The purpose of CFG Studio’s Grant / Grants is exclusively to encourage & render available to the public worldwide the culture of contemporary flamenco guitar, specifically the works related to Paco de Lucia’s contributions and innovations on the Spanish & compositional musical field as well as in the Flamenco-Jazz realm for guitar players, guitar teachers, composers and beyond.
Applicants must:
Submit a YouTube video-lesson or a bonafide & a publicly available book, article or lecture, either in English or Spanish language, in which it’s explained the very same subject that Maestro Ruben Diaz expounds in this video-lesson following, as well, a similar procedure to illustrate about the topic or subject (playing the examples over the chords & elucidating about it etc).
It’s mandatory that the material (either in video-lesson format or lecture, article, etc) submitted by the applicant has a date prior to June 12th, 2010.
The subject of this video-lesson is:
1)The way to describe melodically the chord progression
bVI7 , V7b9 in -at least 2 keys- for example: Em & Am.
Specifically utilizing: Whole Tone scale (including fragments of Whole Tone scale) , Minor Melodic scale & Semi diminished scales, all of them applied to the degree bVI7 (as innovated by Paco de Lucia) followed by the degree V7b9,
indicating -as well- from which degree (or intervallic value)
of the chord bVI7 the aforementioned scales should be played to properly go with it, and giving also the recommended & specific intervals of the degree V7b9 on which such a melody or musical phrase solves (according to the Paco de Lucia’s aesthetics) in at least 2 keys, for example: Em & Am as shown in this video-lesson.
Example:
For bVI7 use Whole Tone scale (or fragments of it)
from the Root or Tonic of the degree bVI7 & it’s enharmonic equivalences, in Tonal Region / Zone. The same model of explanation should be followed for the other 2 scales.
