Today I will be giving you a brief overview of the main Latin Guitar chord progressions. These might include flamenco music, Brasilian pieces and popular Latin songs. We will discuss the progression in terms of numbers which is the standard way of referring to chord harmony. There are 7 chords i each key with each chord taking it’s number from their place in the scale. For example C major has the following chords:

C – Dm – Em – F – G – Am – B half dim

We can extend these chords by adding a 7th note:

C^ – Dm7 – Em7 – F^ – G7 – Am7 – Bm7b5

^ = major 7

So C^is chord I also known as the tonic. Dm7 is chord ii, Em7 is chord iii etc. By using the chord numbers we can refer to a chord pattern which can work in any key you choose. I will be choosing examples in different keys to demonstrate this. As you get better at hearing these chord patterns your understanding of Latin Jazz theory will improve. This also really helps when you are improvising.
