Lesson Notes

Farruca is a form of Spanish flamenco music. The word means ‘brave’ or ‘daring’ and these qualities may be seen in

the moves the male dancers use when performing a farruca with a guitarist – it may help to imagine you are playing

this piece for a dancer! For that reason, although the tempo is slow at about 1/4 note beat = 75, the strumming parts and

the arpeggios must be accurate and rhythmically correct to support the feeling of a dance.

A 2nd year beginners-level piece, this is for students who have developed some free stroke arpeggio technique, and can

manage to hold down some basic 1st position chord shapes on the fingerboard.

Main Points:

• Spend some time on the little practice exercise to get comfortable with the right-hand thumb and index finger

strumming pattern. At first, the index finger will not sweep across the top 3 strings very precisely on the up

and down strums. It is better to almost ‘strike’ the strings with this action rather than treat it as a strum.

• In the 1st bar - hold the A and C fretted down for the whole bar, and work the bass notes around them.

• In the 2nd bar - hold the G# fretted down for the whole bar, and again work the bass notes around it.

• Repeat these same left-hand movements whenever they come about again ( e.g. bars 3 and 4 etc).

• In bar 9, be sure to fret down at the beginning of the bar, the full 3 finger chord shape of the A minor chord

(this occurs again in bar 11).

• In bar 10, follow the exact left-hand fingering for the D minor chord.

• For the final chord (bar14); place the left index finger down flat across 3 strings at the 5th fret. Then pluck

these notes (ami) with the bass note ( p) to sound the chord.
