Believe me, it's actually much easier than it looks.
And if you follow this short lesson, you will be able to play [G] the rumba in no time.
In this lesson, we will work on a basic version of the rumba.
The chords I was playing in the intro [A] were A minor, _ [Am] _ _
_ _ G major, [G] _ _ _ _
F [F] major and _ [G] E major.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ Before we begin, I wanted to talk about a few things.
First, if you break your guitar, it will be your fault.
_ No, seriously, when using the golpe technique, which is hitting the guitar body with your
hand, you don't need to use a lot of power.
So be careful when you do.
And if you want to protect your guitar, I advise you to use a pickguard.
_ _ Second thing is practicing quietly.
If you don't want to have trouble with your neighbors, I suggest you to mute the strings
with your left hand, like this, _ _ _ [G] _
_ instead _ [Am] of_ _ _
[N] Which is louder.
Anyway, if you're a beginner, you want to keep your attention on your right hand.
_ Finally, your nails.
They don't need to be super long, but having longer nails will help if you want to practice
the classical guitar.
_ Enough talking, let's get started.
So this is [Ab] the [G] pattern we will be working on. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] First step, we are going to use our thumb and we will be playing the A minor chord.
[Am] _
_ _ _ _ So it's actually pretty easy.
We will start by a downstroke, _ _ _ followed by an upstroke, _ _ and again, same thing, a downstroke
and an upstroke. _ _ _ _
Please make sure you are hitting all 6 strings.
Ok, now again, slowly. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Ok, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] now a bit [Am] faster. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Step _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ 2, _ _ the goal play technique.
So this is the part where we actually hit the guitar.
So we've just played the upstroke, [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] your hand is already in place to play the goal play.
The thing is, you just need to slightly hit _ the guitar body with your hand, just like
you are trying to grab something.
[Ab] Let's say [G] a glass of water for example.
So [Am] again, _ the upstroke, _ my hand is in place and I play the goal play.
_ _ Ok, again, slowly.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now _ step 1 and 2 slowly. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And goal play. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now a bit faster. _ _ _
_ _ Last _ _ _ and _ _ [N] _ _ final step.
We are going to use our index [C] finger and I want you to hit the last 3 strings of your guitar.
Just like this.
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ So remember, [D] we are coming from that goal play position, here.
And I want you to keep your thumb in place.
Don't move your hand.
So it goes like [Am] this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Again.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Ok, remember, keep your thumb in place.
A bit faster. _ _ _ _
Again. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Now step 1, 2 and 3 slowly.
_ _ [Am] _ And _ _ _ _ goal play. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A _ bit faster. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
done!
You've just learned the Spanish Rumba and you can be proud of your Spanish.
But be proud of yourself.
_ _ _ _ Please [Gb] bear in mind [Ab] that there are many ways to play the Rumba.
There isn't a right or wrong way to do it.
And with time you will improve your skills and [G] even come up with your own style, who knows.
[N] What I did in this video is to show you a short introduction to flamenco strumming.
Needless to say, you will have to practice regularly to get better.
You can become a maestro overnight.
_ Well, I hope that you enjoyed this video.
I would really appreciate if you could like and share this video as it takes a lot of time to make [Fm] one.
