Hey guys, in this video, we will talk about one of the popular classical guitar pieces.

This piece is called Asturias by Isaac Albeniz, a Spanish composer born in 1892.

Asturias was initially written for piano, and it was in G minor key. It was then transcribed for classical guitar in E minor. Segovia did one of the most popular transcriptions.

It was never meant to be played on the guitar, so maybe that’s why some of these sections are so difficult to play.

In this lesson, we will analyze the first section of the song. We will learn the melody, accompaniment, rhythm, fingerpicking pattern, and the great strummed chords.

Enjoy this lesson.
