El Día Que Me Quieras in E

El Día Que Me Quieras in E

Gardel y Le Pera escribieron 'El Día Que Me Quieras' en 1935 para la película homónima, rodada en Nueva York meses antes de la muerte del Zorzal. La letra imagina el instante en que la persona amada finalmente corresponde: flores, perfumes y luna. La progresión I-VI-II-V en Sol mayor, con el trotear del bandoneón, es uno de los momentos más cinematográficos de todo el tango.

El Día Que Me Quieras in E

E major is arguably guitar's most powerful key. The open low E and high E strings ring sympathetically as the root, while the open B provides the fifth. This triple reinforcement gives E-based riffs and chords unmatched depth and volume. E is a beginner-level key on guitar because both the low E and high E strings ring as the root, and the open B is the fifth — three open strings reinforce the tonic chord. Beginners will find this key approachable since most chords use open voicings with minimal stretching.

Voice Leading

The bass line moves through E to C# (descending minor third), C# to F# (ascending perfect fourth), F# to B (ascending perfect fourth), B to E (ascending perfect fourth), E to A (ascending perfect fourth), A to F# (descending minor third). The root motion by larger intervals (fourths and fifths) gives each chord change a strong, decisive character. When the progression loops, the bass returns from F# to E by whole step.

Scales for Improvisation

E major pentatonic works because every note is either a chord tone or a safe passing tone — there are no avoid notes. For soloing, this means you can play freely without clashing. Over dominant seventh chords, E Mixolydian adds the flat seventh for an authentic blues-rock edge.
