Alla Turca Part 1
 Hello Friends! I know many of you really enjoy Paul Gilbert’s songs, lessons and videos. Well, I enjoy them too. So, I know that Paul use to play classical songs in his albums or teach classical exercises in his videos. In fact, he shows a lot of classical pieces in his DVD "Guitars for Mars". For that reason, I think it could be really cool to record a classical lesson.
I enjoy classical music like Bethoveen, Bach, Vivaldi, Paganini, Tchaikovski, and especially Mozart’s music. I don’t remember the first time I started to listen classical music, but I remember the first time I went crazy about the genius Mozart. It was when I saw the film "Amadeus", at the age of nine or ten, I’m not sure, and I think "Perfect!".
I have no words to explain what I feel when I heard his music, it’s really great, Mozart rules! I have my favourites masterpieces: "The Magic Flute", "Requiem", "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", and the one I choose for the present lesson "Alla Turca".
For the lesson, I adapted the melody for a piano transcription to the guitar, I introduce a little variations and, in my opinion, obtained cool exercises for the left hand, because of the hard four finger’s work, and for the right hand, because of the alternative picking technique.
Well, I recorded the lesson in two parts. In this one, the first one, we can see two sections, the first one in the key of Am, and the second one, in A.
Tempo: 130 bpm
Hope you enjoy it. See you in the next one!
Pablo.-

This is the beginning. It’s simple. I played it all with alternate picking (up-down, up-down, etc. in all the strings).

It’s the same melody that in the first part, but I make a little change in the end to differ the first one from this one. |

Here we have another sweet melody. The difficult here is the "jump" in the third string to the fifth string. |

This one starts like the melody in the first and second part but the end is different. |

In this part we play the same melody than in the third part. Be carefully with the string jump. |

In this part the song changes the Am key to A. And here we are going to play the same melody in two different parts of the guitar. The first one in the first and second string combining alternate picking with a bit of hammer on and pull off and legato technique. The second one in the three first strings using only alternate picking.

We finish with the same melody than in the Part 7. There in only one difference in the last melody where I duplicated the picking on a couple of notes. |

I love it. It's the perfect difficulty to train the cooperation of my ring finger and my pinky.
In the 7th video seems to be the last note on the wrong string, isn't it?
