Romanza (Romance) is a standard classical tune in the key of E minor and E major. The piece has 2 parts, the first being in Em and then shifts to an E major section. There is no particular arrangement for this song. It is open to interpretation and being creative on your own. It has been performed many different ways by arranging the 2 parts. This is a complex classical style tune and I highly recommend studying Volume 12 on finger picking before attempting this piece.

In this lesson we will learn a basic rendition of the Malaguena. Malaguena is a very popular Spanish classic.  There are many versions out there but it very pliable in its arrangement.  As you will see in the Malaguena guitar tab and lesson it uses a repetitive picking pattern between the thumb and 1st or 2nd finger.

Great piece to learn for beginners to intermediate classical players. Basically consists of 2 sections that repeat.

This is a great classical style piece to learn as a beginner in the fingerstyle / classical genre.
