INDITA MIA

FULL SOLO

Presented here you will find 4 advanced versions of Indita Mía. It is assumed that you have played all four versions of Indita Mía presented on the intermediate page. On this page, we take the previous arrangements and added a tag ending. This is the stock tag ending for many rancheras in 3/4 time, and completes the song. be aware that when violins and trumpets play this ending, the play the first "C" in the melody in measure 29 as a "C#". This happens so quickly it is not usually an issue, but be aware of it. If it is a problem, either don't play the tag (doing right hand chords instead), or simply play the note in question very quietly. (The second "C" in measure 29 in the lower voice is always played natural.)

Note that the bass line in measure 10 is slightly different when playing just the bass line with no left hand chords (versions 3 and 4) as oppossed to when playing both bass and chords in the left hand (versions 1 & 2). This rhythm is very typical, and should be used when playing with a mariachi. Sometimes the preceeding note (the "G" in measure 9 in this case) will be played with the same rhythm, depending on taste and the rhythm of the lyrics.

Version 1 is a full solo, with a single note style of bass lines and 2 note left hand chords, with tag ending. link

Version 2 is the same, but with left hand octaves and 3 note left hand chords. link

Version 3 has only octaves in the bass for the left hand, for when a guitar/vihuela is playing the chords. With tag ending. Careful! The bass here has an extra note in measure 10 not in the above two arrangements. link

Version 4 is the same as 3, but with right hand chords. mariachi accompaniment style. With tag ending. Careful! The bass here has an extra note in measure 10 not in version 1 nor 2. link

I highly recommend that you master all four versions before proceeding onto the more techniques page.
