How To Play Tumbao in A minor on Tres Cubano as played by Pancho Amat | GBE Tuning | Cuban Tres

- Here's a quick tutorial of a fantastic Am Tumbao played by Pancho Amat. The video is by 'Playing for Change' please visit their site: www.playingfor...
For the tutorial I'm tuned the same way Pancho tunes, like the top three strings on a guitar (GBE), so if your Tres is tuned to standard C (GCE) simply bring your middle course down 1/2 step.
In the video I'm playing my Mahogany Baby Taylor Tres. For more on that click here:
• Baby Taylor Tres Cuban...
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.

I'm just now hearing the depth of
of your WHOLE video thread line.
So I'm giving myself a year to respond. Just what the Dr. ordered.
Don't stop, you're needed.

Much appreciated.
Cheers.
Again, it's really great to hear!
Lots more coming!!!
Cheers.
Este instrumento me llega muy adentro en el corazón
Buenisímo ! Acabo de comprar un tres y voy a ponerme a estudiar este tumbao! Fue un momento fantástico estar con pancho Amat en la Habana y grabar este momentito donde explica sobre el tres y toca este hermoso tumbao !! Gracias a +TresCubano por explicar este ritmo. Viva Cuba!
Francois Viguie
That's great to hear. Please let me know if I can help in any way with your new Tres. I have many videos explaining the different setups and tunings you can use.
It must have been amazing to spend time with Pancho... To me he is the pinnacle of Tres perfection and I hope to meet him someday.
Cheers.
Cuban tres is so beautiful. Has soul! Thank you!
I'm blown away.. I need this instrument
Nice!
If you're looking to buy a Tres I make and sell Tres Conversion Kits for Baby Taylor guitars, just like the ones I use in my videos. I sell them on my website:

Take a look.
And thanks for watching!
Cheers.
i'm a guitar player but i love your breakdown of these tunes...it adds another dimension to my playing...thanks !
You're welcome...glad to hear it!
Cheers.
This is really good amigo!!! very helpful, now I want to buy a tres to learn from your videos!!
Gracias
That's great to hear...
Mine are all small guitars that have been converted into Tres Cubanos. I have instructions on how to do it if you're interested. Just look in playlists on my channel and select conversions.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers.
wow thats great, I'll check that tutorial.
Thanks a lot!
Puedo imaginar un buen acompañamiento sonero tras ese rico tumbao! Thanks TresCubano!
obvious: GBE tuning (afinación), as the three top strings of the guitar --- btw, this is a delightful channel for budding non-Cuban treseros
Thanks Paul - there's so much stuff packed into that short tumbao!
You're right...
It's a great one.
Enjoy.
Man the tone and control in his fingers! It literally sounds like he’s using a volume pedal and swelling the volume in.
Alexander Torres
Right...It does sound like that.
I totally agree, ridiculous control and note clarity. Have you checked out Renesito Avich’s new record ‘Solo’?
Pretty damn good but he’s no Pancho. Super clean lines, worth a listen.
Cheers.
This is grand! an enormous help. Muchisimas gracias amigo.
Joder, cuando pensé que la excelencia no podía ascender ví éste vídeo. Gracias maestro!
This is great. I'm a life long student of Cuban and Puerto Rican music, but new to playing the tres. Is it common to move between the two tunings? GCE and GBE? Do most players settle into one tuning and stick with it? Thanks! Having spent time in Cuba and Puerto Rico, I know the feeling of capturing the real stuff right there on the street. More rich journeys to you, my friend!
Hello,
Welcome to the channel!
Generally most players learn tuned to GCE and occasionally tune one step up to ADF# (sometimes called Havana tuning). It is quite rare to find a player in Cuba tuned to GBE. In all of my years of going down there I have never come across a single one... Pancho Amat is the only player I know of that actively tunes that way permanently.
I tune to GCE 99% of the time.
The big question is the setup for your Tres, do you play Traditional or Modern? With Traditional you’ll have two octave string courses (on the E & G courses) and with Modern you’ll have just one (on the G course). Do you have a Tres? If not or if you’re looking for a new one I make and sell Tres conversion kits for Baby Taylor guitars. Check out my site: www.treskits.com there’s also more info about Tres setups on there too.
Thanks for taking a look!
Cheers.
Acabo de conocer el instrumento me encantó..saludos de chile (sos)Como podría conseguir las transcripciones de las canciones ? Éxito!!!
Great lesson. Always learning new things.
Maravilloso!!!! Una duda, cuando hay tumbao en guitarra, no hay lugar para el piano cierto? el piano también tumba, entonces hay que ir o por uno por el otro cierto?
Estaría de lujo una colaboración del tres cubano con el bajo quinto mexicano
I'm a beginner and not able to tune my tres guitar pls what I'm I doing wrong. Somebody to help me its urgent pls

czcams.com/video/zP-UmfY4qQ8/video.html
Did you get it tuned?
Excellent!
Much appreciated!
Cheers.
Gracias, recomiendeme algún Luthier o lugar donde comprar un tres cubano.
¿cual es la afinación? por el último acorde no creo que sea CEG tradicional.
Que se llama el tema, o está improvisando ? Que bien que suena
if your playing Am with your finger on the 1st fret, second string, wouldn't that note be a C#? therefore making an A major? Or is your tres tuned like a guitar G,B,E?
Chris Loney
Hi Chris,
Yup...I’m tuned to GBE for this one.
It’s how Pancho always tunes. Occasionally I’ll do a tutorial tuned that way but most of the time I’ll transcribe to standard GCE.
Thanks for taking a look!
Cheers.
@@TresCubano great! thanks heaps for getting back to me. I really appreciate it.
Que distancia hay entre cejuela y cejuela? Pregunto porque quiero construir me un tres... gracias por tu respuesta...

Thanks for watching!

What is the name of the last two music in the video ? Thank you
¿Cuál es la medida entre el puente( rastilho) y la cerjilla? Yo quiero construir esta guitarra três. ! Puedes ayudarme?
what is the difference between tumbao and montuno, in the context of tres playing?
I hope this helps and finds you. So the tumbao is that syncopated rhythm that’s played with the melody. It’s what gives the melody it’s percussive aspect if you will. (Son) Montuno is just a genre of Cuban music that will probably incorporate a tumbao rhythm. Basically, the tumbao makes you dance. At the start of this vid, the tresero is playing a tumbao for example but if he were to stop pausing in between some of the notes, it would just be a melody.
Quiero sacar ese punteo en guitarra española
qual o nome dessa canção?
❤️
what song is pancho amat playing?
Excelente ,,,,que afinación usas .
Hola mi amigo estoy empezando a tocar tres y me gusta mucho ver tus vídeos. Solo que tengo unas dudas... ojalá me puedas asesorar, las tres órdenes de cuerdas van octavadas? O solamente la cuerda de La, Re y la de Fa# unísono? O como van? De antemano muchas gracias por tu ayuda y Dios te bendiga mi amigo. Saludos desde Querétaro México!
Bravo 👏
Hi, where can I get tablature for Cuban Tres? Tx.
Excelente. Tienes una partitura?
Could you provide tablature for that tumabao?
Thanks!
Larry 321321321
Sorry, I transcribe all of the songs for my tutorials myself so I don't have the Tab for any of them...
Thanks for watching though.
Cheers.
I had no idea that this instrument existed - thanks for all the education & instruction on this channel! This may be totally out of left field, but I could totally hear a tres cubano rendition of Tom Waits’ “Hoist That Rag” - it’s definitely draws heavy inspiration on Cuban music, especially in the rhythm, chord structure, and Marc Ribot’s guitar solo, which pulls from this song nearly note for note! Apologies if you’re not familiar with Tom Waits and this is a super weird song out of the blue! czcams.com/video/orxPuV06jgM/video.html
What song is this?
amigo como llama este tema?
thank you very much! clave 2-3 or 3-2?
I'm pretty sure it's 3-2.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers.

Is it a tuned taylor gs mini guitar?!!?
Hi Alejandro,
It's a converted Baby Taylor.
I developed a conversion kit that I sell on my website:
www.treskits.com
I make each one by hand. The Baby Taylor is the perfect candidate for conversion due to it's size, tone and build quality.
The kit is $200 (USD) and I ship them for free anywhere in the world.
Thanks for taking a look!
Cheers.
What can I say... Im in love
POV: You just saw Vivo
where can i buy a cuban tres ?
Hello Enmanuel,
It's super difficult to find a decent Tres unless you live in Cuba or a major city in Europe. That's why I started TresKits.com where I sell kits for converting Baby Taylor guitars into Tres Cubanos, just like the ones I play.
Check it out. Since launching in January I've sold 28 kits to 13 different countries.
Thanks!
Cheers.

Are you tuned G b e?
pete swing
It depends...how I'm tuned can be found in the description of the video along with the string gauges I use and other info.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers.
Ah, thank you.
El presedente
bro is that a phillips head screw WTF
This instrument is actually named “Tre”
You’re kidding, right?
I’ve been to Cuba over 20 times and studied with some of the best players on the island.
I know what the instrument is called.
Cheers.
not cool to use Pancho Amat in your video. Make your own videos, but don't lift his videos.
Oye, he is not lifting Amat's video? It's used with respect and his channel is not monetized. ...Solamente un idota como tu!
