alegria tirititran in minor?????
Hello, does anybody have experience with the TIRITITRAN intro in minor? Otherwise the letras are basic alegria. I've never heard it and Im wondering can I just play it with Em and H7, or how does the melody go. I would need to be able to play it on saturday and I havent found even any examples from youtube. No practice possible with the singer but only just before the gig And there are dance students so it needs to be the same cante they've practiced. All the help is much appreciated!

Have you got an audio sample/video?
no, not in the moment. I would need one for figuring out the chords. The original guitarist cannot do the gig, so I promised to back him up. Thats why I havent heard it yet.

I've never played an Alegría starting in a minor key... can't think of any examples either.
The singer is from jerez, maybe its some kind of local thing..?, I have no idea.

I don't think that's in minor? Either way, the chords are E7 (with an F on the D string rather than open, not sure the name), followed by F, G, back to F, then back to G7 and C. Those are the chord positions rather than the actual chords since the capo is on the second fret.
