Puro Teatro in G

Puro Teatro in G

Tite Curet Alonso compuso 'Puro Teatro' y La Lupe la grabó en 1966 convirtiéndola en su himno personal y en uno de los boleros más intensos de la historia. La Yiyiyi cantaba con una entrega física y emocional que rompía micrófonos y escandalizaba a los conservadores; su interpretación de 'todo fue mentira / todo fue teatro' es devastadoramente teatral por sí misma. El Fm insiste en la traición; Ab→Abm en el puente es el momento en que la máscara cae.

Puro Teatro in G

G major is the singer-songwriter's key. The open G, B, and D strings spell out the full G major triad with zero fretting. Add the open high E for a Gadd6 shimmer. Nearly every diatonic chord (Em, Am, C, D) has a comfortable open voicing. G is a beginner-level key on guitar because the open G, B, and D strings form a complete G major triad without fretting a single note, and the open low E adds a rich 6th color. Beginners will find this key approachable since most chords use open voicings with minimal stretching.

Voice Leading

The bass line moves through G to D (descending perfect fourth), D to C (descending whole step), C to G (descending perfect fourth), G to A# (ascending minor third), A# to A# (ascending unison), A# to F (descending perfect fourth). 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 G by whole step.

Scales for Improvisation

G 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, G Mixolydian adds the flat seventh for an authentic blues-rock edge.
