Tangos- remate

Hi guys

I was wondering if anyone can show me a chord progression that would normally end in Tangos.

For instance, for Bulerias, I found F maj, C Maj , Bb and A to sound closure for it.

Thanks!

F, C, Bb, A works.
or F, Gm, that Gm7 chord with G# on the bottom, A
Or chromatically descending chords like this

0..0..0..0
5..4..3..2
0..0..0..3
5..4..3..2
3..2..1..0
x..x..x..3

Thats a G natural on the bottom.
Id call that an A b9/G since this Tangos is in A, and it will end on the I chord rather than the VII chord.

is Bb7

weird inversion, spelling 7, 3, 5, 1, 3, (and 6 if you play the top string - it doesn't usually sound though),

and technically it's an Ab on the bottom

if it's G, A, E, Bb, C#, E I would call it A7b9 (spelling 7, 1, 5, b9, 3, 5), as it has all the notes for calling it this, and you are also using it as an A chord.

if it only had notes G, E, Bb, C# then I would call it a diminished chord.

I know what it is but I didn't want to confuse him

I think of it as G# because it's a leading tone to A

Here's the chord in case he is still confused

3
3

3
5
4

Yeah, youre technically right i either would call it an A chord. However there is a diminished sound to it. Same thing when you have the G on the treble e, its also an A chord for me even when you dont play an A often in that chord just E-Bb-C#-G.
