Paco Cepero rumba and tangos Chord p...

I am not very good at transcribing music, so I seek your advice.

Can one of you tell what are the chord progressions on these videos(played by Diego Amaya):

thanks and enjoy !

tele in both pieces they use a chord progression you should identify while you sleeping.
It just practicing! you won't get a good ear by let the others make the work for you. Only if you have good ears you have the possibility to become a good musician.
You will notice, after figuring out what they play, your ability to hear has already improved. your understanding of music is about to get into another dimension when you learn to listen.

Just saying that because I was also kind of lazy in the past.

The chord inversions/positions especially I see on video I can't figure out by myself. I already know what you said. I would appreciate some help. I will practice that's clear by itself no need to mention it!

Yeah that's the same as in entre dos aguas 2nd part, that one I figured out already. However it's not through the whole song(s). What would the other progressions be?

That's a tall order, you have any laundry they can do for you while they're at it?

Just in case there's golden ears out there who can do it quickly(more or less) and have interest in helping out. If someone can help me out, please do. Otherwise please no off-topic discussion.

I do not have bionic ears but after searching 10 sec in YT [

] I came across this -- Go to around 19 min for the chords progression (or better @ 28min).
Do not hesitate if you have some preguntas...

Hah, bitchin'. Youtube is really great. THANKS!

Now if someone can help me out with the tangos rhythm guitar... Correct me if I'm wrong but it's quite usual tangos rhythm guitar sequence when playing with two guitars?

Anyone? What would be otherwise the normal chord progression when playing tangos with two guitars? Other than the Bb-A? Thanks

Dm - C - Bb - A

Typical embellisments are

Instead of Dm play F Bb D E, and hammer on the F on the first string.
Instead of C play C9 with an open E string
Instead of Bb play it with an open D string and open high E string
For the A use the Bb to hammer on

Its basically the cadence andaluz por medio...

Moving back and forword between these Bb and C9 flamenco chords is quite common i think for when you play the Bb - A progression.

Cheers

I agree it's kind of stupid to call the note A# there, so i'll edit it :)
