Here's a tune that was requested by my subscriber Yago Magalháes who lives in Curitiba, Brazil.  The song is 'El Soñador' by the Viñales bases group 'Guacacha Son' with Eusebio on Tres.

I have split the song into six parts to make it easier to follow.  Here is when they take place in the video in case you would like to skip ahead:

01. Intro 0:42
02. Verse (Part 1) 1:38
03. Verse (Part 2) 3:05
04. Chorus 4:29
05. Montuno Intro 5:50
06. Montuno 6:39

Like many recording of this nature the tuning is a bit off from standard, I'm sure the group simply tunes off each other in the studio.  If you set your tuner to 445hz it should be bang on.  Otherwise Eusebio tunes to C (GCE), for the tutorial I'm tuned to C at standard 440hz.

In the video 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 E11/11

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.
