Marionas - Guerau || Chord Progression / Strumming / Picking (Patreon)

The marionas was a common chord progression in the baroque period, mainly in Spain. Guerau published his version of the marionas in tablature format. This progression is the first 4 bars and we don't see it again. However, performers repeat the progression through the 18 variations wherever they see fit to make it longer, more exciting, and add cohesion between the variations

Also, since the strumming pattern was considered common knowledge, Guerau didn't bother writing it for us. Luckily, with a bit of google research we can figure it out and apply it to our own performance

- The chord progression of Marionas by Guerau and the relationship between the notes in the progression in relation to F Major key

- The strumming pattern of a Marionas progression

- Two variations upon the strumming pattern including percussion

- Fingerpicking pattern using the progression

For beginner to advanced players, work on Low G and Baritone ukulele. For high G player, the fingerpicking pattern won't work but the strumming would

Background information:

This progression is the first 4 bars and we don't see it again. However, performers repeat the progression through the 18 variations wherever they see fit to make it longer, more exciting, and add cohesions between the variations

Personally, I consider this a golden piece to learn with tons of pedagogical value. The progression is just the surface of it. I'll definitely make a tutorial for the whole thing in an advanced course in the near future

Good luck!
