Questions about Spanish Gypsy

What chords are in the Spanish Gypsy progression?

The Spanish Gypsy preset uses Dmin → Cmaj → Bbmaj → A7. It loads straight onto the fretboard in the Studio, along with the tuning and scale this genre is built around.

What is the Andalusian cadence?

A four-chord descending sequence — i–♭VII–♭VI–V — that steps down from the minor tonic to a dominant chord. In D minor that's Dm–C–B♭–A7. It's one of the most recognisable progressions in flamenco and Spanish classical guitar, and it's the reason this loop sounds instantly 'Spanish'.
