Spanish Guitar New Flamenco Guitar Chord Progression in Dm
Hey, there!
Welcome back.
I'm Tomas Michaud and I've gotta cool little flamenco type chord progression for you.
This is that kind of new world flamenco that you'll hear on a lot of my albums.
This is a fairly simple progression but with just a couple of little flare is what makes
it sound little more interesting and exotic.
We're gonna do four chords and we're gonna take it nice and slow so for now forget about
the strum.
I'm just showing you the chord progression in this video.
Strum will come later.
For now, just make a nice D minor chord.
I'm gonna use my pinky on this D minor because I need that pinky there for it later on.
So it's the first finger on the first string first fret.
Second finger stretches over to the third string second fret and then my pinky on the
second string third fret.
Okay, so just strum that.
Make it sound good.
It's good to know this chord, nothing else you'll learn a couple of cool chords.
Now the second chord #2, leave your pinky right there and stretch over your third finger
to the fifth string third fret, that's the C note and your second finger is gonna be
on the fourth string second fret.
Listen to the chord and then they call that C add 2.
There's a couple of ways you could call that.
For now, let's call that C add 2 that's a good name C add 9, C add 2 for now, same note
2 and 9 so try those two chords with me.
D minor with your pinky, got it?
C add 2 so get those two chords before we go on.
D minor, I got my finger on that second string third fret, first finger on the first string
first fret and that's my second finger over there on the second fret of the third string.
Okay, all the notes sound nice and clear.
It's okay to stop the tape and work on a little bit so let's go on C add 2 that a nice open
and sounding chord.
The pinky on the second string there third fret, third finger on the fifth string third
fret.
I got the second fret there covered on the fourth string with my second finger not really
hitting the base below sixth string.
I'm just kinda avoiding that.
Don't stress over that.
Going on the third chord, were going to stretch the second finger over to the third fret sixth
string leaving my pinky right there where it has always been, second string third fret
and my third finger is squeezing in there next to it on the fourth string third fret
and open E on the high string.
Listen to this (strumming) cool!
G minor 9 that's a pretty name for that chord so it pace to go from the C to this because
you leave the pinky there and then kinda serves as the anchor finger so I'm gonna show you
the fourth chord and then we will do all four from the beginning.
A - you can go like that -- 1, 2, 3 fingers but I like to make my A there with my first
finger covering two strings on the second fret and the second finger covering that second
fret second string.
Just an A chord, A major -- later video will fancy that a little bit.
For now, A will work just great so do that G minor 9 again sixth string, I gotta third
covered with my second finger.
First finger is not playing anything, couple open strings then on the third string, I got
my third finger third fret yeah third string and then second string I got the pinky on
the third fret and open first string, really exotic sounding chord then to a regular A,
completed like that if that's where you use to it.
For now, I go with A where you use to.
You can try something different later, I think its progression.
Okay, let's do it nice and slow once through.
D minor with the pinky, play it.
C add 2, stretch that third finger over, fifth string third fret were all open not detonate
strings, stretch over that second finger to the sixth string third fret, squeeze the second
finger on third string third fret.
The pinky stay in there the whole time until you get to the A okay more, that's where I
used to do good.
Look at it again, D minor play with me, C add 2, G minor 9 and then the A. Okay, rewind
the tape.
Go through it slowly.
Get those chords that they sound good with a little different strum straight down four
times but quickly, I'm gonna show you what we're aiming at (strumming).
Okay, looking forward to see you in my other videos.
I'm Tomas Michaud.
Take care for now.
