Here's a quick tutorial of another great intro by Pancho Amat.  This one is from his recording with Miriam Ramos called 'Cantar la Trova' from 2005 and the song is 'Una Sublime Ilusión'.
Honestly, I could transcribe Pancho's intros all day long.  You can learn so much from them in terms of fingering, chord placement, and overall phrasing.  Each one is like a 30 second masterclass in modern Tres.

Pancho Amat tunes like the top three strings of a guitar (GBE) but, for this one I decided to transcribe in standard C (GCE) because most Treseros tune that way.

In the video I'm playing my Mahogany Baby Taylor Tres.  For more on that click here:  http://youtu.be/vBxZPB9amNA

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

The string gauges I'm using are:
G10/24 C16/16 E11/11

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.
