Spanish Guitar Chords | 5 Chords for that FLAMENCO Sound 

The intro to battery is awesome because it’s all built on Phrygian which sounds so cool

I agree. I was taken aback at first with the quick pace but it works really well. I’m tired of videos demonstrating a guitar that start with 10 to 12 minutes without making a sound . Sound first or quickly and then talk works much better . It draws the listener in. This is a tremendously valuable channel with top notch presentations .

🤩🤩🤩

My pleasure!

Glad you think so!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for watching and good luck! It’s a whole universe of fun stuff to play, keep it up!

Glad I could help!

Great to hear!

No we don’t. E is the tonic chord in this example.

@@TheVersatileGuitarist You're wrong. Flamenco resolves to the E7b9 chord. it is the V of the relative minor key. You're just not talking about it correctly. I'm the expert between us and here is my proof: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bH8uwd8iy64.html

That was pretty damn arrogant ​@@wjpipkin

Haha and what does this prove? Also: do you know what the word “resolves” means?

Thank you I appreciate that!

Thanks! I’ll check…

Cool I’ll check it out!

Is it just me, or does Julian Bream give us a verse of that old tourist favorite ‘O La Paloma Blanca’?

Nice!

Just find the root of the chord and move it up one fret!

Just a steam of consciousness thing, but I’m doing kind a a Zapateado thing here

The technique in Flamenco is called a Rasqueado or Rajeo. There are many variations of how to do it.

Thanks for continuing to watch after my dumb joke

Even The Doors knew how to get “instant Spanishness“

Thank you! I haven’t heard of him but I’ll definitely check him out

I love Rock and I love Flamenco too ... recently I was amazed to see that the Flamenco Spirit from tradition and modern guitar harmonies lives e.g. in the hands of Diego del Morao ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9LQUa2jbm5Y.html

@@alfonsoroman8964 he's great man! you checked out Gran Hechicero yet though? he took afro-Cuban Changui and turned it into literal rock music shit blows my mind! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivliraD5GSc.html cheers man, hope you get the same kick out of it I did!

​@@alfonsoroman8964 This is the perfect mix of rock, flamenco and Andalusian folk, an Andalusian 70´s rock band called "Flamenco". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k7vhslsczXw.html

so I can play more notes when improvising

Harmonic minor is a 7-note scale, and so are all of its modes. You're right, the video is about the Spanish Phrygian mode, also called Phrygian Dominant. It is the 5th mode of Harmonic minor.

Yes, but there are composite scales that some flamenco players refer to where they include the flat five and sometimes even the flat three of Phrygian dominant

I think when most people refer to Phrygian they mean the Spanish sounding fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, rather than the third mode of the major scale. It’s hard to find too many songs that actually use the true Phrygian mode without raising the third to make it Phrygian dominant. That’s a seven note scale, but there are other examples of Added notes like including the flat three along with a major third or even the flat five

@@TheVersatileGuitarist I think in hardrock and metal you see Phrygian a lot

​@@Wout1337 I apologise for not being precise enough, because the matter and naming can be a bit confusing. There is A) Phrygian scale, B) Spanish scale, and C) Phrygian Dominant scale. A) Phrygian scale is the 3rd mode of the major scale. It has 7 notes. When one extra note is added to it, in between the 3rd and the 4th degrees, that new scale some call B) “Spanish scale”. It is an 8-note scale. But there is C) Phrygian mode of the Harmonic minor scale too, which is a 7-note scale. The only difference between Phrygian Harmonic minor scale (aka Phrygian Dominant) and the Spanish scale, is in that Phrygian Dominant omits the 3rd degree of the Spanish scale, and has a wider gap there. A) Phrygian scale: C, C#, D#, F, G, G#, A# B) Spanish scale: C, C#, D#, E, F, G, G#, A# C) Phrygian Dominant: C, C#, E, F, G, G#, A# By observing all the scales, we see that the “chemistry” of the Spanish / Flamenco sound happens somewhere in the 3rd and/or the 4th degree, and how those degrees are treated. “Phrygian Dominant scale” has more tension than the “Spanish scale” because its 3rd degree is farther apart from the 2nd (jump from C# to E). Can Mr Taber add something regarding the 8-note “Spanish scale”? Thank you all..

Yes.

Hard remedies? You don’t have to have long nails, in fact shorter nails are better, but having *some* nail helps us get a little more volume and attack on the string. If you’re just starting out though, the shorter your nails the better

Im learning Austrias for Isaac Albeniz . And what I've noticed that guitarists who played it had long nails

Oh no did you try these chords without wearing a mask?

@@TheVersatileGuitarist No, not yet. But i can play the chords without any strings. Im a harmonica player hahaha...🎼

This sounds familiar

Adam del monte‘s “Flamenco scale“ includes a flat 3rd with a major third and other color tones… If you used those notes in the chord you would get a jazzy/bluesy sounding chord like a dominant 7#9 … as I say in this video, it’s Phrygian dominant that you’re hearing in most Spanish sounding music, but it only manifests itself on the I chord (or you could call it the V cord if you like to think in the minor key)

A major chord with a flat nine will instantly sound Spanish no matter how you play it, that’s the point of this video

You mean chords for this particular lesson?

​@@TheVersatileGuitarist Yes. But any tabs to help get a classical sound would be great. You show them very clearly on your vid so it's a bit of a silly question.
