In tutorial #1 we learned how the basic piano tumbao rhythm fits with the 2:3 clave. In this next video, we explore different ways to embellish this basic rhythm, how to add more complex elements to the rhythm while still locking in with the 2:3 clave.

Excellent. The great thing about RUclips is that we can replay these videos over and over till we master the lesson. I like your basic approach and demystifying these great Latin rhythms. Muchos gracias!
+Gary Horsman Thanks so much for your comments, I'm very happy to hear you find my videos helpful :) Enjoy!
Hi, I’m from Ukraine. Many thanks for your videos, cause I feel you give the most authentic version on RUclips!
Hi there, thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate it and I'm really glad to hear you find my videos useful. Best wishes to you.
Hey Vanessa, this is wonderful thank you! I stumbled into a kind of ongoing Cuban gig and am now having to learn about this stuff very late in life lol…
Hi John! Thanks so much for your comment, it's great to hear from you! Very cool that you're getting into playing this style of music, enjoy!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this GREAT VIDEO!The written example u put on the side of the video "illuminated" the darkness of the "unknow and un-understood" to me! WONDERFUL!
I used to hear that music when I was a kid and wanted to know how to play it (especially the major key Salsa montuno). Thank you for sharing that knowledge on RUclips.
Thanks so much for your comment, and I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this helpful video, Vanessa!
You're very welcome, thank you for your comment, I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thanks for the video, even though its for advanced players, but i got it in the end .. Fan from Morocco
aqui no se esta hablando de canciones, se esta hablando de clave, como tocar un tumbao de piano en clave 2-3. son solo ejemplos.... she dont talk about songs she talk about clave 2-3 in latin music how to play the montuno in the piano for latin music. after this you can play your style but with feelings and latin way. thanks :) muy sencillo y muy importante tu explicacion Vanessa :)
Recién conectándome con tus tutoriales. Gracias !!
Hi Vanessa, I am really enjoying your lesson.....excellent foundation for variation on rhythm
Vanessa,
That was a great lesson. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you!
+John Amos cheers!
Rebeca Mauleon's Salsa Guidebook has some great tips on writing/arranging in clave, as well as a nice overview of the history of Salsa, all of the different rhythms played by the various percussion instruments, bass, and piano, and a great discography.
Hey Vanessa :)
Love your Tutorial! I bet my students will love it as well ;)
Thanks :D
Hi Matthias, thank you for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope your students do as well. Cheers!
Gracias por tus videos! Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
Alejandro Nieto De nada :) con mucho gusto. Abrazos de Brasil.
Thank you! I want more of these lessons :) please upload more 🙂
Hello and thank you for your comment. I'm glad you find my videos useful, I plan to make more soon, stay tuned.
@@vrodriguesmusic Your videos very helpful to learn latin music even though I'm in South Korea. Thankyou so much!!!
@@TaekkeunSim You're very welcome. I visited South Korea in 2019 and had a fabulous time, Seoul is a really great city! Also, I noticed that many Koreans really appreciate Latino culture and music.
@@vrodriguesmusic oh you came to South Korea!! I wish I had known you back then. We really love latin music and the more I study about latin music, there seems to be a similarity between korean traditional music as well! I'm in a band called COBANA (which plays latin style music). And your videos really help me understand a lot about playing latin keyboards. Thank you so much! Hope you're keeping safe and healthy!
Awesome! tutorial thank you from Martinsburg West Virginia Wepa!
Cheers :)
These are great! I'm a pianist trying to learn more about this sort of playing and these videos are super helpful!
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm really glad to know that these videos are helping you. Best wishes to you in your musical pursuits!
thanks for your video from France .
Merci beaucoup :)
Wonderful video...........please, what would you recommend for an intermediate piano player that wants to explore this style of music??? (like tips, guidelines etc.)
Hi Efeoghene! Thanks so much for your comment :) Well, shameless plug here … I've put out an ebook for exactly this purpose - there is nothing technically too difficult in there, an intermediate pianist could easily grasp the material. Have a look and hopefully you will find it helpful:
www.vanessarodrigues.com/salsa-ebook/
ruclips.net/video/aV6omvOAKx0/видео.html
As for tips an guidelines, I'd say, make sure you have a very good grasp of the basic montuno rhythm (covered in my first video: ruclips.net/video/wC3Iq5ImTXE/видео.html ), and listen to groups like El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, and other Puerto Rican Salsa from the 60s & 70s - it's classic and the piano parts are quite straightforward to hear and imitate/play along.
toda una ternura.... muy buen afinque con la clave.... very good
:) thank you very much for your feedback, I'm very happy to know that you found the video so helpful!
*** I'll be releasing a Salsa instructional e-book shortly with many written and video examples of several classic montunos, stay tuned ***
you are so awesome for putting this out there!!!
Thank you! It's my pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Vanessa ese tumbao se parece a la cancion " lindo capullo de aleli " es esa?
Una pregunta , de donde eres originaria ?
Vanessa I found your site by chance and I guess I'm lucky I did, your videos are awsome and I look forward to your E-Book
Vanessa Rodrigues would it be safe to send you my email here
Muchas gracias, estoy contenta que le gustó :)
Hola Miguel! Gracias por su mensaje. Yo vivo en Brasil y desafortunadamente por el momento el conexión de internet no es bastante rápido o fiable. Pero, voy a lanzar un ebook pronto ...
Great! I'm so happy to hear that!! (it's never fun getting yelled at by the Cuban guys in the band ... lol!) I hope you had fun and continue to enjoy playing this wonderful music. Cheers!
I don't mind at all ... I love banjo, that is so cool :)
I saw the transcriptions ... neat ... please post a video of this, I'd love to see it!
cheers
Muy buenos tus videos ! Saludos desde Republica Dominicana ! Como se suele decir en la jerga jazzera: Keep it swinging !
Gracias!!!! Cheers :)
Osea Ud nunca pensó que este vídeo lo iban a ver en Venezuela y yo no hablo Ingles pero por lo que se ve explica bien ya al conocer un poco de Música un abrazo
Hola y gracias por el comentario. Mucha gente está pidiendome hacer los videos en español, es una buena idea, una vez que termine mi maestría pienso que haré versiones en español ... abrazo
@johnnynoirman, @transgirl54, @plutoniccolonic Thanks so much for your comments! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and find them helpful ...
Feel free to ask questions and make requests ... :)
Love it! Keep up the great work!
+jrpjazz Thank you
Do you know of any books on composing /arranging for salsa band?
Very nice.
Vanessa, thanks for this great tutorial. I hope you don't mind that I've transcribed your examples (right hand only) to the 5-string banjo (tab plus sheet music). I have posted it in the Banjohangout dotorg forum - search "banjo montunos" there or on Google.
Hey Vanessa R, like your tutorial videos & have a great interest in learning salsa
like the way you teach God Bless & Happy holiday. get that ebook out soon. ok
Thank You, Oc.
Thank you so much for your comments, and yes I will definitely get the ebook out soon!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! cheers -Vanessa
No conocí esa canción antes, pero es verdad que tiene la misma progresión de acordes ... es muy común, V-V-I-I ...
Yo soy de Edmonton, parte oeste de Canada ... mi familia habla solamente inglés ;)
Recordings of basic montuno pattern before fania ???
I'm glad it eventually made sense ... yes some of the videos here are for more advanced players, and some are a bit more basic.
** I will be publishing an ebook soon covering more basic stuff for people wanting to learn to play salsa piano ... stay tuned! **
on 3:24 that sound on the beginning of the "loop" remembers me of a song from buena vista social club i think it was pueblo nueo or somethink like that
You're right, it does sound similar ... same key, and similar chord progression although the harmony changes faster in Pueblo Nuevo. But yes, I'm demonstrating the really basic and omnipresent meat and potatoes of montuno playing so it's bound to sound very similar to a lot of traditional Cuban music ...
Thanks so much! Cheers
Gracias a usted! Saludos
Nice !!!
Cheers :)
Thanks so much :)
Hi is that pattern in your ebook?
Hi Angel! Thank you for your comment. The exact montuno at 0:18 is in the ebook, and so is the exact rhythmic variation at 4:31; there's also another variation in the book that doesn't appear here that's kind of a mix of the other ones … there are many possibilities for rhythmic variation :)
*** the ebook takes 4 basic montunos and walks you through detailed variations of them - major vs minor, 2 different possible rhythmic variations, 2:3 & 3:2 clave, some harmonic variations … ***
Muchas gracias por el comentário :)
Venessa, I enjoyed watching your montuno tutorials. Thanks for sharing.
God bless you.
Esther (transgirl54)
Gracias a usted :)
Thank you :)
Nice video! Im still dont understand what happens at the second part of clave but I will figure it out! :-D
Szia Zsolti!
Salsa-t tanulsz zongorázni?
:)
Yeah!!!
Csilla Dienes Nem, dehogy, csak most latin zenét gitározom egy sráccal és érdekel minden :) meg próbálom megérteni :)
Dejó!!!
Szuper!
:)
Csilla Dienes ha mondasz egy mailt küldök neked valamit :)
Zsolt Rónai Thanks for your comment :) you'll definitely figure it out. The phrase on the second bar of the clave is anticipated by one eighth note. (the melody starts one eighth note before the bar).
Gracias :) cheers!
😀👏👏👏 🇧🇴 👏👏👏!!!
Gracias!
de nada, mi amigo
Hi all! I just wanted to point out that this particular tumbao is harmonized in 10ths
(I talk about this concept a bit in the Mala Vida tumbao video, also found on my channel)
In this video, the G chord and F passing chord are done with the LH in root position and the RH in first inversion, and for the C chord the LH is playing the first inversion and the RH is doing the second inversion.
Feel free to comment/message me if you have any questions ...
cheers!
Vanessa
muy encantado even @ 1/2 speed
gracias :)
Salsa y Sabor!..Your adorable!
Vanessa, mil gracias desde Madrid España!!!
Me darías clases por skype?
Do you speak spanish? It's for curiosity.
Hablo español sí, mas o menos, es que ahora estoy viviendo en Brasil, entonces estoy hablando mas "portañol", seria muy difícil para mi hacer un video en español …
Vanessa Rodrigues ha ha ha, don't worry. Keep playing!!! Good teaching. Greetings from Caracas.
yes, yes I am :) but I live in Brazil now ...
This video is part 2 ... you have to go to video #1 (look for it, I can't post the url here) to see how to play the original montuno ... this video here tells you how to embellish the montuno you already learned to play from video #1 ... hope that helps :) cheers!
(@johnnynoirman - mismo en español, voy a entender :)
your freakin awesome but umm would of been nice for an actual showing of how to play it... but its kool im not mad at ya... God Bless
What a pity you are going through it too fast. For a beginner in that style not helpful at all, as it's not possible to follow you if you aren't doing it step by step, explain which chords you are playing. Otherwise it would be a thumbs up!
bucaneromax1 Hi there, thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry for your frustration.
I do show the chords I'm using in this video (which are always the same, it's just the rhythm that gets varied) at 1:53
Truthfully I didn't make these videos for complete beginners, but rather for people who already have a fundamental understanding of chords and play other styles like rock or pop or jazz but were feeling eluded by the rhythmic concepts of salsa ... this is the second video in the series, perhaps the first video would be more helpful:
ruclips.net/video/wC3Iq5ImTXE/видео.html
In any case, the good news is that there are tons of resources out there to help you learn basic chord structures, and once you get a handle on that, these videos will be much easier to understand.
Best wishes to you and thanks again for your comments.
Hahaha, thanks for your understanding :-)
bucaneromax1 :) this is a very important part of my job as a music teacher, to try to understand and work through these kinds of frustrations.
Vanessa Rodrigues
Good!!! That´s the gap which needs to be overcome. The gap that hinders the less advanced to understand some tutorials. Sometimes once it helps just to slow it down to make it more comprehendable ;-)
bucaneromax1 very good point bro
Going too fast
Gracias mamacita
Your playing is like honey... sweet, thick and luscious. I am also looking forward to your e-book :) I have just sent you an email...
Are you married?
Thanks so much :)
