Below is the lesson for “Havana” by Camila Cabello.

Helpful Tips

Our arrangement of “Havana” stays true to its Latin roots while splicing in an array of tasteful techniques. First off, I love this song! It’s got a great Latin beat with an excellent melody.

The most difficult part of this arrangement is the vast array of technique that is required to perform it. This song uses: a 4 finger strum roll, staccato plucked chords, hammer-ons & pull-offs, slides, triplet picking (here is an extra lesson explaining the rhythm behind eighth note triplets), tapped harmonics, percussive body hits, chucking, and a tapped backbeat.

Another area of difficulty lies in the fact that many sections require a unique approach to fingerpicking. Furthermore, the outro requires an odd fingering of the chords in order to efficiently pick the section. Thus, in the lesson videos I will be covering the best way to approach playing each section.
