Baleme Guitar Chords — Gypsy Kings | Key of G Major

About This Song

Baleme by the Gypsy Kings is a vibrant flamenco-influenced Latin track that is surprisingly accessible for beginners — it uses just two chords: G and C in the key of G Major. What makes this song special is the strumming style: rather than a standard D DU UDU pattern, Baleme uses a flamenco strumming technique involving downward rasgueo (fan stroke) across the strings. Spend time getting the percussive flamenco rhythm right before worrying about chord changes — the G–C alternation is simple enough that all your focus can go into that infectious Spanish groove. A unique beginner piece taught at JBX Music's guitar classes in Mumbai.
