Giuliani Exercises

Neil

I have two questions:

The Last Chord
The last chord in the exercises - How do you practice the way Hector plays the last chord.
I haven't been able to figure out the correct technique to get the same sound as Hector does.
I've tried playing each string one at a time and then speed up but it still doesn't sound quite the same!
Whatever Hector does (You do it in lessons too) my finger just don't want to go there.


Exercise 9 - Notation Question

In the image below, there is a double noted C.
How does this translate when playing, the thumb can only play once?
Looks like once in the video too.
:S

For your 2nd question, I'd think that you're to hit the c-note twice with the thumb.

This is a mistake in the tab. There should only be one C note (played by the Thumb).
If you watch the video for the lesson he explains it very well and it is very clear what he is doing.

I wondered about that.
He does explain everything clearly and when watching the video, I couldn't see him hitting the string twice.

If the notation was correct, I assume Terry is correct to say the note would be played twice?

No absolutely not twice, I mean playing it twice.

I don´t think it´s a mistake in standard notation, it´s in the other excercises as well. I think (Yes, I´m guessing) that it has a double function. It functions as the first of the triplet, but it also should last until the next bassnote, two beats (a half note).

Hello Vanessa

I see the double note notation in exercise 9 and 10 of the 14 exercises, so take your point that it's not a mistake but reflects the time the C is held.
Thanks

It is an error in the tab. The error is repeated in the other examples you give (9, 10 and 14)

If a note is only played once then it should only appear once in the tab.
How long a note lasts does not effect how many times it is shown in the tab

[mark]

Yes, I guess you´re right, I was talking about standard notation.

Dermot, I was talking about 'standard notation', I don't care about tab. At moments like these I wish we didn't have 'tab' in the first place. Nowadays we even call tab sheets and sheets tab.....%$^#%@$....

And that you can't find it in any of your books, doesn't mean that what I said isn't right. You hadn't noticed the 'rest' in your earlier question at all as well, while it's all over the Fisherman.

As for the tab, I think it's written that way since GPro likely translates it like that.

You can rely just fine on what Hector is saying, he is very clear as Mark stated, so just practice instead of wrecking your brain about it.

Mark,

Thanks Again.

The reason I asked the question was because I hadn't seen notes written in this way before.
The question also reflects fundamental holes in my own notation / tab knowledge.

If it's a mistake (I'm Confused now) ... it should be corrected in my opinion.

I wondered about Vanessa's explanation but couldn't find anything in any books I have.
The duration of a note is normally reflected by the type of note used and can be lengthen by the use of dots, ties etc.

I wonder how the double note got there.
It frustrates me I can't rely on the written notation / tab when watching the videos and when I'm away
from the computer practicing.
