You want the melody to be the most prominent. The melody is the upper voice as shown on the first two lines below.īalance the Voices. Then, when you add in the accompaniment you try to keep the legato melody as high quality as possible despite of the chord changes and fingering. You want to practice the melody on its own and get the phrasing and dynamic shaping to be as high quality as possible. The melody to Spanish Romance is the most important element in the piece.

Score Comments: The use of the E in measure 19 and 20 is used as a pedal point but feel free to play an F sharp with a barre at the 2nd fret if you prefer.

Comes with both a Notation-Only Edition and Tab Edition. If your student has trouble remembering the musical alphabet, then you need to put it on their lesson sheet for a few weeks, until they can say VERY QUICKLY 'A-B-C-D-E-F-G G-F-E-D-C-B-A!'īelieve me, saying the alphabet backwards fast is a lot of FUN.Spanish Romance (Romanza) – Free PDF Sheet Music or Tab for Classical Guitar with Free Performance and Video Lesson. Saying the alphabet is easy, right? But what about BACKWARDS? ' and stop to let them say 'D!' Then play Jingle Bells with those two chords. Hold up the hand, point to finger 1, and say, 'G. What happens if we change to the key of G? Help them think their way through it: The I chord would be G, of course, but then what would the V chord be? What about playing in a higher or lower key?Ĭan they change keys without using music? That is the strongest 'family' relationship of chords that there is!Įven if they are a little familiar with the concept of 'I' and 'V' chords going together, it is good to review every lesson. 'C, D, E, F, G.' Okay C is the first chord, and G is the fifth chord in that lineup. Talk about the I and V chords (1 and 5 chords), and hold up your fingers to count from C up to G. When your guitar player knows the timing of the chord changes, have them change to a different key with you. When they get to the half and whole notes, that turns line 2, for example, into 'Jingle all the way -2 -3 -4! O what fun it is to ride (in-a) one horse o-pen sleigh -2 -eigh - 4!' Learning more about chord relationships I recommend encouraging your student to sing the words as they play Jingle Bells guitar tabs - singing lyrics as they play will help keep them on the beat. Use the familiarity of this Christmas song to practice counting.

Your younger students won't be pleased about the F chord, in all likelihood, but they need to start working on it sometime!įor newbies, I always start with a 'little' F chord - 1 string, or 2 strings, or 3 strings. Okay, here's the fancier version with 4 chords: And phew! - almost all kids know this song, so it makes it much easier to learn! The fancier version Which is why familiar songs are so useful for beginner guitar players.īut at least there are lots of repeated notes, and the main note is an open string. No wonder beginning guitar players frequently feel a disconnect between what they intend, and the sounds that actually come out of the guitar!

and last of all the right hand must pluck the correct string!.

What struggles will a student encounter with this melody? Well I didn't say that the melody will be easy for a new flat-picker! Changing strings as it does, a beginner will probably struggle with it at first. Plus, the guitar tabs melody has lots of open string notes, making this song very easy to pick for a beginner, once they understand how tablature works. My newest students use the 'small C' and 'small G7' (see my Big Guitar Chords page ) in Jingle Bells, and the song sounds just fine. However, for a VERY new beginner, 2 chords to worry about is enough! It is true that the most satisfying arrangements of this Christmas song will have 3 or more chords (the I, IV, and V chords, and perhaps the V of V), not just 2 as I have in this version.
