Chordplay - Flamenco Guitar Chords

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with Flamenco Guitar Chords.
I mentioned something about putting this lesson together recently in another video on the channel and had a very good response to that brief mention, so without further ado - here's the flamenco-focused lesson!

Flamenco guitar music is interesting to study for any guitarist, regardless of what style of music you normally play, as it commonly revolves around exotic and dark tonalities, which should feel right at home and normal for most rock, hard rock, metal, jazz, and fusion players, and even most classical guitarists also love flamenco guitar music as well, so you really can't go wrong with exploring a little of this style and seeing what sticks in your playing and overall approach.

This lesson is focused on locating/learning more about the tonality found in flamenco music, and while the intense rhythms and aggressive strumming techniques are a cornerstone of this style, in many ways you can view this lesson as a glimpse into this world with the distractive rhythmic elements removed, which will make things much easier to digest and truly understand the chords, chord progressions, and various tonalities flying around within flamenco guitar music.

You'll notice we're hitting all sorts of interesting things in this lesson and aside from the abundance of lush and exotic chord voicings/progressions that we're flirting with, you'll also gain some additional knowledge working with Harmonic Minor, Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant scales/modes.

These scales were recently featured in the 'Unlocking Exotic Scales' episode of Scales & Tales, so you can view this lesson as a chord-based extension of that material, as it's interlinked and related, but a matter of shifting the style of music and noticing we're using a lot of the same information in this lesson.
