Here’s a tutorial of a tune that Tresero Elder González Aquino played for me when I first met him back in 2014.  The song is ‘Changüísero’, he played me a small segment of the tune when I asked him if he plays Changüí, it turns out Elder loves Changüí.  That segment he played is what I’m playing in this video, I don’t play it verbatim, but it’s damn close.  Of course Elder plays it so much better than I do but this tutorial should get you most of the way there.

To see Elder playing this piece the way It should be played click here:

And to see Elder play the entire song with his working group ‘Sol De Cuba’ click here:

The song is at 9:36

For the tutorial I'm tuned to standard C (GCE) but I’m capo’d at the second fret to bring me up to D tuning (ADF#) like Elder.  In the video I'm playing my Taylor GS Mini Tres.  For more on that click here:  http://youtu.be/queaSXlQlHM

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.

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.
