Guitar: Solea & Tangos (Beginning)

Beginning level flamenco guitar class. In this class we are working with two flamenco palos (song forms), Solea and Tangos. Solea is one of the slower palos, with a 12-beat compás and played in a phrygian key. Tangos is a fun por fiesta (party) palo in 4/4 with a medium tempo. We’ll continue to develop classic flamenco right hand techniques: pulgar (thumb), arpeggio, rest stroke picado, rasgueo, abanico, and marcajes (marking patterns). 

This is a continuing class from the Winter Session. New students please get in touch to join the waitlist for the next Introduction to Flamenco Guitar series or to schedule private lessons. Nylon string guitar required.
