How to play Corridos

[@matthewcoleman6680]

As a non-hispanic(african-american) corrdios amateur, thank you do this broooo!! An absolute beautiful genre of music!

[@SethCottengim]

Thanks for listening 💪🏻

[@localmilfchaser6938]

As a Mexican, this type of music is not beautiful whatsoever. It’s a dangerous kind of music that fantasizes the life of cartels, drug dealers and other criminals. They fantasize about what ruins Mexico and they see no problem with it. Please educate yourself more. Listen to any other kind of Mexican music instead of this shit

This is a really good video man. I just found your content scrolling through shorts. As someone who has played for a while now. Sometimes focusing so much on theory can really take away from enjoying and actually making some good music. Moveable simple shapes are so important. The quicker you can grab things with less thinking the better. I’ve always liked this style of music so this is awesome for me I really appreciate the content. Also that’s a beautiful guitar sounds great.
