MEXICAN HAT DANCE (TRADITIONAL) 


About

A lively jumping little melody that is usually accompanying the „Jarabe Tapatío“, a traditional Mexican folk dance. Obviously everybody seems to know this tune, but nobody I asked knew the correct name of it. For a long time I thought this tune existed only as a cellphone ringtone. 

 

Original Key

Don’t know

 

Tuning 

re-entrant gCEA (single note) 

Low G (Fingerstyle)

 

Tab Notes

v2: Only the melody tabbed here.  I use it as a kind of „warm-up“ exercise. Fun to play in a duet with somebody strumming the chords. Updated layout.

Low G: Easy fingerstyle arrangement , and in a different key.
