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 Flamenco Guitar Ruben Diaz Official Website

and this is my version of the piece with only guitars
video lesson 1) Flamenco Guitar Royal Conservatory of Toronto Ruben Diaz Official Website
(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)Flamenco Guitar Royal Conservatory of Toronto Ruben Diaz Official Website

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: Flamenco Guitar Royal Conservatory of Toronto Ruben Diaz Official Website

(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!)

Great stuff, Ruben. I sure do enjoy watching you play and I'm impressed with your sextet. You've found yourself a bunch of great musicians.

Any chance of a backing track of that progression? Something to play along to?

[rubendiaz]

Dear maestro Kirk

I would love that you play a solo on acoustic or electric as you prefer,just play a solo from minute 1:05 on,please take a video of you playing a solo with the following sountrack Flamenco Guitar Royal Conservatory of Toronto Ruben Diaz Official Website

you know... its easy chord progression
the chords changes are

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


well... I know you are very busy person,but think about it,and its an honour that you participate,its just to share diferent styles of playing guitar,and see whats the outcome!

look,this is an example of how to use this soundtrack or as we say in Spanish play over the ¨pista¨
Flamenco Guitar Royal Conservatory of Toronto Ruben Diaz Official Website
this is one of my online students from Finland!
I hope you like it!



either you want to play or otherwise,I thank you a lot!

I'd be glad to play some lines over that progression, Reuben, but I'd like to do it over a nice mp3 track of you playing the rhythm part. I don't like trying to extract audio from a video as the quality is so poor. I think your student from Finland is doing a great job, but I can't really hear the backing.

Can you record some rhythm for us and load it up as a Mp3?

[rubendiaz]

Maestro Kirk:


Here is the mp3 fil e of Rio Ancho:

[Kirk Lorange]

Aha! That's what I wanted. It's a beautiful rhythm track.

Gracias, Reuben. I'll record something asap but I can tell you right now it's not going to be pure Flamenco.

Thanks maestro Kirk

thats precisely what it is about,to mix electric with acoustic,contrast of styles,an adventure in other words,in fact what most value that I learned from Paco is that,that variey is what makes beauty....


Thanks for the privilege of you participating,I did not expect this fortunate thing...

Regards

I loaded it up here Rio Ancho -- my collab with Ruben Díaz

Hope you like it!

Maestro Kirk:

I can only say BRAVO!,BRAVO!,BRAVO!.
I feel like if I know you all life!,Ole,Ole y Ole,with all my heart.
For people like you there are no limits,no prejudices...I admire you for this as well...this is how every true musician at least (IMO) should be:Open minded,and generous.
Thanks again for your music,and for making me and the audience happy,with this example of freedom!,and universal sensibility that you convey with your music! Gracias.
