Zamba on guitar

Zamba on guitar: the strumming pattern “6/8 rasgueo”, in 6/8, with audio on its own page. On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony.

From Argentine folklore, the zamba is slow and graceful, a courtship dance in triple rhythm — that is, three beats per bar, here at a serene pace. On this page you'll find the style's strumming patterns, the figures that capture its poised, expressive elegance.
