Flamenco Chords Vol. 3

Harmonic Finger Roll

In this example, you'll use an enharmonic finger roll to reach both the G note and the D note under your middle finger by hyperextending the DIP joint. Pay close attention to the rotation of your elbow and positioning of your shoulder as you make this move to reach the two voicings under this shape. Take a look at the alternate fingerings and take your time working these chords to build the necessary dexterity in your fingers as you progress.

Jazz Double Stop

In "Jazz Double Stop", you'll be fingering two adjacent strings with the same finger. Starting off with E5, we'll use an unconventional fingering again utilizing the DIP joint of the pinky, freeing up the index finger to resolve the chord to the natural third. These are challenging to play, but open up a whole world of voicings for you if you put in the time to master the fingerings.

Jazz Double Stop

That's A Handful

This one is a handful. It shows you how you can move a pattern to a particular key in order to utilize an open string. When we choose our chord fingerings, we have to think about the movement of the individual notes within them, and the fingers we make available to reach them. This progression is based on a familiar flamenco progression that would ordinarily be played with a capo, but in this case we're moving the pattern into the open position to make use of the nut.

Strechy flamenco chords and backing tracks

This course give you a lot of time to solo over with Brad and stretchy flamenco chords. He in detail goes through every chord possible even across 2 CAGED shapes combined and gives some alterations to chords such as the b2 with major third. It is a useful introduction to a more latin mediterranean way of learning altered chords, rather than the Jazz sound a flamenco tradition, so somehow more friendly for rock metal sounds in the sense that the alterations are exotic phyrgian and less jazzy. Id recommend it to get beautiful sounding chords and if you are wanting to learn altered chords outside the jazz idiom,
