Malaguena, or Spanish dance, is named after the town of Malaga in south of Spain. It is in triple meter and similar to fandango.

This lesson covers a South Louisiana take on country guitar inspired Jerry Reed, Tony Joe White, and James Burton. The keys to this sound are the hammer-ons and slides from the minor 3rds to the Major 3rds and snappy chicken picking mutes with bluesy pentatonic scales stressing the dominant 7.

Taranta is a song of the Miners from the south of Spain, very serious sounding and a good left hand exercise. It is also a typical Flamenco Repertoire introduction. Its such a cool technique (the hammer ons and pull offs combined) that I just had to learn it and I'm sure when you hear it for the first time, you will want to play it as well.
