In this week's lesson I'll teach how to get started with Malagueña, the traditional Spanish classical guitar tune. Even if you don't know this song by name, I would bet you find it recognizable when listening — as it just oozes with Spanish flamenco vibes.
In my video lesson I'll show you two ways to play the main melody. First, I'll teach it using strings 2-4, which uses notes you're already used to fretting while playing the familiar E major and A minor chords. Then, I'll show you the same melody played an octave lower — which gives a deep & rich bass sound.
Finally, I'll demonstrate how you can adding the droning high E-string (played after each melody note). While this a bit difficult to learn at first, it's worth practicing — as it evokes those Spanish guitar flavors and sounds great. Let's get to it!
