JOHN TAPELLA PRESENTS	Spanish Flamenco Speed Style
	Flamenco is played on a nylon string guitar made with extremely light wood, which gives a brighter tone. You may also use an electric for the shred rock effect. The music most often utilizes the E Phrygian-dominant scale (E-F-G#-A-B-C-D), also known as the Spanish-Flamenco scale because of its strong association with this style. Other scales include E Phrygian-major (E-F-G#-A-B-C-D#, and E Phrygian (E-F-G-A-B-C-D), which allow for moody chord changes like Am to Em and a variety of open string skipping variations. This excerpt begins with natural harmonics on the fifth, seventh and twelth frets. The harmonic section leads to an E5 chord with a quadrupled root and doubled fifth, which lingers into measure 3. In measure 4, an ascending E minor based riff with seven notes per beat swiftly rises all the way to the twelth fret, then descends through a D#diminished scale (D#-F#-A-C) in measures 5 and 6.
