Mi Buenos Aires Querido in E

Mi Buenos Aires Querido in E

Carlos Gardel y Alfredo Le Pera compusieron 'Mi Buenos Aires Querido' en 1934 en Hollywood. Gardel la cantó en la película 'Cuesta Abajo' meses antes de morir en el accidente de Medellín en 1935. Es el tango del exilio y la nostalgia por la ciudad: el inmigrante, el emigrado, el viajante que añora el barrio. El F#dim7 —el vii°7 de G menor armónico— es el acorde que hace temblar la nostálgia en el tango; su tensión hacia Cm es inevitable como el regreso que el cantante desea.

Mi Buenos Aires Querido 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 D# (descending half step), D# to A (ascending tritone), A to B (ascending whole step), B to G (descending major third), G to D (descending perfect fourth), D to C (descending whole step). A half-step bass movement creates a strong leading-tone pull that demands resolution. The mix of stepwise and leap motion balances smoothness with harmonic drive. When the progression loops, the bass returns from C to E by major third.

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.
