Here's a tutorial of a fantastic tune: 'El Gallo Ejando' as played by the legendary Eliades Ochoa from his 1995 recording '¡Se Soltó Un León!'.

Of course Eliades isn't playing Tres on the recording, he's playing the 8-string guitar/Tres hybrid that he is famous for.  I simply adapted what he is playing to suit the Tres.  

For the tutorial I'm tuned to standard C (GCE) and I'm playing my favorite of my three Tres Cubanos.  For more on that click here: https://youtu.be/vBxZPB9amNA

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

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.
