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

[Ruben Diaz]

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

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
