Hello, GMC! Here is another Prelude by Frederic Chopin.

In the last lesson, I showed you Prelude Nr. 7 in D major, originally in A major on the piano. Now, this is Prelude Nr. 20 in C# minor, originally in C minor.

As Nr. 7, this was also arranged for the guitar by Francisco Tarrega. It looks like this is playable in the original key of C minor on the guitar. I don't really know why Tarrega transposed it one step higher.

Anyway, it sounds very effective on the guitar. It consists of a series of block chords. In the middle of the piece, the chord progression gets chromatic and it's so beautiful.

It is not easy to play block chords connected each other on the guitar. And each note of a chord must be well balanced. I will show you how!
