You can't force a melody out by just hitting it harder. Jaxon Williams shows how a rest stroke in your melody, against a free stroke in the bass, can carry the top line on its own.
Bartolomé Calatayud was a classical guitarist and contemporary of Segovia and Miguel Llobet born in the Spanish island, Mallorca. Calatayud, like many of his contemporary Spanish composers, wrote music that captured the quintessential Spanish sound. Calatayud’s Vals is a simple beginner piece that still has that distinct Spanish style. Join Jaxon Williams, as he guides you through the Vals, with great tips on shaping melodies with practical and very achievable exercises.
