- What guitar do you need to play Mexican guitar? To play traditional Mexican guitar, buy a vihuela or guitarrón. Choose the guitarrón if you’d like to provide the bass in mariachi music, or choose the vihuela if you’re interested in a higher-pitched, smaller version of the guitarrón.
- How do you tune your guitar for mariachi music? Your tuning will depend on the type of guitar you use. Tune your guitarrón strings to ADGCEA.
- How do you hold a Mexican guitar? Use your knee or guitar strap to hold the guitar upright. If the guitar sits too low on your lap, try standing with your leg propped up on a stool.
- What are the basic chords used in Mexican guitar music? Mariachi music uses mostly open chords! You can stick to common shapes like C, G, D, F, Am, Em, and E7.
Once the guitarrón is in place, hold the neck of the instrument in your left hand. Your left thumb should be on the back, with your fingers against the strings. With your right hand, pull and release the strings in front of the sound hole. That’s how the guitarrón makes sound!
The guitarrón mexicano or Mexican guitarron, is a very large, deep-bodied Mexican 6-string acoustic bass played in mariachi groups. Although obviously similar to the guitar, it is not a derivative of that instrument, but was independently developed from the sixteenth-century Spanish bajo de uña.
