Here's a tune from a album that I posted last week that I've been obsessed with lately; Germán Obregón's 'Fiesta Campesina'.  The Tresero Ramiro Guzman Marin is the real deal.  He truly plays the Tres the way it's meant to be played.

The tune in the tutorial is 'Amorosa Guajira' and there are lots of chords due to the fact that it starts in a minor key and then switches to a major key 41 seconds in.

I've broken the tutorial into four sections: the minor section at the beginning, the major section which is the meat of the song, the bridge, and the wonderfully understated solo.  I've also given the time each section occurs in the song so there is no confusion. 

Note: You'll notice my fingering in the solo is a bit weird, I cut the tip of my middle finger on my left hand at work a few hours before shooting this segment so I had to do most of this part with my other fingers.

Tresero Ramiro Guzman Marin tunes to C (GCE) so for the tutorial I am as well.

In the video I'm playing my Mahogany Baby Taylor 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.

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.
