Here's a quick bonus video of the Cuatro intro to the insanely popular tune 'Despacito' as played by Puerto Rican Cuatro Maestro Christian Nieves.

I've split the intro in two parts so it's easier to follow, I believe 'Part 1' is only on the video version of the tune and doesn't exist on the released song. The Cuatro plays a simple progression that sets the stage for the overall groove of the tune, then in 'Part 2' plays the main intro that's on the released version.

To be honest reggaeton-pop isn't really my thing, but this intro sounds so much like it's played on Tres I had to do a tutorial. Of course the Cuatro is a close cousin of the Tres and they're only separated by one string course so it's only natural that they would sound similar.

In the tutorial I'm tuned to standard C (GCE) and I'm playing my Mahogany Baby Taylor Tres. For more on that click here: [ Ссылка ]

I transcribe all of the songs for my tutorials myself so I don't have the tablature for any of them.

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

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.
