Flamenco — Electric guitar

Bolero, salsa and flamenco grew up around warm nylon strings, so the electric is a guest here, better suited to modern, pop-leaning versions than to the traditional sound. There's a harmonic color that instantly evokes southern Spain: the dramatic intensity of flamenco, a music of clapping, song and dance charged with emotion. Here you'll study the Andalusian cadence — which simply means the descending four-chord sequence that gives the style its unmistakable flavor.
