La Folia
Chord by Calculate900
This is an acoustic arrangement for La Folia, one of the oldest European songs in
recorded history. The main arrangement is simple, with the progression:
Dm A7 Dm C F C Dm A7
Dm A7 Dm C F C A7* Dm
However, I've found that this setup sounds most like the original version (the
asterisk shows an alternative fingering for the same chord):
(From low to high E)
Dm- x x 0 2 3 1
A7- x x 2 0 2 0
C- x 3 5 5 5 3
F- x x 3 5 6 5
A7*- 5 7 5 6 5 5
For inexperienced players, the chord progression may be a tad difficult, but once
you get it down, it's a nice tune to make variations for.
