Flamenco — Guitar

The guitar is right at home in bolero, flamenco and rumba; in salsa and tango it plays a smaller part, since those lean on piano, brass or the accordion-like bandoneón. 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.
