Here's a quick tutorial of a tune that was requested by my subscriber Renaud Sevret.
The tune is Pete Conde's 'Son Caliente' from his 1993 recording 'Generaciones' with Luis Rodríguez on Tres.  As anyone who regularly watches my videos knows I'm not a fan of Salsa, I'm more interested in the roots of Salsa.  High pitched blasting Trumpets are not my thing, however I do really dig the intro to this song.

Luis Rodríguez tunes to standard C (GCE) so for the tutorial I am as well and I am playing my Taylor GS Mini Tres, for more on that click here:

The string gauges I'm using are:
G10/24 C16/16 E26/11

I transcribe all of the songs for my tutorials myself so I don't have the tablature for any of them.

My channel is not monetized, so I do not make money from my videos.  If there are ads running on this video it's  because the content is copyrighted and the owner of that copyright is receiving the revenue from the video views.

The song at the end of the video is the classic tune ‘El Reloj De Pastora’ played by the incredible ‘Septeto Trio Los Dos’ who have graciously given me permission to use.

I make and sell Tres Cubano Conversion Kits for Baby Taylor Guitars.  The kit can be installed in under 30 minutes with no luthier experience required.  They cost $200 (USD) with free shipping worldwide.
You supply the Baby Taylor and I send you everything you need to turn it into a great sounding Cuban Tres.
