For those wondering or interested; Parents - Romanza (Romance d’Amour) by unknown artist (a guitar piece) Non-musician friends - Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Professor - Lute Suite in G minor, BWV 995 by J.S Bach CZcams - Nothing Else Matters by Metallica You’re Welcome.
„Romance Anónimo“ (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar, also known as „Estudio en Mi de Rubira“ (Study in E by Rubira), „Spanish Romance“, „Romance de España“, „Romance de Amor“, „Romance of the Guitar“, „Romanza“ and „Romance d'Amour“ among other names. Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. It has variously been attributed to Antonio Rubira, David del Castillo, Francisco Tárrega, Fernando Sor, Daniel Fortea, Francisco Vicaria l Llobet, Antonio Cano, Vicente Gómez, and Narciso Yepes (Wikipedia).
I'm at a conference right now, and the entertainment was a guy with a doctorate in guitar - and he played this exact sequence of songs! 😂 That cannot be a coincidence.
@@chilliam00 that’s been that way for a while also. Some of the biggest talent in the metal, grunge, etc. scene of the 90s was with women lead singers and writers!
She is playing a classic guitar, and that's the right way to hold a classic guitar. If it was an acoustic or electric guitar, she would probably hold it the popular/standard way.
This is in actuality how all guitars are meant to be played, more ergonomic and such. But outside of classical music, the now common stances developed, probably out of lack of formal training and for looks. Some rock musicians do use this stance with their strap.
I listened to this 4 times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. You said SO much in less than a minute. Thank you for showing the threads that are still present in the music you and I grew up hearing. Much of it has been twisted, but the base is still there. I hope that makes sense to anyone reading my comment.
Ah, this really helped me realize how much I miss school, and how my fears have held me back for 7 years to even enter undergrad. I’ve had a life long dream of being a family therapist. Thank you for being open about your insecurities Alena!
@@elsvaughn7959I actually wasn’t sure. They sounded like songs to me but she went through them so quickly I wasn’t sure. I only recognized the Metallica riff. But #2 did sound familiar.

I’m just NOW learning the guitar, and found out some ppl hold it this way. It gives Cello 🎻 vibes! Very elegant. Your guitar also sounds more bright, almost harp-like 😍 very angelic 👌
I’m a devout metal head and when I practice or play sitting down I sit in the classical position as well. I even have this little adjustable foot stool to raise up right leg. I’ve played for years and my advice would be to sit in the classical position while playing and practicing.Good posture does help with technique especially when you’re first starting out. Best of luck to you in your journey forward.👍🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸
Often how players of classical guitar holds it, as those guitars have a fairly wide fretboard compared to other acoustic guitars, making it easier to play in an almost upright position so that you can position your left hand similar to how you would on a cello or contrabass. You normally wouldnt hold a "normal" acoustic guitar with a narrower fretboard this way.
My God your classical guitar approach to nothing Else matters was amazing! I would thoroughly enjoy a full-length video of nothing but that song if you would please!!!!!!
Anyone else feel a warm touch watching a master at work? I feel this way watching skilled musicians as well as artisans. Idk if this is some mild envy or what. At any rate, I'm in pure awe every time
@@greyngreyer5 Envy comes with negative connotations. I’d call it extreme appreciation because you actually take time to compare your own skills instead of taking for granted the mastery of the artist. Envy is also typically accompanied by someone becoming very critical of the works produced with a heavily negative bias. You seem to deviate from that as well. You’re simply in awe and that’s a beautiful thing!
@@kaitlanparks8061 It sure caused me some problems haha. I thought I was gay because I felt the same way watching my professor play guitar. It didn't help that he literally treated the guitar like a woman, same look and all. Anyway, thanks for explaining that ^^
Another tip. If you feel more contracted than the emotion is closer to envy or jealousy, if you feel more expansive than the emotion is closer to appreciation or awe. If the emotion drives a desire to improve for your own sake and enjoyment, rather than to be better than someone else it’s helpful.
I was actually waiting for that "ain't no rest for the wicked" riff, but im absolutely not disappointed. Especially the tune for "non-musician friends"! Perfection at it's finest
@@ilona.guitaryou've got it going on ilona. A lot of study. A lot of practice. Your love of music shows in your brilliance. Thank you for playing for us. Lovely.
Nearly every electric player that owns a flying V holds their guitar that way. She has some sort of contraption to make it easier holding an acoustic with the large body like that though. You can see it hooked over her leg.
Need a part now of what you actually play, versus of what people think. To complete the pattern, so to say, and show what’s your fingers run with when you pick guitar first time in a day!
Me encanta como muestras tu versatilidad con la guitarra interpretando distintos estilos , eres una gran guitarrista, gracias por compartir tu talento. ❤🎼🎸❤️
I know how to play all of that except the professor song, I am so proud of me right now. Thank you, you gave me hope, I was feeling a little down lately and feeling like I’m bad at guitar but now I feel more like I am freaking good like you
I play classical guitar to lol and have played some of these pieces, haven't seen a classical guitar youtuber before and everyone tells me barely anyone plays amymore. Sad times cause it's such a beautiful instrument 🙌
Weird thing to say , I am not a musician and l have no understanding of music but I like the way you hold your guitar. It feels like you actually respect the art and don't do it just because it looks cool or something.

@@ZacZagnothing else matters
She plays the guitar as if it’s a harp 🥲 so gracefully
It's a classical guitar I think, so yes, it's often held that way 😭
It's classical style of playing the guitar, the way they play in professional musical conservatories.
I play guitar and let me tell you, I don’t play as gracefully as she is playing rn

It's strange the way she is taking the guitar 😅, but It sounds great so it's ok

Also covered my My Chemical Romance on their first album as the opening track. Dope song
That is definetely the most elegant way I've seen someone playing Nothing Else Matters
If you want to check another interesting play of that song search 'nothing else matters on fretless bass'.
apocalyptica
you should def check out the harp twins' cover of it! that and this are both very unique and majestic renditions
@@pcihector Love seeing my man Charles Berthoud mentioned in the wild!
@@pcihector Charles Berthoud plays amazing fretless bass
Not only can she play beautifully it goes with her beauty.
I don't think anybody else noticed that 😂
For me I prefer electric than classical guitar but you play it so perfect
Do you find it hard to call it Spanish guitar? That's what it's called and the one she plays.
@@highhopes1616 I don't see a golpeador, so I don't think it's a Spanish (flamenco) guitar, but a classical guitar.
You still got such huge cellist vibes going on. It really brings something magical to your classic guitar skills.
Kinda looks like she'd make a good harp player to me.
@@erikeriksthats what i thought. looks like she’s playing the harp
That’s how us classical guitarist hold it
It’s because she played the prelude from Suite 5
