The Chord Progression
Same Old Chords
One of the things you hear a lot when listening to Spanish guitar is the same chord progression repeated over and over again.
Hundreds of different melodies and songs were written using the same 4 chords, and today, it’s no exception.
We will be playing over the Am – G – F and E7 most popular Spanish chord progression.
The Advanced Spanish Melody
Once you familiarize yourself with the chord progression, move on to the melody.
There are two different phrases.
- The first phrase is played in thirds and starts on the actual chord.
- The second phrase is played in single notes, and it moves towards the next chord.
Simplified Melody For Beginners
This lesson is definitely not for beginners.
Two many things make this lesson difficult, so if you have played for just a couple of months, I highly recommend you come back when you feel ready.
However, if you feel you really want to try this guitar part, I suggest you try to simplify the melody like that.
