Lesson

This etude should give you some chordal ideas.

My student Dan asked me for a chord etude on this tune. So here it is with the rhythms.

The tune: If I Should Lose You

Assignment: right in the chord symbols and analyze what I'm doing.

@Dan, why don't you write up something about this? And why don't you play it and record it and post your version. My chords then your chords.

@Everyone else: Why don't you check this out and think of some questions. I'm asking if you have questions. I'm asking you to think of questions. Create some dialogue.

What a great tune Flamenco Sketches is for working on chords and chord melodies. There is no melody so it's all you! I love practicing this tune.

You can do it!

A very simple idea, but check out the pdf and work this through all the keys.

If you're more advanced try and figure ways to solo on this as well.

Correction - Think of the D mixlydian phrygian chord as a D triad with an Eb.

Attached is an example of how to play The chord part of Flamenco Sketches on the vibes.
