[/url] [/url]
My question is about the two sections(measures) mark by red
my comment:
in the first section I must to make it higher one octave
and play it as it seem by pluck G then F# then E and using i,m right fingers

I saw many video for playing aranjuez adagio like guitarist
Romero and others ,they were playing it very fast and gave it a nice sound
I try it to do like them ,but I found very hard
so I think they play it by using technique like (pull of or hammer on )
and may be use the way technique (trill)
Same thing for second section
my question is :
what is the technique to play this sections

Woah - nice one.

Yes - you have to play that first section one octave higher, so the fingers of the fretting hand are above the 12th fret, and the thumb is behind the neck right at the join with the body. The second section could also have been written an octave lower with the "8va" symbol used to make it easier to read. I think fingering the score as m, i, m in those sections is very poorly advised. Just looking at it says that the most sensible method would be to play each of those sections

a, m, i for the first three notes

then

m, a, m, i for the rest of the section

In the first section, all the F#'s would be played with m, and in the second section, all the E's would be played with m.

Aim for a steady rolling sound there - the tempo cannot be kept easily, so a steady, even sound is paramount.

Best,

A :-)

Not sure how to make it much simpler, to be honest, but let's have a go by talking about the first marked section. I'm assuming you're playing on a classical guitar.

Play the G with the "a" finger (3rd finger of the picking hand)

Play the F# with "m"

Play the E with "i"

The rest of that section is a repeated F#, G, F#, E sequence

Play the F# with "m"

Play the G with "a"

Play the F# with "m"

Play the E with "i"

The fret positions on the first string for the fretting hand are 15, 14, 12, 14, 15, 14, 12, 14, 15, 14, 12 and so on.

the second marked section is exactly the same, except thta you

Play the F's with "a"

Play the E's with "m"

Play the D's with "i"

the picking finger pattern is the same for both sections.

Best,

A :-)
