Lets dive into this piece a little deeper below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Learn Villa-Lobos Prelude 1 - Classical Guitar Lesson (part1)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uysS0QcYy7Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning the Cello Melody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2158\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a.png?fit=640%2C178&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Learn Villa-Lobos Prelude 1 first Section\" class=\"wp-image-2773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a.png 2158w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a-1024x285.png 1024w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a-768x214.png 768w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a-1536x427.png 1536w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Opening-Melody-1a-2048x569.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2158px) 100vw, 2158px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above is the first video in the series on prelude 1, and it deals with that awesome cello melody opening. The main tip here is to make sure that the voices are balanced, so melody volume is up, bass is dialed in the middle, and the accompaniment is low &#8211; just bubbling along in the background. There are a couple of LH hacks here to keeping the tone even, along with RH fingering suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prelude 1 Completing Cello Melody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Learn Villa-Lobos Prelude 1 - Classical Guitar Lesson (part2)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yTejOc0jrTw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above is the video that deals with completing the cello melody, and the first section.
