- Here's the next episode of Chordplay with Flamenco Guitar Chords.
I mentioned something about putting this lesson together recently in another video on the channel and had a very good response to that brief mention, so without further ado - here's the flamenco-focused lesson!
Flamenco guitar music is interesting to study for any guitarist, regardless of what style of music you normally play, as it commonly revolves around exotic and dark tonalities, which should feel right at home and normal for most rock, hard rock, metal, jazz, and fusion players, and even most classical guitarists also love flamenco guitar music as well, so you really can't go wrong with exploring a little of this style and seeing what sticks in your playing and overall approach.
This lesson is focused on locating/learning more about the tonality found in flamenco music, and while the intense rhythms and aggressive strumming techniques are a cornerstone of this style, in many ways you can view this lesson as a glimpse into this world with the distractive rhythmic elements removed, which will make things much easier to digest and truly understand the chords, chord progressions, and various tonalities flying around within flamenco guitar music.
You'll notice we're hitting all sorts of interesting things in this lesson and aside from the abundance of lush and exotic chord voicings/progressions that we're flirting with, you'll also gain some additional knowledge working with Harmonic Minor, Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant scales/modes.
These scales were recently featured in the 'Unlocking Exotic Scales' episode of Scales & Tales, so you can view this lesson as a chord-based extension of that material, as it's interlinked and related, but a matter of shifting the style of music and noticing we're using a lot of the same information in this lesson.

Great lesson. Thank you! Starts at 3:58 for those just tryin to hear and learn some guitar goodies
Awesome lesson - much gratitude 🙏🏽✨
Dave you have done what others have failed... demystifying the phrygdom harmin flip. Love this, and it's committed to memory. Probably the most important vid on my flamenco journey
one of the best guitar videos ive ever seen. great great work
OK, I've watched this video 5 times now. This is really impressive stuff. I a cheater finger picker and now I realize I have a lot of work to do. You've given me a pathway.
Kick ass lesson, Dave!
Just gets better and better 👍🏼 from Sydney, Australia
I'm ecstatic about watching and learning from this. Thank you!
Good God, Dave! Do you never sleep? Thanks so much for this outpouring of education. It’s inspiring!
Man how you are able to name those chords so fast on the spot without error very impressive. ..
...aaand now i need a classical guitar ... thanks Mr David.
For the first time in my life, I seen a Fender guitar commercial on television. And I know it is because, guys like you, giving great lessons on TH-cam. This is an excellent lesson. Thanks again Dave.
Great 👍 lesson, it’s raining were I live, and it’s almost like the athmosphere and tonality go in hand 👍🙏🎸
This is a great lesson. Thank you!
You made my day David. I got home from work to watch a video and, not only do I love flamenco, and A harmonic minor/ E Phyrgian...But there is no blinking red light on your amp this time, it always distracts my eye. Thanks David. You are beyond belief good at playing and teaching.
🍺’ski your are one of the coolest with that RTF in the background!👍🤘
“We’re not really going to worry about... (the most difficult part of Flamenco).”
😂
Cool stuff Dave, more unusual stuff always wanted by me...!!!
I know you weren't focusing on fingerpicking but I noticed your right hand. Great technique David.
Did I hear mention of Gypsy Jazz? A video on Django could be a nice intro to some jazzier voicings. Love your vibe, amigo!
Thanks for the overview, ..can't say i understood; but I can tell your knowledge is what I need . Thanks, again
David - guy - the way you have presented the approach to Hminor and phrygDom has unlocked great things for me. YOU LEGEND! 1x👍+🔔 right here!
ABSOULTLY AMAZING
Thanks for posting / sharing.
Man, I've wanted a lesson like this for years. Thank you so much. I find it hard to find anything that doesn't start off with the rythmic basics of the style. I think it's essential for authenticity in the style but it's a lot to go through in order to cop some sounds for your blues rock style. This is some great stuff to add to what I've already pucked up. Great work, and again, thank you!!
Very nice stuff delivered in a very cool way. Many thanks, Dave
damn I just dropped off my acoustic for a setup today and here is a sweet lesson
Watched this on my break. Very uplifting. I need to get a classical style guitar. Once again Dave you provided a fantastic lesson!
beautiful and dark; you have a poetic soul, and people like it.
Love this lesson. I always learn something new from your videos. 🤙🏻
I dig that Romantic Warrior, Return to Forever framed album.
Mine is signed by the entire band .......twice Corea saw it and said ive already singed it I said I know sign it again
hahahaha his signature was feint I still have it somewhere who gives a shit...
Great lesson! Thank you!
I was looking forward to this Late Night Lesson! Thanks, David!
Fantastic lesson, David! Thank you for this. Lessons like this are a great way to shake things up when feeling like you're stuck in a rut. I'd love to see a "3 licks" type lesson with these kind of chord progressions.
I must grab my guitar right now, this is amazing lesson.
Well done David! Been following for a while and still say this is hands down one of the best instructional channels on the YouTub. It’s strange, when I am kicking around a mode / flavor / idea. I take a break and try to keep my ideas fresh but every time I click on a new vid, it’s like we are brother from another mother. Dig the hell out of finger style classic and this has helped me add a little extra to what I have been picking around with. Job well done brother!!! Big up’s from the great state of Texas
I created an app ("Scales calculator") to do just that: harmonize different scales (major, harmonic minor, melodic minor and soon double harmonic) in any key, any mode. It helped me a lot to understand how harmony works. And now I understand what you are talking about when you harmonize the Phrygian Dominant scale 😄.
My favorite tonality. Love those chords!
You ROCK dude! I mean Flamenco. You FLAMENCO dude! Real nice lesson. Thank you!
Nice lesson, i love flamenco, going to come back to this episode and learn from it, thanks!
Love Flamenco! What a great pile of chord substitutions. So many cool voicings…wish I had time to pick up my guitar right now! Love your lessons. Thank you.
Dude, your lessons have really brought my playing up in a very short amount of time.
I like how you explain the notes and the full name of every chord.
Your Yngwie lessons really shot me into some new areas that gave me some confidence to try other and harder stuff.
I'm aghast, aghast I say, that Manitas DePlata wasn't listed...just kidding,of course..
Great lesson, bud...I love your laid-back presentation
Perfect timing Dave! I just got a nylon string guitar for Father’s Day, to reignite my passion for playing. this lesson will definitely help. Thank you.
This was fantastic in so many ways! You introduced the scale that I caught onto right away. And harmonic minor and phrygian mode make sense now and I love all the chord shapes and beautiful flamenco sounds. So well done! Thank you!
Excellent lesson! Got me all stoked on practicing my flamenco skills! Thank you, man!
Another great lesson!
i just got a nylon string from my friend...i told hom no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but one day it showed up, and playing electric, bass for 50 years, once I played, i fell in love with it. I will never be able to do the fast finger strums. so your less are great for prople like me. i won't be fooling anyone, but its a hobby. I just love the feel of the strings.
thank you!
Awesome! Please do more Flamenco! Thanx for this lesson!
The starting point of this lesson: "let's only focus on the right hand and not worry about the left hand strumming and rytmic issues" is a misunderstood approach when it comes to flamenco. So I would recomend to find other videoes if you want to start playing flamenco music on guitar. This is a comment that aims at improving the benefit that guitarplayers can get from flamenco introduction videos on TH-cam. I respect the work you did David:)
Great explanation flamenco is a great style, warm and soothing almost makes one forget the destruction of the Star Wars franchise.
Fantastic ! Thanks .
Dude, you are amazing. Literally composing so many beautiful pieces in real time. Thank you for sharing, but it's rough keeping up!
This is pretty much a summary of the chords john McLaughlin has played for 50 years on acoustic. Maj7#11 is a big part. Excellent to hear this beautiful stuff though. I totally love playing this way!! Thnx.
Big Jessie Cook fan.
Hi Dave! Love your videos. Really helpful and handy to learn new things. I'm from Spain and I have to say that, to me, there are 3 "flamenco kings". The first, Paco de Lucia, a guitar god, then Tomatito and Vicente Amigo. This last one has a really distinctive sound but really technical too, like Paco and Tomatito 🤘🏽
I will literally comment this a million times but you need to do a chord play on Eric Gales, specifically any time where he does the awesome complicated jazzy cascading chord progressions, please please please!
Friggin Brilliant! Is there a way we can plug some sort of USB cord from your noggin into mine and do a download! Love this! And everything else you post! Thank you!
Good lesson
I request a part II, this is really cool stuff.
Saved to My Favorites Thank you
Great, for me, one of the top 3 tutorial videos I've ever watched (carefully, and I usually do so). Fortunately the theme of this video is my favorite scale: Phrygian Dominant, though my really favorite scale I've been working on for some time is the A Phrygian Dominant/D Minor Harmonic. I've done my way alone in these group of Dominant Phrygian Scales, and this lesson has not only reassured me of my progresses, but also, great, has given me added perspective and knowledge on a scale I'm pretty familiar with. Great tutorial, calm, no hurries, but at the same time clear, incisive and straight to the point. A lot of new good ideas! Thanks a lot! Regards
Excellent!
You're lessons are the best.
I just wished you show some left hand close ups. Or a picture of some of the chord variations...
BUT, EXCELLENT STUFF MAN
Great lesson! I frequently noodle on a nylon-string -- all too often in some of the simpler aspects of Phrygian Dominant, so this will be immediately useful...
also, I want 10:21 as a ring-tone :-)
Haha! :D
Wow, the Amin add 9, (the first higher neck position chord you did)- I swear that sounds like the 1st chord by Triumph, Lay it on the. It's the same old story, all over again. I got started in flamenco style when Rik Emmett played his guitar solo on the Framus Ackerman electric guitar at the 83 US festival, on that video it got me hooked on the style.And I saw that tour in 83 in Pittsburgh, same deal. I think from the Never Surrender Album from 82. So I'm watching your vid and..Oh wow- deja Vu, I thought I invented the chord Bflat 6 sharp 11 at 17:47 , your teaching it! So funny! In my ditty, to make it feel happy, after the previous mentioned chord, I pair it with a 1st position D shape BUT open (GD string) shape so it's like this:starting at high E= 2 3 open open 2 x where X is the low E not played. Then I pedal (5 3) open open 2 x and it gives a Queensryche Silent lucidity type of sound. Then next chord is 11 open 3 open muted low E , then Amin 7 in 1st position, then E minor with a hammer on off on the 3rd fret high E lastly to A 7. Which resolves to a sound similar to the eagles (Certain kind of fool from Desperado.(He was a poor boy, raised in a poor family, part) Your video got me so stoked I had to type this all up. I used to come down to Evansville and work at the two hospitals down there for EP ablation Cryocath consoles used in Afib vein isolation procedures for Afib. I met so many nice folks down there, the whole town of Evansville is like a secret, an enclave of fabulous, warm, friendly people. I also go to Midwest Ear Nose and Throat for a balance machine that we maintain. I also spent a lot of time in Owensboro for that hospital down there. Love that drive from Evansville to Owensboro, and there's a good bbq place the locals taught me about. Its a little out of town but worth it. I hope to get down there if things settle down. Thanks for this video so much, discovered you last year.
Very nice and beautiful!
On the Flamenco note, Charo was one of the guitarist I recall seeing play on TV as a kid along with Chet Atkins and Roy Clark. Those 3 actually probably laid the foundation for my enjoyment of the guitar. And, then upon hearing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Who and Boston probably sealed the deal for my wanting to learn to play guitar myself. So, I can never forget how Flamenco actually was a very early inspiration and is perhaps why I enjoyed Rik Emmet's use of the style in a number of Triumph songs as well as Page's own use of the style in at least a couple LZ tunes, etc.
Can't discount the impact it has had on rock music over the years to say the least.😎
When I saw the notification for this the first thing that I thought of was The End by The Doors.
Brilliant. I took so much from this it's unbelievable. Great lesson David.
Ulrich Roth used the same progression on Scorpion's They Need a Million tune from Fly to The Rainbow album.
Fantastic lesson David - really A1!!! .....please more like this - and maybe Steve Stevens his instrumental "Run Across Desert Sands" is a flamenco master piece that caught my attention . Along with the Black Light Syndrome albums.
Terrific stuff, even you were struggling naming some of those chords.
Keep up the great Dave.
The thing is , flamenco players don’t name them the same way we do. They just know the shapes! He did a great job correctly naming some wild chords!
@@JasonJohnContos That's correct. If you play in E Flamenco (it's basically a nine to ten note scale) the just call it "por arriba" and then they play A minor , G major, F major and E major with all those four cords in all kind of shapes. And they are all just called A, G, F and E.
Now, this all sounds kinda Spanish or oriental. But only the rythm makes Flamenco Flamenco. Where the chord shapes are quite free, the progression and the rythm is pretty strict. There are about 80 different templates for rythms (palos) which you need to learn by clapping them first. The fretting hand is the easy part in Flamenco. The difficult part is the right hand technique.
Awesome video… a lot to unpack… you have a great mastery of theory and chords and the fretboard…those chords sound amazing. Any suggestions on how to maximize practice of these concepts and techniques? I have mastered the standard Malagueña but would love to adlib other “flavors” or runs and licks.
Phrygian Dominant in art pop: Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp (1970) by the Bronx genius singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. With jazz luminaries Alice Coltrane, Richard Davis (Out to Lunch, Astral Weeks), and Joe Farrell. The outro improv is incredible. Just a beautiful track.
I really enjoy the chord play series. Will you be covering close harmony or piano transcriptions to guitar? “a la” Ted Greene maybe. Loving the channel as always.
You just made me pick up my classical guitar my tamale lady gave me! Oh, by the way, Romantic Warrior in the back ground, one of my favorite classics! So damn good! Hey thanks for that lesson.
Brilliant
a great arpeggio study is the Arpeggio #1 in Em of Hector Villa Lobos, the pattern is very demanding and can be applied to other chords. Also learning picados from flamenco guitarists are great for developing new ideas for scale sequences.
That sounds interesting. Thanks.
Am (5:43) just index and anular
Emaj (G#m) (5:51) "
Ethude (6:07)
E7 (6:56)
You make lessons fun! Would be cool to have version of this with classical applications in Metal like classical parts from 7th son Maiden and Justice Album Metallica.
Steve stevens has a flamenco style album
"Flamenco A Go Go" Great Album. Would love to see David doing any Steve Stevens material here.
Steve Stevens also did 2 albums with Terry Bozzio on drums and Tony Levin on bass that feature moments of Stevens' Flamenco work!
Yeah that's an amazing album
tomatito (guitar) and camaron (singing) a must see
Muy bueno! :-)
Another great lesson Maestro! Can I request that you leave your visuals up a little while longer? They seem to help this visual learner out. Thank you!
First style I learned, until I heard Paco De Lucia and Tomatito.
Thanks Dave, another fine lesson, I play flamenco in the UK and often think the online teaching which usually concentrates initially on 'compas', the difficult rhythmic structure, and right hand techniques, even harder, puts learners off a bit but starting with some typically beautiful flamenco chords brings them in much better, great idea. And for a classical gtr that sounds quite flamenco: bright, dry - what make/model is it?
Yes what Model is the guitar please.
On that first Am scale, that's kind of a tough stretch for some from the 1st fret E string to the 5th fret B string... is it acceptable to modify that with same notes on other strings/frets? I have smallish hands and I'm not sure if forcing a painful stretch is wise. (or just conditioning?)
Tonino Baliardo - Gypsy Kings .
COUNTERPOINT LESSONS......OR MODAL ARPEGGIOS AND GUITAR TRICKS WITH THEM
What model La Patre is that? Very nice!
How do u like the Godin. Is that the Motif?
How do u name those chords soo fast...? Can you do a lesson pleaseeeeee ...? :(
Great lesson but way too advanced for me. I will save and come back in a few years. We have the same guitar Le Patrie Etude I think. Nice! I will be back 😅
they have everything in Japan
Thanks, you've obviously spent a lot of time exploring Flamenco. There are some great progressions and tips there. I'll be revising this video many time.
I have been thinking of the flamenco scale (9-note scale - check this explanation th-cam.com/video/QG-8BHhd59Y/w-d-xo.html ) as the Byzantine scale and then add the flattened 7th and 3rd to include the phrygian. I became aware that the notes of the Byzantine scale are all accounted for if you play a major 7th arpeggio and then a second major 7th arpeggio from the 2b. Discovering these two arpeggios opened up new ways of moving around in it for me though maybe not in he Flamenco tradition, and then some phrygian 'licks' need adding of course.
Hi, is your guitar Mohagany body. Thanks !
How many decades did it take you to become such a chord genius...?🤔
What type of guitar are you playing?
La Patrie, looks like.
I feel like homer starting with advanced physics, when I should've started with the dictionary
