Chords for Recuerdos de la Alhambra Tutorial 1

Alright, so we're doing a kind of a preparatory introduction for Recuerdos de la Alhambra.
Beautiful piece.
We're going to start with the main chord.
We're not going to do tremolo here.
I would rather you do tremolo on [D] my diminished exercise, which is not mine by the way, it's
actually Juan Serrano.
You just play [G#] [C#] in _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] between each thumb [G#] stroke you're going to [Dm] do plant mute.
_ [C#] _ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _ [Dm] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Always remember to plant mute after [A#m] every execution.
Index of thumb is [C#] crucial.
So _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] it's always best to practice technique on an exercise and learn the music, then once
you actually have the technique, apply it to the music.
The way we're going to do this is we're going to do the movable part of the chord.
First chord [Am] is here.
It's an A minor chord.
[A] One is on the D string, [N] three is on the G string, four is on the B string.
Second chord [Bm] is just a transitory chord. _ _ _
This [G] is two on the B string, three on the G string.
Second position, just like before.
And then you're going to [Am] get to A minor.
_ Again, your [D] transitory chord, and then you're in [Am] your first chord.
Now, take a look at your transitory chord.
You're going to move it over to [Dm] fifth position, _
[G] and then move [C] two frets over, with one directly
over on the sixth string.
Right?
So you have this [Am] chord, [D] transition, _ [Am] transition, [Bm] _ [Am] first chord, second transition.
[Dm] _ Take over the [C] transition, without the three first, _ then [Dm] second transition.
Now, next chord [N] is a C major chord.
Three and four are stacked like before.
You had one on the D string before, on the E.
Now, [C] it's going to be one on the A bass.
Right?
And you're going to [Dm] play with that.
[C] _ Now, as you [G#] apply the separation of notes to just practice what you're doing with your
bass, after each thumb stroke, we're going to replace the tremolo by just plucking the
tremolo [A] note with the ring finger.
[Am] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] A minor again, _ [Bm] transition, [Em] arrive [Am] on A minor, _ _ _ string out there, _ _ _ second [Dm] transition, [G] _ then
arrive [C] on the first C major, open G, left string.
_ It's important to remark that you _ _ [N] _ _ have one and two both on the eighth fret.
One is on the E bass and two is on the [C] B string. _ _
_ _ [G] Right?
_ [C] C major chord.
_ _ So you keep on playing third string open and on on the B string.
[G] Transition.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ Now, very [Am] slowly, this is how that goes. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Practice that.
Make sure that you practice the tremolo separately.
Get comfortable with the chords and when you
