My favourite Fingerstyle Guitar ways to play (when on my own) are here!

At 0:16 We've got the elusive, famous and awesome SALSA! Combining Montuno (usually played by tres or piano) and the tumbao (from bass) TOGETHER on one guitar 😉 There's also a quick example of how you can improvise while keeping the bass going.. very importante in salsa and cuban music.

Then at 1:58 we've got the mesmerizing BACHATA also showing the bass independent and other little elements of the song.

Then at 2:47 I play the beautiful, romantic BOLERO.
At 3:26 the energetic and cool CUMBIA!

After that the fun MERENGUE (4:04) and then a couple more rhythms.

The idea is to try and combine the bass, some melodies and the rhythm all at one time. Let me know what you think.

I left out some other popular fingerstyle guitar patterns such as Bossanova or even Tango or spanish guitar melodies so we could look at other music that can be played on a standard guitar. I love the above-mentioned rhythms so I may do some tutorials on that and also will be making individual videos on each of these rhythms or ways to play so please SUBSCRIBE!
