How To Play Malague�a On Guitar For Beginners - Part 1
Hey there, I�m Tomas Michaud. In this video, I�m gonna teach you a simple version of
Malaguena this is part 1. If you want to see both part 1 and part 2, you can check on my
website. I put the link in the description and by the way I�ll put a free download
of the tabs and notes also if you like so let�s have some fun with this, come on.
We will start with the simplest version of Malaguena just to work on the fingerpicking
pattern. The pattern is thumb and first finger, sounds like this (strumming) so start with
the partial E chord on the left hand. This will be a full E and I�m just gonna use
my first and second fingers. First finger on the third string first fret and then next
on the fourth string second fret now my right hand � thumb and then first finger. Start
with the fourth string � thumb and then pick the first open string then the third
string, thumb again, same string on the first finger and second string so its 4, 3, 2. All
the time, Im picking the first string with my finger. Try it with me. Start with the
thumb P and the first finger I � P I now third string I and second string.
Lets go on to the next chord, it�s a partial A minor. This will be a full A minor. Youll
just gonna use your first two fingers. It looks very similar to the chord we did before,
moves over one string so Im done with the first fret on the second string with my first
finger and then my second finger on the third string second fret and this one, were gonna
have some movement so its (strumming) � that�s the third string and then the second string
and then back to the first chord (strumming) so its basically going down the scale. First
finger, open and third string second finger then open now the third finger and back to
the E chord, partial E chord so try that match with me. First finger on the first fret second
string, here with your thumb and then open first string now open second string, second
finger third string, open, third finger fourth string and then make that partial E chord.
Okay try it with me now start with the E nice and slow ready go. Move forward to the E minor
form, hit the third string second string open and then back to E. Lets do it again, A minor.
