Great video! But if you imagine yourself in the Amazon rainforest while listening to Villa Lobos... I would just like to point out I doubt Villa Lobos even ever went anywhere near the Amazon rainforest. The background for his works was much more inspired by the metropolitan atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, a decadent metropolis ravaged by poverty and crime and the southeastern Brazil countryside, which looks a lot like the stereotypical American "South" with folkish rednecks but with less racism. He also has some pieces inspired by Northeastern Brazil culture, which I could only summarize as something like the Wild West...all of these places are closer to Africa to anywhere near the Amazon. Just a tip ;P

During the pandemic I had more time and after 20 years of not studying I started learning again. This time, the modern way, choosing repertoire on CZcams and Spotify and then buying or downloading the scores on the Internet. Next thing I knew I bought a Tonebase subscription. It's incredible, I truly recommend it. If you have the time, you can learn so much.. Villa-Lobos was probably the greatest Brazilian composer for solo guitar (and more) but I feel that not enough people play Garoto. Paulo Bellinatti recovered his incredible work. The fingerings are challenging for players only used to play classical guitar as they require sometimes the use of 5 fingers on the right hand or semi bars with the left hand. Easier if you have played jazz or bossa nova before. I wish you play some of his music so that more people give it the deserved credit as he passed too young and kind of was forgotten. He has some virtuoso pieces but all of it is extremely beautiful. From Garotos compositions Villa Lobos most cherished Debussyana. Check it out !
Villa Lobos is the reason i started classical guitar
Really? Can you tell us more about it?
For me, it's one of the reasons I actually left classical guitar. It was just too demanding and I realised it wasn't the music I wanted to dedicate myself to. Still love listening though, the music is beautiful. But it was just too frustrating, especially since it was pre-internet days and the only Villa-Lobos I had available was just a bit of sheet music. Still play guitar, play music that I enjoy... but a part of me still wishes I could be the kind of guy that could just pick up a guitar and play a flawless Étude 7.
@@mejsjalv you could just play something else?
@@mejsjalv my teacher always tells me, Villa Lobos is actually easy , because it is written for guitar. All the fingerings are more or less logical and good to remember. You only have to practise VERY SLOW ! If you can Play it slow, you can play it fast. Dedicate your self to the Instrument ,the classical guitar itself and not to a specific Music and you will be able to play anything.
But Villa lobos is part of Classical guitar style? 🤔
Obrigado por colocar a nossa música em tão elevado grau. Estou muito grato.

We need more of this ranging from sor, carcassi, Giuliani, brouwer, mertz, dyens and others. You already made tarrega and barrios and this series is a must. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
CARCASSI the best !
Joaquin Rodrigo would be a good one as well, even don't playing guitar, he composed great pieces for the instrument.
Brouwer was terrible
Yes!!!!! UP that comment!
Agreed! This series is one of my favorites.
Temos orgulho da nossa música, a nossa verdadeira música, é uma honra para o Brasil sua interpretação, abraços do Brasil meu amigo Lucas!
eu n tenho orgulho do funk carioca rsrsrsr

Hey man, come to Brasil hahaha{2} xD

Love the video !!!
Don't forget about Brandon Acker! :)
As a Brazilian I love all Villa lobo's pieces.
You interpreted it perfectly 👏🇧🇷
Fofo rs
"como brasileira" kkkkkkk ninguém conhece poha nenhuma disso aqui kkkkkk só quem estuda música né

The "Mazurka-Choro" is the proof that "Music is common language of the humanity".
Villa Lobos is an underrated compositor in Brazil. But his work is alive! Forever...
I love the comedy videos, but I love this more. Beautiful pieces, played beautifully, with interesting context that will send me on a voyage of musical discovery. CZcams at its best.
I think this is the first time I've ever heard Lucas say something like, "I'll give it a shot..."
#respect
A whole lot of years passed between my bachelors degree and my masters. As an under grad my instrument was trumpet and in grad school guitar. Richard Glenn, my instructor, turned me on to Villa-Lobos and I thank him for that. When I left school with my masters and a teaching credential the only gig I could get was both teaching and playing piano which destroyed my right hand finger nails and guitar technique. At 76 I am trying to get those nails back so I can enjoy playing again. I’m struggling with Bach and looking forward to Villa-Lobos.
Bach is unforgiving but also very rewarding!
Lucas not only inspires me, but also educates me. What more could you ask from a CZcamsr?
I must say, Brazilian guitar composions are so good, love my country music style! 🇧🇷
Thanks, Lucas. I'm Brazilian and very honored by your video.
Villa Lobos is not only my favourite composer for guitar but also piano
I did not know this music existed! I am glad I discovered these pieces. These pieces of music just sounds so nice. Well done!
As a Brazilian, i'm so proud of your comment! Thanks!
I highly recommend other pieces from Villa-Lobos, like the concerto for Guitar, Fansasia for cello and orchestra, Quintet for Flute, Harp and String Trio, and the bachianas, but all of his worth it, he made more then 2000 pieces. And i also recommend a feel other brazillian composers, Camargo Guarnieri, Guerra Peixe, Alberto Nepomuceno and Radamés Gnattali.
amazing how the Brazilian music spread around the world
@@musicorum6141 it too has already been corrupted... The Brazilian funk, the sertanejo universitário and other distorted foreign music introduced here made our music a boring noise... Unfortunately.
@@musicorum6141 If you ask an ordinary young Brazilian who Heitor Villa-Lobos was, he won't know how to answer. He will say that he was a politician or general from the past. Maybe Tom Jobim is still known, but still I do not guarantee a precise answer regarding him.
Being a Brazilian lately it's not easy, but seing someone doing this to remind us what our country has gives me chills! Thank you Lucas, from the bottom of my heart!
Lately??? Só se for por conta da porcaria musical tocada nas rádios
@@joaopedroza1990 E por causa do lixo que tinhamos como presidente.
@@andersonsafre2274 saiu um lixo e entrou outro maior
Really, 2022-2026 will bê worse, the shortage of food already started.
@@VitorSantos-dh1jr yeah, it began last year with people desperately assaulting markets in search of food because we've returned to the Hunger Map. Everyone said we were destinated to become a new Venezuela and in fact we are. We have people searching food in Trash cans, people looking for bones in butcher shops and etc. Hopefully 2022-2026 will be better, given our new president was the most well rated ever. Experience tells us that he can manage our country, contrasting with the disaster we've faced during 2018-2022 with this fascist scum which can't even hide when he's being Hitler's copycat.
Wow thanks Lucas, I had never heard of Heitor Villa-Lobos until now, such beautiful music. His guitar arrangements remind me of Tarrega, wondering, mysterious, slightly dark at times but with splashes of hope scattered throughout.
Try Bachianas Brasileiras 5
What's a Tarrega
Your serie of 5 levels of classical guitarist is gem on CZcams, please make more of it .
Great, Lucas. The Brazilian community is now eagerly awaiting you to play some Dilermando Reis and Garoto (Anibal Augusto Sardinha) - the real founders of Brazilian guitar.
Man, we need to see the full pieces! Awesome job showcasing Villa-Lobos masterful repertoire. You should do more of these: presenting other incredible classical guitar composers such as Brouwer, Dyens, Ponce, Sor, Barrios Mangoré, Llobet, Dowland...
He already did Barrios
For many people these educational videos are the exception for your channel. As much as I love your very skilled based comedy videos this is the kind of content I absolutely adore to watch on your channel..! Keep up the amazing work Lucas !! 😊
Edit: I'm kinda sad Etudes 9 and 11 weren't included in the video 😅
I couldn’t agree more
Very well said. 👍
It is really nice to see in these pieces how much they have influence many brazillians musicians through the years in many diferrents styles. The level 2 right hand pattern, for instance, is replicated by Kiko Loreiro in the song "Conquer or Die" by megadeth, even if only at the minor E chord.
Villa-Lobos is really at the highest level of music one can achieve.
Heitor Villa-Lobos is one of the most popular Brazilian composers. He was a pianist, but he knew the guitar very well. He wrote 12 Etudes for guitar and a lot of Choros and Preludes. For me, this etudes are very helpful because I can improve my technic and both hands. This is my suggestion for this video: in my opinion, Level 5 can be also Etude 3, because this etude is very good for left hand and it has a lot of legatos, and for Level 4 Etude 11. This etude is very good for practicing right hand and chords . Greetings from Serbia!
Respect and love from Canada! We love your merging of classical and jazz-but we want to hear some flamenco from you, brother!
These legitimately are some of the most dynamic pieces ever. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to this music early in my life. Villa-Lobos was the first guitar composer to ever make me want to actually dance. It was Prelude no. 5 that did it. Haha
Love this!! Such fantastic playing too!
You have a new subscriber for sure
Humour style vids and this style of vid. This is you, champ. Well done. Amazing stuff. Keep it up. Will celebrate for you when you hit the 1 mio.
Hey Lucas, I can assure you that all "5 levels of" video inspire to learn more about classical guitar. I absolutely love all the classical stuff you do, it's beautiful!
Thank you for representing us 🇧🇷!
We are proud of our music and culture too!
Thank you Lucas 🎉
Oh man, I get emotional, I am very grateful to you for showing the greatness of our Brazilian music, not many people know Villa Lobos or Chiquinha Gonzaga, thank you very much Lucas! Bring for us O Guarani from Villa Lobos!
O Guarani is an opera composed by the great Carlos Gomes (another Brazilian ostracized by the anglocentrism) based on the book with the same name from the literature titan José de Alencar.
Your execution is Very, Very, veeery accurate for a stranger, a foreigner. It's so rare to finding someone who does a perfect Brazilian accent in guitar. Congrats!
Do you know Baden Powell and your son, Marcel, and Raphael Rabello, Paulinho Nogueira or Yamandú Costa? All of them are excellent composers of acoustic guitar pieces. I think that you will like, If you doesn't know them.
Hugs from Brazil!
1:14 Wow, I can feel that you are very good at this. That demonstration of Prelude # 1 sounds sublime. And I've listened to several other performers. It's like you get the best sound out of every note. Thanks!
I was at Villa Lobos`s house in Rio de Janeiro what emotion. Thanks Lukas!
Just realized it's more than 30 years since I played those... Darn it, time flies...
I studied classical guitar in my teens and I had never heard of this composer, but once I got to the level where I could start studying his compositions, he is my favorite
Beautiful! My 12-year-old played Prelude 1 for a guitar competition this year, he loved this piece. He played the level 2 exercise as well. This level 3 piece is so beautiful!
Lucas, your ability to play jazz, and improvise, as well as play with such feeling in (and knowledge of) classical pieces, makes your channel riveting and so inspiring for me. Huge thanks!
When this gentleman says “I’ll give it a shot”, that says quite a something about the complexity of the piece.
Kudos!
This harmonies are so great and warm , ty and villa lobos ! So calm music ! This world need to listen this !
Hi from Brazil, and thank you for bring us this!!!
Crazy about you Lucas, please more of this
Great book. Great composer and a wonderful person.
Saudações do Brasil! Vila Lobos de fato é um ícone.
Nice to see our music gets the recognition it deserves somewhere. Most Brazilians don't know how rich our music used to be back then
Makes you wonder why not now!
Villa-Lobos makes us very proud for sure. This was a great homage, thank you! 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
please make more of this kind of thia video
its really informative and amazing to know more about high value music
thanks lucas
Lucas- Thank you, that was truly outstanding. A beautiful tribute to a giant of the classical guitar…
Those melodies always makes me want to start learning classical guitar
You’re an insanely amazing guitarist and the embodiment of Jazz music and history. Your talent will take you far, I’m sure of it! Thanks for sharing!
Impressive and high quality interpretation. Heitor aka Villa-Lobos was a massive composer and classical guitar player. The Brazilian school of guitar players is plentiful of masterpieces like that. Many thanks lad for this beautiful presentation!
Best part of all this. I can find it being played everywhere here by talented musicians. its beautiful
tbh, i got inspired to play guitar listening to my favorite bands like angra or megadeth for example but after seeing this recommended video on youtube homepage
this specific video inspired me to study hard to play with the same mastery as you
thank you, you opened my head to other horizons!
More of this content please! I know its not the most viral type of stuff but this was beautiful and illustrative.
What a heartwarming vid my man! It was wonderful to hear Villa Lobos by you., he was truly a master of his craft. Thank you and you should continue with this series of legends of the guitar!
Much love from a fellow brazilian
Broooo you really nailed it every piece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's so nice to know that Villa Lobos' work is known outside Brazil, he's a true genius!
I play also some of these pieces and I never get sick of it, they are so fun, challenging and beautiful at the same time
Thanks
I really love when you play classical guitar...
This brings tears to my eyes, it is simply beautiful. Cheers from Brazil, mate.
How many guitarists can say with Lucas ...."when I used to be a classical guitar player ...." like saying ..."I was kicking around the summit of Everest one foggy afternoon when I decided I should probably head back down..." !!
As usual, another fantastic very informative video. I love Villa-Lobos and I truly believe that he would have loved your performances of his music.
Thank you sooo much for introducing me to this absolutely wonderful music, I literally cried when you played Prelude No. 1, this is so incredibly beautiful!! This motivated me to try playing classical guitar
Hey Lucas, thank you for showcasing Villa-Lobos with such beauty.
I would love it if you could showcase Yamandu Costa next.
Much love from Brazil. 🇧🇷🔴
Even if I enjoy your more funny videos I was missing one of this composer / guitarist dedicated ones, Very good video
Fantastic - astonishingly beautiful playing and very nicely presented - thank you
As an amateur Brazilian classical guitar player I really enjoyed this video and would like so much to have more videos like this about his pieces! Amazing job bro! Long time follower! Never disappointed with your videos! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Lucas. God bless you.
Much love, man! Love always! Thank you, you made my day!
Such a great player as always. Love your content from Colombia !
Hey Lucas,
I (and probably many others) would love to see you compose the most beautiful piece that expresses all your feelings through your guitar skills. I'd pay for this :)
You actually inspired me to seach more about Villa Lobos, thanks!
I have heard Pepe Romero about a half-dozen times when he toured the West Coast of the United States. He used to play in Bellingham, WA every year in the '90's. He played a lot of Villa-Lobos. Wonderful stuff! :)
Bro, thank you. As a Brazilian I feel honored that a little bit of our culture (true culture) is being shared to the world by such an amazing musician like you.
Dylla is great guitarist coming from Poland, have seen many recordings with him. Real Virtuoso 👍
And once again, Lucas is honoring our country. I found it really beautiful all the love that you have for brazilian music, and yes, Villa-Lobos is one of the best brazilian composers (if not THE best, honestly). Thank you for this amazing video!
Wow, I've never heard about the mazurka piece by Villa-Lobos. Your interpretation is wonderful indeed... And yes, it sounds like Villa-Lobos and Chopin had a nice cup cafe and enjoyed composing together for a while.
Wonderful video!!! Subscribed!!!
Obrigado ;)
And pianist too, and some rumors said he played the viola too🙌🏽🇧🇷🎊❤️
I can see your little smile while playing all those levels of choro from Heitor, it's insane how beautiful sound such a simple (but complex) instrument can generate to us.
I love Villa-Lobos. I'm going over Valse Choro this semester, such a beautiful piece!
Thank you for mentioning Villa-Lobos. Amazing music
I'm so honored to have studied in a music school that carries his name, here in Rio de Janeiro
No amigo, no era hacer llorar, bailar, cantar y besar la guitarra. Solo era tocarla.
Me encantó el vídeo, y eres demasiado bueno. Yo que soy principiante en la guitarra. Solo me queda la admiración y el trabajo duro de practicar la guitarra que has hecho. Saludos desde Guatemala! 🇬🇹🇬🇹
I like the mixture of smart/sensible and funny in your videos. This was incredible playing paired with a great taster on a composer I'm going to check out now. Bravo 👏
You're connected to good stuff Lucas! Keep up with the good work!
Finally! Great as always, Lucas!
That was realy good! +1 for the etude n*7, î’ve never been able to play it properly, you did it with such a good tone and flow… awesome!
Exceptional sustain and tone!
Woww! GOAT Villa-Lobos! Hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
Lucas! I know this type of video doesn’t get nearly as much traction as the videos that are memes but I am so grateful that you also share music that is very close to your musical soul and hope that you keep sharing this with us! My favorite work from Villa Lobos is the D Major Prelude.
How Brazilian, I stay very happy for you prestigie and love for my culture and music.
Really, Brazilian Music is Very good.
Very emotional.
God Bless you My friend.
Lucas, it an immense pleasure listen to you talking about and play the marterpieces of these incredible legends. The guitar is what it is thanks to them. I thank you for this kind of contents, keep it going!
It's so beautiful...I'm speechless and, as a brazilian, honored. Thank you.
Congratulations. You just rekindled my love, lost for decades, with his music ❤
im so glad that you're continuing this series man. your barrios and tarrega videos are some of your best!
It's nice to see that you actually have a serious side! I first watched your "when a classical guitarist discovers the blues" video, and got a good laugh from it.
Etude no1 is an absolute must learn for every classical guitarist. Perfect for bridging you from intermediate to a bit more advanced IMO, if you can master the piece.
Wow! Great job Lucas. Tremendous video.👏👍👏
I REALLY, really like your videos Lucas. Especially coming from Brasil and seeing such an amazing talent like yourself showing Villa-Lobos, or anything from bossa nova.
Thanks for that.
Muito amor para você Lucas!
That no 7 was perfect, goddamn. Greetings from a fellow guitar student.
Excellent vid. I’m self taught guitar lover in love with Villa Lobos and bossa nova since young. Even if I cannot play correctly, I can still learn a great deal. I keep practicing the 1st Etude, and I m working on 11, 8 and eventually I will get to 12. We’ll see from there.
I started with blues and rock, and I am learning a bit of jazz which connects nicely with the Brazilian guitar apparently. It’s fun and fascinating and frustrating. But I love the challenge.
Thanks for the video.
