In this lesson, we are going to play a lovely Latin melody. We are going to be using a lot of different techniques. The song starts with the thumb. We also have strumming and rasgueado. And obviously, alternate fingering for the melody.
It’s a beautiful melody in A major, and after doing a little research, I think I can say that it does sound quite close to the Mariachi style, which is one of Mexico’s most popular music styles.
It a lovely popular music style and it’s very entertaining to play. It’s mainly played with strings instruments such as violins and guitar, but the trumpet is also very popular.
One of the most characteristic instruments used for the Mariachi music is the Guitarron Mexicano, which is a huge six strings acoustic bass.
Enjoy this lesson.
