Do you want to know how to play dos oruguitas on guitar<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos Oruguitas (translated as “Two Little Apples”) is a beautiful, classic Spanish song that has been around for decades. It’s an easy song to learn and play on the guitar, making it perfect for guitar players of all skill levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, we’ll explain how to play the song step-by-step so you can learn it too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Play Dos Oruguitas on Guitar <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we start learning the chords, let’s look at the lyrics in case you want to sing along while playing. The chorus goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDos oruguitas\/Colgando de una rama\/Una se mueve\/La otra no se mueve.\u201d  That translates to “Two little apples\/Hanging from a branch\/One moves\/The other doesn’t move.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, let’s look at our chord progression. We’ll use A minor, D major, E minor, and G major for this song. To start off the passage, place your index finger on the fifth fret of the low E string and strum each string twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is our A minor chord. Now switch your index finger to the seventh fret and strum twice – this is our D major chord. Switch back to your index finger on the fifth fret and strum twice – this is our E minor chord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, place your ring finger on the ninth fret of the low E string and strum once – this is our G major chord. Now you’re ready to play! When played correctly, here’s how it should sound: “Dos oruguitas\/Colgando de una rama\/Una se mueve\/La otra no se mueve.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try playing it slowly until you get comfortable with each chord change before increasing speed gradually as you practice more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have mastered the basic progression, try adding some embellishments such as hammer-ons or pull-offs for a more dynamic sound, or add extra notes between chords for a more complex sound if you are adventurous! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for even more of a challenge, try experimenting with different rhythms and time signatures, keys, and chord voicings (fingerings). The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
