I invite you to play “Rio Ancho”(Flamenco/Jazz)Paco De Lucia

[rubendiaz]

So… dear friends and colleagues:
We will continue having fun, with a marvellous composition of the great composer Paco De Lucia
this is how it sounds with other instruments in a rehearsal of my new sextet http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo102.html

and this is my version of the piece with only guitars
video lesson 1) http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo83.html
(here from min:2,29 to 4,12 the intro is explained but, you can skip that, is not necessary to play it,rather learn from min:4,13 to 5,23 where the melody is explained & play it!
for the intro if you want, play just the chords that are:
G,G,Em,Em,G,G,G7,G7,F,F,C,C,C,B7,B7.)

the main chord progression is:

4/4

Em,Em,Am,Am,D7,D7,G,G,C,C,B7,B7.

you can play a solo using just G major scale!
(if you are a beginner)

Be creative and have fun!, its just an experiment!

So, practice with the following link
video lesson 2)http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo84.html

You are invited to upload your own video to YouTube playing a solo with your guitar either electric or acoustic, accompanied by the sound track on
video lesson 2 which is this: http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo84.html

(try to do it in a week or so!...and send me the link, then we will comment over, for different creative approach’s etc, it will be fun!)

Ruben: This is outstanding and I would be grateful if you would extend my congratulations to all of the participants who did a marvellous job. What I enjoy so much about this performance is the obvious deep appreciation shown by the musicians for one another. This is the magic of music at its best.

To take this performance a step further, I would love to hear from the sextet participants how they feel about playing in this genre and the challenges this style of music presents for them.
