After posting a video featuring Tresero Carlos Rodriguez Gonzalez I just had to do a tutorial on his version of 'Para Mi Cuba un Son'.  It's such a great classic Guajira, plus his solos are totally original, lyrical and gorgeous.

In the tutorial I'm using a capo on the second fret.  Carlos Rodriguez Gonzalez tunes to D (ADF#) and the Tres I usually use for D tuning is currently being worked on.  So just to be clear my Tres is tuned to C (GCE) but with the capo the open strings are ADF#. 

Here's a link to my video featuring Carlos Rodriguez Gonzalez:

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

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

Next week I will be posting a tutorial of 'El Carretero' as played by Tresero Ernesto Luis Gil of Son Del Patio so stay tuned!

I posted the first video on my channel two years ago.  I just want to say a huge thank you to all of my subscribers for your continued support.

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.
