SOLEA POR ARRIBA

Aribba means 'up' or 'from above'. This is a traditional reference to the upper playing position. This would be a Solea played in the 'E Phrygian' mode using the E Major chord (upper fret board) position. Because this is the traditional and assumed key for Solea, the 'por Arriba' reference is ignored. It would normally only be relevant when a singer wants to indicate to the guitarist that this is the key most suited to his vocal range.
