Flamenco Explained - The Guitarist's Survival Guide

66 Essential Flamenco Guitar Chords

A free reference PDF from Kai Narezo of Flamenco Explained — chord diagrams for Por Medio (A Phrygian), Por Arriba (E Phrygian) Por Granaína & Por Taranta.

This PDF Gives you…

  • The common chords you already know — plus the weird-looking ones with open strings that define the flamenco sound.
  • Organized by the four flamenco keys (Por Medio, Por Arriba, Por Granaína, Por Taranta) so you understand not just the shapes but where they live.
  • Learn them as progressions or just grab the voicings you need — no wrong way to use it.

FAQ Section:

Is this really free? Yes. No trial, no credit card. Just your email and it’s yours.

What level is this for? All levels. Some voicings are simple open position chords. Others are more advanced. The PDF is organized so you can start where you are and come back for more.

What are the four flamenco keys? Por Medio (A Phrygian), Por Arriba (E Phrygian), Por Granaína (B Phrygian), and Por Taranta (F# Phrygian). These aren’t keys in the traditional sense — they’re groups of shapes built around open strings. The PDF covers all four.

Will I actually use all 66 chords? Yes — eventually. But start with the ones you like the sound of. The PDF is a reference, not a curriculum.

Is this related to the full Flamenco Explained course? The PDF is a standalone free resource. If you want structured instruction that goes deeper — technique, compás, palo context — that’s what the Flamenco Explained membership is for.
