The Saddest Thing you can Play on Guitar

Italian Waltz

Today I had a ton of fun recording this beautiful Italian Waltz on my acoustic guitar.

This is definitely one of the saddest music you can play on guitar and the fact that it is a waltz it is definitely not a coincidence.

The chord progression is mainly played using minor chords with the only exception of a perfect cadence V -I where the dominant chord (V) is E major.

There is also another dominant chord that resolve on the D minor and this is the A major on bar n.9

I personally love this style of music even though I don’t really play it too often.

Enjoy this quick performance.
