greek baglamas - 3 pairs of strings chords
Start Jamming...
OK, this tiny musical instrument is a so-called Greek baglama, and it has nothing to do with
the Turkish baglama.
The Turkish baglama is an own scale, and this one is a simple chromatic scale on the fingerboard.
You could say it's the little brother or little sister of the Greek bouzouki, and it has three
strings which are in pairs, three double strings.
And these are tuned D, A, D.
So we have a power chord, an open chord.
And usually you would play, in Greek music you would play the melody on the highest string
or on the highest two strings.
And the lowest string, which is the bass note, the drone note D also, would sometimes be
taken for accompanying or as a drone.
[D] The lowest string is an octave, so it has two strings, one is the D and the other is
the very high D.
[Ebm]
[Abm] [Dm] [Gbm] [Ebm]
[D] [N] So this [Dm] is what it sounds like.
[D]
[A] [Eb] [Dm]
[Bb] [D] [A]
[Dm]
[A]
[D] So tiny.
