Recently dug up my old and suffering nylon string guitar. Wiped off the dust and replaced the strings, tuned it up and told it that I loved it
though not sure it believed me after so many years of neglect!
Why? Well I’m into this new guitar style used in Mexico where they serenade the girl in the old films. If you’ve ever seen one then you’ll know the sound I’m talking about.
It’s not that hard to do but sound really good. The course I’m working with to accomplish all this is aprender a tocar la guitarra. The lessons are actually in English with Spanish subtitles so it’s still very easy for me to follow along. The guy actually lives in Mexico and decided to put this course out there. Nice idea.
The chords you use area the standard ones like E, Am, Dm, G, C, F, B7 and so forth but the way they progressions are structured just give off a gorgeous sound especially when you combine with a technique of alternating the bass notes on top of the chords.
Once you start to get the hang of that you get the classic sound instantly which is such a cool effect! My best advice is to give it a shot yourself and see how it goes for you.
