to increase my views. I play a piece just if i love it.

Do not expect from me songs arranged by someone other than Takemitsu or Angelo Gilardino.
Arranged from great musicians and great composers...
if Angelo Gilardino will arrange a song by The Beatles maybe I will execute this piece.
Just because a great composer can make a great arrangement.


Do not expect from me a tremolo for every famous piece. For example
Spanish Romance
it is not a tremolo. 
I'll never play Jeux Interdits - Spanish Romance as a tremolo because it is bad music.

Do not expect from me that I play with a big echo effect. I hate echo effects if it is too much  because it hides errors and it is a bad sound for a classical guitarist.

expect me to just Daniele Magli and subscibe to 
my 

Daniele Magli YouTube page


Thank you very much !

Studi di Fantascienza per Chitarra Classica

 Studi di Fantascienza per chitarra classica by Daniele Magli


Oggi ho fatto in venti minuti tre nuovi video di chitarra classica , tutti rigorosamente "buona la prima", tenendo gli errorini, i micro errori, senza editing e trucchi vari in modo da aumentare al massimo l'effetto live e l'effetto onestà : questo è il chitarrista Daniele Magli senza trucchi e senza inganni , senza dubbio un grande chitarrista ( modestia a parte :) )

L'ho già detto tante volte, che senso ha ingannare se stessi pubblicando su YouTube video falsi
pieni di editing e montati in varie sequenze ?

mah... non capisco !

Comunque tre video in venti minuti e nuovo record personale stabilito

ecco la mia pagina di youtube dove potrete ascoltare i miei nuovi video :

https://www.youtube.com/user/danielmagli


e sul mio sito dedicato alla chitarra classica e alla tecnica di Andres Segovia :

http://www.classicalguitarvideo.com/


Si tratta di Romance de los Pinos ( Montemayor ) di Federico Moreno-Torroba

suonata tenendo conto dello stile di Segovia a me tanto caro

 e al quale ho dedicato una pagina del mio sito , Segovia Style :  http://www.classicalguitarvideo.com/teachpag/segoviastyle.html



Julia Florida di Agustin Barrios detto Mangoré , artista che amo

ma che soffro un po' nel senso che non mi è molto congeniale tecnicamente al contrario

 di Villa -Lobos e Tarrega per esempio che si sposano alla perfezione con le

caratteristiche delle mie mani e della mia tecnica chitarristica.

Con Julia Florida ho dato una buona interpretazione

smentendo in parte questo pregiudizio che ho di me stesso.




Il terzo video è  Solaris una mia nuova composizione per la raccolta

 SCI-FI STUDIES for classical guitar,

studi di fantascienza per chitarra classica.

Gli Studi di Fantascienza per chitarra classica

tutti dedicati ai film di fantascienza che per un qualche motivo

 mi hanno ispirato a comporre.

Si intitola Solaris ed è dedicato alla versione del 1972 di Solaris che

 da bambino mi faceva una paura tremenda quando lo facevano in televisione.

è un pezzo composto con la Alzapua technique,

la tecnica flamenco del pollice a pletro.

avevo già composto uno dei miei Lunar studies dedicati

alla missione Apollo, con questa tecnica.

Ma quanti sono oggi i miei  Sci-fi studies ?  vediamo…



SCi-Fi Studies by Daniele Magli for classical guitar :


Lost in Space

Serenity

Sunshine

Blue Galaxy

The Time Machine

Parallel Universe

Tears in the Rain

Solaris

Outland  

Interstellar  


( aggiornamento 2018 : 

oggi ho finalmente registrato il video di INTERSTELLAR

il più " facile " dei miei primi 10 studi di fantascienza  

che oggi sono tutti su YouTube )




vi ricordo che tutti gli spartiti in formato  PDF delle mie composizioni

per chitarra classica li trovate gratuitamente da scaricare nel mio sito.

http://www.classicalguitarvideo.com/teachpag/danielemaglimusic.html


Vi lascio con la mia interpretazione di SOLARIS

e vi faccio (senza falsa modestia) notare anche la mia interpretazione da attore,

 nel senso che interpreto un po' il classico cattivo da film di fantascienza,

 un robot ribelle dal Mondo dei Robot

                                                       SOLARIS by Daniele Magli







Ciao e grazie a tutti per i video che farete con le mie composizioni !


                                             Parallel Universe by Magli ( live from YouTube )

Guitar Tremolo or Travel to Mars ?


Hello my guitar friends !


For many guitarists

learn the classical guitar tremolo seems to be difficult as a space travel to Mars.
But the tremolo technique is much easier than a cosmic journey !

And we are goin to Mars now !


first of all, and this advice is valid for everything you are considering:

live as if you were to die tomorrow
but studying classical guitar as if you were immortal

this is my great phrase, a great aphorism, I know, and
I have always done so.

the tremolo is easy if you study the 120 Arpeggios by Mauro Giuliani
and then these my compositions for the right hand technique:

1) Twilight

2) Soul Wind

3) Angels

4) Armstrong Moon

5) Serenity

6) Eclipse

7) Apollo 11

8) Astronaut Dance   ( for younger guitarist ! )


these pieces will make your perfect technique and your right hand a precision machine!

all the guitar TABS about my compositions at :

https://danielemagli.blogspot.com/2018/12/daniele-magli-all-guitar-tabs.html


all the free PDF scores about my guitar music at :

https://danielemagli.blogspot.com/2016/12/daniele-magli-music-free-pdf-scores.html




Tremolo guitar technique takes a year of trials constant, 15 minutes a day at least.
...do not cheat yourself, take up your clock, 15 minutes of "Sea of tranquility" , every day.


then you can play the most beautiful piece of easy tremolo ever made

Sea of Tranquility ... composed by me.

but... there is a but !

after your tremolo will be carved and accurately it must will become musical and expressive.

espressivo very very artistic... dolce , rubato with legato di suono.

 that's the difference between me and some "players" barking... not, sorry, playing like dogs in the  Italian Guitar Forum
( and they are teachers in the Italian state school , incredible and shameful, but this is a problem that we have in Italy, there is no meritocracy )

sorry if I changed the subject... we are talking about Tremolo now.

you can have a tremolo expressive only when you know to be on rhythm and volume
piano, pianissimo, forte, mezzoforte as you wish you have to control with perfect nails
built on the shape of your fingertip and hanging.

always accompanied the ring finger of your right hand with your pinky

and then you got it, you play perfect Sea Of Tranquility
because the man went to the moon, and so you can learn the tremolo... with tranquility !


Sea of Tranquility and

 all my compositions free pdf scores and guitar Tabs
 are at this link of my website :

http://www.classicalguitarvideo.com/teachpag/danielemaglimusic.html

And this is my interpretation of Sea of Tranquility





PS : please subscribe my YouTube official page !

                                               SEPTEMBER SUN easy tremolo by Magli





Miles Away guitar tremolo composed by Daniele magli

                                                           




and here my composition Travel to Mars guitar tabs.
it's an easy arpeggio study to play strong and very ritmico
good to play before tremolo
