Alright, we're looking at Oblivion by Piazzolla.
And in this arrangement, you have to be very conscious about what the melody is doing.
So it's a lot of work for the right hand.
So as you play that melody that is there on [F#] top
[A#] [E]
[A#] [A#]
[Cm] [A#]
[B] [Cm] [A]
[G] [F#] Alright, so that's the most important part.
[A#] Now as we play the other parts, you have to be very careful with your thumb and with your fingers
as you do the other melodies, the other parts of voicings that we've [Bm] got in there.
[G]
[Em] [B]
[Em] [Bm] Okay.
[Em] [E]
[F#] [Bm]
[E] [Bm]
[F#] Even that was a little [G] bit large in
[B] [Em]
[A] Then your main [E] melody comes in.
[F#] [Fm]
[Bm] [G]
[E] [Em] [C] Difficult, right?
[Em]
[F#] [Cm]
[F#] [Bm] [Em]
[E]
[D]
[Gm] [C]
[F#] [Em]
[B] [A]
[G] [F#] [E] And again, right?
[F#] [E] Now let's talk about the rhythm of the [Cm] milonga, which you actually have present here.
And bring a little bit of attention to that [A#m] inside voice.
[Em] [Cm]
[F#]
[E] Right?
So that's your [F] driving force inside of that tango.
That's the milonga that is just pushing you forward.
Be very careful when you practice this.
So as you have the voices, what tends to happen normally when somebody is learning a piece like [F#] this is
[Em]
[F#] [Em] Right, so try to be very, very slow as you learn this.
[Bm] [B]
Now you're set up there with [F#] three.
For your next movement, you're going to [F] bring three down to the G string.
So as you're coming [F#] in
[E] [Em]
[F] And as you do this, be very [Bm] gentle with that G string that's [E] playing that B there
[Em] because you really want [A#] that voicing to actually come down.
It's a suspension that you cannot hold just because of the elocution,
because you're playing it in a different way.
You cannot [F] really easily stretch that much.
So that's much more difficult.
[F#]
[B] [Em]
[F#] [Em]
[Fm]
[F#] [Em] [Fm]
[A] [Em] [Dm]
Phrase [G] extension.
[C]
[F#]
[Bm] Sorry, I failed to get that G.
[Em] Right, you want that B, A, [A#m] G to really be part of that descending line.
So you're going [C] to
[F#] [Em]
[B] [A] Descending tetrachord.
[G] [F#] [E]
And that gets you back.
[A#] Be very careful with all your
