The beauty and romance of the classical guitar is brought
home in this fascinating lesson by one of the worlds top '
players. Frederic Hand applies the essential techniques
that he demonstrated on his first Homespun video to
gorgeous music that will be accessible to all guitarists.

The seven works taught on this video are among the best-known
student pieces, and will be within the reach of most guitarists
who are familiar with the fingerboard and basic classical
technique.

Fred takes each piece apart, pointing out the possible trouble
spots and sharing important tips on technique and interpretation.
He demonstrates ornamentation, slurs, rhythmic and
melodic subtleties, timbral shadings, the importance of correct
plucking strokes and other invaluable pointers.

You'll start by learning three lute pieces from the
Italian Renaissance, each with a different tempo and feeling:
the lyrically romantic Vaghe Belleze, the spritely dance
Bianco Fiore and the more stately and dynamic Danza.
Johann Sebastian Bach's famous Sarabande is an intriguingly
lovely baroque piece, and Fernando Sor's Study in B Minor is an
excellent exercise for your right hand. The sublime Adelita by
Francisco Tarrega, with its romantic rubato style and
lush harmonies, gives players the opportunity to utilize
expressive techniques such as portamento and vibrato,
and to become familiar with the guitar's upper register.

Finally, you'll learn Fred Hand's distinguished arrangement of
the traditional Shaker hymn Simple Gifts.
This homage to Aaron Copeland starts with the basic tune in C,
but quickly moves into D, taking on a contemporary feeling.
