This course is the definitive synthesis of 25 years of teaching experience at the Conservatory of Music in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
What began as decades of face-to-face academic instruction was transformed by the necessity of the 2020 pandemic into a structured, high-impact online learning system.
The challenge of teaching such tactile and rhythmic genres through a screen forced me to refine my pedagogical approach, ensuring that every movement, every "chasquido," and every rhythmic nuance is communicated with absolute clarity.
What you will learn
-------------------------
Designed specifically for guitarists who want to master the rhythmic heart of Argentine music, this course focuses on the three pillars of our folklore: Zamba, Chacarera, and Chamamé.
You will learn to "feel" and execute the accompaniment (the rasguido) with the authenticity of a local musician.
Each genre is approached through core concepts, musical examples, and step-by-step guidance to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
