How To Play ‘Abusadora’ on Tres Cubano as played by Tresero Eduardo Saborit | GCE Tuning

Here’s a tutorial of the classic tune ‘Abusadora’ (written by Armando Machado) as played by Eduardo Saborit of the group ‘The Cuban Trio’.
I really like the chord progression in this one and I thought it would be perfect for a tutorial. Also, I’ve been playing around with adding percussion to my videos. Please let me know what you think.
In the video I'm tuned to standard C (GCE) with a Traditional setup on my Tres with these string gauges:
gG9/24 cc16/16 Ee26/11
(wound strings are indicated with uppercase letters, plain with lowercase).
The Tres I’m using in the video is the Mahogany Baby Taylor that I use in my workshop to make my Tres Conversion Kits. This is a kit I was working on for a customer in Australia, it was sounding great so I thought I’d use it in a video.
If you would like to have one of your own please check out my website: www.treskits.com where I make and sell kits that include everything you need to convert a stock Baby Taylor guitar into a great sounding Tres yourself with no luthier experience required.
Order yours today!
I’m just about to roll over to 12,000 subscribers today! I want to thank everyone who has subscribed, it really means a lot. I never would have thought when I started this channel seven years ago that I’d still be making videos and loving it in 2020. Recently I left my day job and I’m now making my Tres Conversion Kits full time!!! Didn’t see that one coming either...
Again, THANKS!!!
Loads more to come.

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.

Paul, congrats on the success of the conversion kits and the channel! Amazing! No more coffee shop, well it goes to show how great the tutorials are. Hard ones, easy ones and intermediate ones (tutorials). I absolutely love your channel and I can testify that my playing would not be the same without your channel
