    Hello from Spain. I think it is a lot simpler, and more accurate to point out that the greater part of Flamenco, the majority of Palos, are in the Andalusian Cadence. Am, G, F, E. E is the tonic. E resolves, unusually for western musicians who would normally resolve on Am. In order to harmonise the Andalusian Cadence you need the Flamenco Scale, which is NOT the Phrygian scale, although it contains it. The Flamenco scale which fully harmonises the Cadence is a 9 note scale; E, F, G, G#, A, B, C, D, D# > leading. Learn that up and down the fretboard. play with it. Related chord progressions vary according to Palo, so; Am, A7, Dm, Am, Emaj is a Sevillana.
    The harmonic possibilities of Andalusian Cadence are immense.

    This is an excellent introduction to playing Phygian scales on the the guitar! What I really like is how you paced the lesson and provided various ways for players at different skill levels to gain insights into this scale. I like to see the way you explain the note names and introduce people to concepts like intervals and chord tones. I have been playing guitar for a very long time. And I learned a few concepts I had not put together from this lesson! Thank you for this lesson.

    Super excellent !!
    1. Great job, great playing, great teaching
    2. Suggestion: never say “real quick”. It diminishes what you’re saying. We’re not in a hurry and we love to learn new things.
    3. I’ll add that it’s a C major scale, starting from the 3rd note.
    Notice that it’s really just frets 0-1-3 on the 6th, 1st & 2nd strings (and you’re halfway there) then 0-2-3 on the 5th & 4th and finally
    0-2 on the 3rd string.
    Thanks for being a positive part of our collective teaching/learning musical quest.

    • @periodtrialbalance
      @periodtrialbalance 4 роки тому +1

      @@MarcAbela Hi - You don't take the ABRSM music grades online - It's a one to one test with a music examiner held at various locations in the UK. The main marks are for playing 3 pieces of guitar music from a prescribed list which are each marked out of 30 marks and then you have to play various scales from a prescribed list (from memory) then there is a music "sight reading" test where you're given between 6 to 9 bars of music you've not seen before (no tab) and you're given 30 seconds before you're required to play it and finally an "aural" test where you're required to play or sing back a melody placed twice by the examiner and sing notes from score in free time etc - you can find out more at www.abrsm.org - I would recommend a few lessons with a good guitar teacher first but I found taking my grades 3 and 4 really improved my guitar playing and my understanding of music theory and being able to play more stuff "by ear" etc

      I would have also loved to give it a go, irony has it that I am precisely visiting the UK (London) this week, so would have I been a bit more organized I could have tried to set something up for this week... it'll be for next time. I definitely can relate though to how chasing little exams sometimes can provide for the structure I might miss in my daily routines of practicing... thanks for the ABRSM link, will look into the website, it does contain info about the exam and also the way marks function (on the ""what-is-a-graded-music-exam" page, as I am diving into the website slowly). Can't wait for the day they start to offer these things online... it'll be good for a lot of people out there, but also good maybe for their own exposure (I imagine). Cheers.

    You can use the G# if you want to give it a bit more middle eastern flair. Arabian music uses the Phrygian scales a lot but with the G# and just some hammer ons and pull offs.
    Edit: by the way, I’m glad I found your channel! You give very useful information in a palatable format!!

    I think of as chord borrowing from the parallel key. Melodic minor scale, harmonic minor scale, and the double harmonic minor and major scale. I tend to barrow scales from the parallel key as well. Modulations are fun to use with flamenco.

  • @educostanzo
    @educostanzo 4 роки тому +2

    That's an amazing lesson. The Phrygian dominant, which is the Phrygian scale with the #3rd is one of my favorite scales to improvise, it's so full of character and such a distinctive sound. I'd like to know about more about chord progressions that would work well with this type of scale. I like to use the I-II (i.e. E-F) a lot but it doesn't have much motion to it.

    • @FlamencoExplained
      @FlamencoExplained  4 роки тому +5

      Hey! By far the most common progression would be A-7, G7, F Lydian, E, though triad work really well also. And then you can add secondary dominants to get A-, D7, G, C7, F, E and on and on. Have fun with it!
