Chords for Medieval classical guitar music to learn and play

[Am] Hey there, Alan [C] Matthews here.
In this video [A] we are going to be talking about three little [Am] medieval tunes set for the [G] classical guitar
_ And we're just gonna look at each one.
There's a course [Em] you can buy if you'd like to [B] that has all three of these [F] pieces
I'll tell you all about [G] it in this video.
After this video
Then you can [Am] watch me playing all three [C] of these if you so care to.
[G] [Am] Well all three of these are very accessible
There's there's no high level [D] advanced piece of it.
[G#] These all three [A] are decent [G] for beginners
You [Am] know, they [D] have their little [A] things that that they they [Am] have their little challenging spots
But if you're a beginner you can play these pieces.
So looking [Em] at this one, this is the first [Am] Vera [G] live _ _ _ 1330
_ _ Their bouts mid 1300s [Am] this [D] one.
We have a melody [C] line with some [D] chords
so if you [G] just glance through here, there's just a chord at the beginning [A] of every bar [C] with the melody line [G] and
If you'll look closely as [A] well, you can see [F] these little [Cm] every couple of [D] bars
[B] There's a little number in [A] a box
[G] And what this is is [Am] that [D] I've taken these and [A] separated these into [Gm] logical little practice sections
So that way we [E] can go in and focus [B] just on
_ _ One little [Cm] section and [B] look at all the different [G] the right hand.
What is the right hand doing [A] specifically?
What is the left [C] hand doing?
How do we put those [G] together?
_ What note should I [A] bring out which note should be in the background should I [F] get louder here?
[D] Should I get softer [C] all of these issues for both [A] hands and [G] also for the
[Am] Musicality and the [Em] phrasing of the piece [F#m] we go through with a fine-tooth comb [G] in each one of these pieces
This next one [F#] written in the [Dm] 16th century
_ [G] Is um, [C] it's a little bit [G] different than the first here
We have a melody line on top with a bass line going
_ Constantly [C] and [G] basically always matching up it very rarely is that there is a melody note without [G#] a bass note
So in this [G] one we talk in depth about how to balance these voices so that the melody comes out
You can really keep that, you know, what's in front in [E] front and what's in back in back?
It's we really talk about the balance
We look at [G] little spots like this where the phrasing thing
We might want one [D#] thing to happen in the upper voice [G] and another thing to happen in the lower voice
And so it's really fun to look at how those intersect and then how we would actually figure out that little problem to make [Em] both
Of them happen.
It's a little bit more advanced
But with an easier piece like this
Then you can take [D] the take the [G] time to work on these little high-level issues
Which is really great in the easier [F#m] [A] pieces quote-unquote [G] easier pieces, right?
[Am] And this third piece is by Richard the [Dm] Lionhearted who is really an [Em] interesting guy super [G] warrior
But also he was a writer he wrote poems he was a poet and a [C] musician [Bm] and so he [A] was he was it was very
rare [Am] in those days for the big warrior Kings [E] to
Write poetry [A] and play [G]
music and he did anyway, he was quite a he had many
_ Different lifestyle choices in his peers.
_ [B] So it's [A] really great to kind of have a window into [Am] his [E] life through this [A] piece of music _
This one [G] in three four time again
We have a melody going on [Am] and then chords [Em] underneath [A] it in a fairly _ [G]
steady rhythm
This has a little [A] triplet in it.
We talk about this [Am] rhythm and how to play this rhythm
We talk about again how to phrase everything how to really [G] make it as beautiful as possible different ways to
[C] _ [G] Explore this music in depth if tab is [A] more your style then there is [Am] tab for all three of these pieces _
So if you're not reading notes [G] So well
Then you can always go to the tab or if you'd like to consult it
Just to make sure that you're reading the notes correctly
Then that is available for you on all [A] three of these pieces.
And so these are the three medieval tunes
_ [B]
[Em] Really good for beginning early intermediate [G] _
levels you guaranteed to [C#] find something new in these [A] pieces
I hope you thoroughly [G] enjoy them _ and
[A] You have a great day.
Thanks very much _ _ _ _ _ _
