How To Play 'Yolanda' on Tres Cubano as played by Tresero Efrain Rios and Grupo Raison.

I had some constructive criticism from one of my subscribers that I post too many tutorials of songs with 'weird' chords. So here is one with simplest progression possible on the instrument, three major chords throughout the entire song. Of course, for that reason it's perfect for beginners.

The intro is a bit unusual, most of the time on Yolanda the Tres will simply play the melody straight up but Efraín has gone for a more subtle approach by implying the melody. I also really like the tempo that Grupo Raison has chosen to play this, when Yolanda is played super slow and it tends to get boring and draggy.

You'll notice in the tutorial I play the C and D in the upper position rather than playing the C open and the D on the second fret. Two reasons for this; one is I just prefer the sound in the upper position, and two I'm pretty sure it's where Efraín is playing them on the recording, most likely for the same reason.

Efraín tunes to C (GCE) so for the tutorial I am as well.

In the video I am playing my latest Baby Taylor Tres, for more on that click here:

The string gauges I'm using are:
G11/25 C17/17 E12/12

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.

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.
