Hey guys, welcome back to another tutorial. Today I am going to show you how to play this beautiful classical piece by Santiago de Murcia called Menuet (or Minuet).

I love the clever counterpoint so characteristic of 1700. The melody is soothing and straightforward moving between the chords with elegance and rhythm.

One of the challenging things about this music is the plucking thumb, which plays the bass notes up to the B string (2nd string). This is a skill not everyone has as the thumb is usually used to pluck the low E, A, and D string.

Apart from that, the melody should be easy to play, and the rhythm is quite straightforward.

The lesson is broken down into three sections. Take it step-by-step and practice one part at a time if need.

Enjoy this lesson.
