I’m so happy to find such an authentic tutorial of the salsa pattern. I hear it all the time in music but never really understood how it works. So thank you, now I can play the real thing on the piano!
Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear you found it so useful. That's why I do this :) Cheers
Your explanations, examples, the way you use the technology, and your joyful presence make this is a great lesson. You are a gifted teacher.
This is by far the best tutorial for keyboards ever. Period.
Wow, thanks so much, I'm so glad it was so helpful for you.
11 Years later you helped me a lot! Thank you mrs. Rodrigues
Wonderful, I'm so glad you found this helpful. Cheers!
Vanessa - You are a wonderful teacher! Your Joy of Music is so inspiring. You do not look like the MONSTER you are on the Hammond ! Thank-you.
I loved your teaching... I saw many others, but I stuck myself onto your pedagogy
as you managed to put difficult concepts into simple logical demonstrations!
Vanessa, you're awesome! I'm a retired Jazz and Salsa pianist. You do an outstanding job breaking it down. Le deseo mucho exito.
Thanks, Vanessa! You've helped yet another piano player make a break-through into Latin music!
Really glad to hear it :) cheers!
I'm just a guitar player here that's trying to improve my piano playing skills and you're an awesome teacher! I actually used this video in a guitar class that I was teaching last night to explain about Rhythm placement and how it's really important to be consistent to sound right in various genres. Thanks!
Wonderful! So glad to hear that, thanks for sharing.
I watched this video 2 years ago a gave up my dream of learning salsa science after watching it. But in may 2017 I watched it again and got it, very nice video.
I'm glad to hear you haven't given up! Yes sometimes we need to let things sit and process in our brains for a while ... and then when we revisit them they seem easier than they did the first time. Great news. Enjoy!!
Vanessa, great teaching and really clear explanations. You're a natural teacher.
thanks for sharing Vanessa I am a long time pianist just getting into Latin so this is very helpful!
Glad to hear it! Best wishes to you with your new musical project.
I am learning and applying some of them to my 5-string and 6-string bass guitars (not just playing 1 5 8 tumbao on the "and of 2 & 4"). So much fun ... Thanks for this!
Hi Robert! How wonderful, I'm really happy to hear this! Have you ever checked out bassist Oscar Stagnaro?
@@vrodriguesmusic Of course! I interviewed him as well. I used to be the Assistant Manager for "Bassics" magazine and a contributing writer for "Bass Player." Additionally, I was the Producer/Host/Engineer of "The Global Beat" podcast for "Global Rhythm" magazine (and wrote for several others including "Downbeat," "Modern Drummer," "Jazziz," many other publications and several websites such as abstractlogix.com.) Also interviewed Rebecca Mauleon, Hiromi, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and numerous others.
@@robertkaye5434 Wow that's fantastic!!! Please feel free to reply with URLs to any of your interviews here that are available online, I'm sure a lot of people seeing this would love to read them.
(myself included)
Hola y muchas gracias por sus comentários. Soy canadiense y vivo en Brasil, entonces mi español no es muy bueno ahora ... pero de verdad, mis videos son principalmente para explicar a gente de paises del norte (USA, Inglaterra etc) que no crecieron con la música latina ... pero estoy contenta de saber que gente latina también piensan que mis videos son útiles!

Thanks so much! Playing and dancing are very much related, it is so important to really feel the rhythm of this music inside your core, whether you are playing or dancing ... I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for explaining this rhythmic structure. The counterpoint between the comp and the 2-3 clave is so subtle yet so complex. You do a wonderful job showing that in the vid with the Clave insert - Thanks again
Thanks so much for your feedback, I'm very happy to know you've found it helpful. Yes, clave is really the most important aspect of the montuno/tumbao rhythm.
I love this lesson. I’ve returned to this video many times.
Wonderful, I'm so glad you find it helpful!
@@vrodriguesmusic Wow! Thank you ☺️☺️
Thank you so much! I saw this about maybe 4 years ago. and enjoyed it then. Glad I found it again so I can learn how to put that "ritmo" tumbao in my fingers.
Hi Richie, thanks for your comment, and for finding this video again, I'm glad it's useful for you :)
hi Vanessa - hope all is well for you - well I stopped playing the montuno for a long time it seems and now i am going to try to learn it again.
Hello Craig, thank you for your comment. All the best in your project to take up playing montunos again, I hope you find my tutorials helpful. Cheers!
There is nothing more beautiful than a young lady playing a musical instrument and smiling at the same time, thanks a lot, you had made my day !!!
Thank you :)
Im a salsa addict... This tutorial is just pushing me to play some montuno on my piano (obviously I need to learn first). You really seems to feel music on your soul, keep on it!
Hi Vanessa - a wonderful NYC musician found your tutorial and sent it to me. I am recommending it to other musicians, too. We love the clarity of your explanations; plus, your time is amazing, girl!!
Outstanding - thanks! Great teaching style, perfect pace, helpful addition of the clave in the corner - just perfect. Cant wait to work on this and to learn more.
This is the first salsa-based piano lesson that made sense to me - I think it is because you started with the explanation of the timing. Thank you!!
:) I'm so glad you found it helpful. Yes, the rhythm is absolutely the most important aspect of this style, followed by the melodic phrases. It's wonderful music! Enjoy! cheers
i agree with pablo - vanessa you have an infectious way about you - slightly like a learned professor and yet so much passion bubbling through too. very clear also - thanks
will c Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment, and I'm happy to know that you find my lesson enjoyable and helpful. Cheers!
Thank you Vanessa ! I like your talent to teach us what you like. I'm pianist too (42 year's old), and enthousiastic visiting all your videos very soon. Big kisses from Brittany, France - Romy
Hi Romy, thanks so much for your comment. It's wonderful to see all kinds of different people of different ages from different countries learning and enjoying Latin music :) Have fun!! Beijos do Brasil
Ok, so I've just discovered Vanessa Rodriguez and I'm already hooked. This is exactly the kind of straightforward, basic instruction any piano student can use to learn the correct way.Your'e awesome Vanessa!!
Thanks so much!! I'm really glad to hear my teaching style works for you. Enjoy!!
I like the tutorial, and the vamp and solo at the end, nice right hand work and your timing and feel is impeccable.
Thank you very much :)
Thanks Vanessa, I'm a bass player that is starting to learn some piano and play a lot of Latin bass. Always wanted to learn montuno's on piano. Thanks for great instruction.
As a guitar player we've always wanted to know the 'secret of the clave', how to really listen to the technique and structure and then play rhythms along with it. Though I can get around the keyboard very little, but enough to form the chords, hearing and learning the progressions is a very valuable learning experience and inspires me to practice more. Thanks a lot Vanessa~!
+Spyder Logan You're very welcome, I'm glad you find the tutorial helpful :)
Very Good... You show it in a simple way for the beginers. Thanks so much...
You're very welcome and thank you for your comment, I'm glad you found it useful
musically you sound like a native latina...you got the touch... keep it up we can use role models for our young people who want to follow the traditions of our people.
Si ya lo he buscado pero no lo he conseguido, quizas no he buscado en los sitios correctos. Lo que pasa es que tu forma de tocar me llamó porque tiene mucho corazón y eso le da un tumbao excepcional. Espero que coseches muchos éxitos en la musica. Saludos.
Sinceramente Luis
Young lady you are awesome on that piano. You seem to know your stuff as far as salsa rhythm goes. You can be a great inspiration to the new upcoming salseros salsros. God bless you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, much appreciated. All the best
I love your simplicity, you explain very well. thanks for the video.
Hi Vanessa -
It took awhile but your instruction helped me learn enough to arrange and record a praise and worship song by Paul Baloche called Praise Adonai. It looks like I will get a chance to perform it next week - the piano, bass, drum set, percussion and horn parts are recorded (yeah Roland!) - I will sing and play a guitar lead over it - any way thanks again for your instruction - it was clear enough to help a novice of the piano get a satisfactory recording done.
Craig
Excellent! I'm very happy to hear this. Best wishes to you
excellent, vanessa I liked how you explained everything in detail, I think for that nesecitamos learn, your tutorials is a good alternative to start music lessons .. go ahead
Vanessa Thank you for posting this...I play country/rockabilly piano....However all my life I have been hearing this cuban rhythm from movies to Ricky Ricardo- Lucy TV shows and have always wondered what it was....Thanks to RUclips you have answered the basic compelling questions that have bugging me for 50 years.....
+Harold Price I love stories like that. RUclips (amongst other sites and apps - Shazam comes to mind as well) has brought many musical revelations to many people. I'm happy to have helped. Cheers!
Thank you vanessa. That would help me to understand some concepts that I misunderstood. I'm not a piano player but I definitely would like learn how to play. It just that. Coming from Cuba I have been surrounded by a lot of musicians never ever heard such title. However. Tumbaos. Is very well known. When it come to piano players. Here in united States it's different. It's like same thing different names or techniques. To summarize thank you. A fan of your talent.
I really loved the Fsus to F7
Thank you Vanessa for sharing your video. I trained in piano for 4 years and have been playing off and on for years. How would you recommend I go about retraining myself to learn and play salsa and even improvise.
Gracias Vanesa. Tienes buena pedagogía eh visto varios vídeos pero pocos se le entiende.
Muchísima gracias, me alegro mucho que fue útil para tí. Un abrazo
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Thank you, I'm glad you find the videos helpful. Where do you live?
Olá! Obrigada por seu comentário!
Estou virando brasileira - rs (sou do Canada mas moro no Rio)
Este teclado é um Yamaha Clavinova.
Hola Alex :)
Será un tiempo antes de que pueda hacer un video, pero la progresión de acordes es: D7 | G | A7 | D7 (in G major) ... I hope that helps for now ...
This is such a great introduction to playing salsa piano! I've been playing piano all my life and always wanted to learn salsa but only just started trying to learn it now. This video was really easy to follow without being too slow like many other videos. Thank you!! :)
Also awesome jam at the end :D
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!! Cheers!
I appreciate the help and vivid suggestions from the first half of the
video. It is much appreciated. I re-learning the piano after living
abroad for 17 years in Asia and Africa, but now back in Texas. I am now
engaged with Hanon now as you mentioned in some of your comments on this
page.
Do you also salsa dance? Do you do any Skype lessons?
Thanks for the montuno helpful hints.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I'm glad to know you've started playing piano again.
I do salsa dance, but not fancy ballroom style, my thing is more like dancing in the street with the locals.
I still don't have the best setup for Skype lessons, but if this quarantine situation goes on much longer, I'll see about trying to fix that and let you all know.
Cheers, thanks again
¡Muchísima gracias! What bands did you used to play with?
Hi Steve, thanks for your message!
Very close ... it is indeed an arpeggio, but it's actually going up rather than down ... it might sound like it's descending because of the top C in the pinky, but the octave is doubled in the pinky and thumb, and the melody of the arpeggio goes up from the thumb playing the bottom C, up through Eb, G, then the top C (even though the Cs are always played by the thumb and pinky together) ... hope that helps!
cheers
The drumming is good but it's a process like many things in life. I wanted to tell you that I love the organ trio video's. You guys are great! You are fun to watch! Looks like you're having a lot of fun! Best to you!
Thanks a lot for the clarity in explaining these complex rhythmic patterns, Vanessa. Just one remark/question: some of the variants that you play are labelled Fsus-F7, while it seems to me that they are playable simply over Cm. Isn't that right?
God blessing you! Congratulations Vanessa !!
+Alberto Tico Cardenas :) thank you
Vanessa you're awesome, I love your video, but I can't learn from it yet because I'm an infant with the piano. Respect!
Thanks so much! You'll get there … get some basic technique happening, but remember the most important thing here is not chops, it's the correct rhythm … it won't take you as long as you think. Have fun :)
Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Holy smokes that part at 2:58 is really challenging for me to learn.
I literally ripped your video to my PC & placed it on my video compositor and looped that part over and over like 20 times on my portable yamaha and I'm frying my brain trying to get the fingering coordinated.
Hi there, thanks for your comment! This tumbao at 2:58 is very similar to the break in the song Mi Tierra, which I also did a video about: ruclips.net/video/JybMBBQW_Tk/видео.html
Freekin' cool, awesome video, sure takes years of agony away from trying to learn that from a jazz piano textbook. Thank you !!
Hahaha!! Yes well. I actually put an ebook out as well, also with the aim of being as agony-free as possible. In any case, I'm very happy you found this video helpful. Cheers
Gracias La Senorita Rodrigues. You are lovely and kind enough to reply to the question marks in my head :)
I will listen to the recording. I happen to have this title Chan Chan by La Familia Valera Miranda but seems like no piano. Not sure if the string played is the Tres, but yes, there is the 2-3 clave played outright.
I am actually from the island-city-state of Singapore. I hope to be in Rio for next year's World Cup. Thank you again.
You are wonderful! I love this video, your explanations are superb, you really have an understanding of these rhythms/chords. Thanks for this, I've learned a bunch!
Dom Ham Thanks so much for your comment, I'm so glad you find my videos helpful :)
Great answer, thank you , I first felt it counter intuitive and it can lend to phrasing mistakes, (with the disagreeable sensation that you dont feel the pulse !) understanding that a 2/2 writing is used was an eye opener to me for clave, and provide me more freeness. Then, Latin Jazz can phrase easily in 4/4 so it is easy to be mistaken is not it ?
Awesome piano player Vanessa, I allways Love playing salsa with my Keyboard.
Wonderfully instructional, muchas gracias Vanessa
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for posting this video. It helped me a lot. I've always wanted to try to play salsa rhythms on the piano!
+Allan K Great! I'm very glad you found it helpful
Great help with the beat! Thanks Vanessa! xx
Besides being adorable and cute Vanessa, your video is informative and helpful. Montuno is one of my favorite rhythms for piano. I play drums and I love to solo over this rhythm. Thanks.
Thanks very much for sharing! and keeping it simple 👍
You're very welcome! Yes I try to explain things in a way that is simple and easy to understand ...
Very Clear. No confusion! (I like what you said about not getting yelled at by the Cuban guys! Nothing like a scowling Cubano!)
Thank you so much for confirming. Glad I got the timing right :)
How do you feel the 2-3 clave ? (in the video's first half's basic montuno's, only 2 and 6.5 are played on the piano, how can i feel the clave?)
I think I hear some of the 2-3 clave in the last montuno at 5:00 minute, I can hear some piano bass keys on 2, 3 and 6.5 and 8.
I read clave is embedded into Latin music. I'm learning by brute force method, ie by listening over and over again to salsa songs and counting 123, 567 :)
Your instructions are clear and helpful! te agradezco :)
Muchas gracias :)
Awosome Vannesa... thanks for this tutorial... Soy mexicano y me encanta la musica de tumbao!!
Muchísima gracias! Enjoy!!
Buenísimo el video! Aprendiendo "Sonero Mayor" de Willie Colón, y este tutorial me esta ayudando con el "montuneo" Gracias!
:) que bueno que mi video está auyudándote. Y Willie Colón es fantástico. Disfruta mucho!
That smile of yours made my day, eres muy agradable! Very instructional tutorial, muchas gracias bonita!
Thank you very much
Wow...excelente! Thank you immensely for this superb tutorial. I'm a salsa party promoter in Charlotte, NC, USA. Studying the evolution of Cuban Son and modern Salsa is my unabashed passion. My absolute favorite salsa piano work is Tirso Duarte's contributions to Charanga Habanera in the Michel Maza era of the late 90's. Duarte's mesmerizing creativity, Maza's brassy salsa god vocals, and David Calzado's airtight orchestrations...I've never heard the disparate elements of salsa come together so brilliantly. Are you familiar with this collaboration? If so, what do you think of it? Thanks again!
So I'm assuming that after a while your left hand will find the right keys to play and not fumble around if your right hand is playing the melody. Not easy splitting your brain to have your hands do different things. I will keep working on it. Fantastic video Vanessa!!
Thanks! Actually your hands don't really have to do different things, especially if you want to stick to the basic montuno and not harmonize ... the only difference is that the LH doesn't double the octave at the top ... otherwise, the 2 hands are playing the same thing. Unless you're talking about the end part, where the LH is playing the bass line ... I've done a whole other video about that: ruclips.net/video/iS1U64s6ijY/видео.html
Thanks so much! I love Salsa and I always wondered what that wonderful rhythm was called!
AH merci de répondre en Français :) je comptais en 4 noires comme vous et j'ai vu que les Cubains écrivent la clave en 2 /2 2 blanches du coup on compte 1 et 2 et pour une clave complète, juste sur la pulsation, c'est plus posé (et plus juste pour la phrase musicale je crois) Ca s'entend beaucoup dans la Timba, et beaucoup moins dans le mambo. Pour moi ça m'a aidé a calmer ma façon de phraser (et de danser !) mais je débute plus ou moins ! Vos explications sont très bonnes, merci !
Id love to learn to play thé last thing you played. CAN you make a video on that ?. Thanks and merry Christmas
Hello and thanks so much for your message. That's a good idea :) Merry (belated) Christmas to you too, and Happy New Year!
@foobar42 I have no idea why I can't respond to you directly. Must have to do with this Google+/RUclips crossover profile thing. I hope you see this. Anyway, where to start … so many amazing artists. If you want something 'heavy' maybe you'd like Timba from Cuba, check out Isaac Delgado/NG La Banda. Also you might like Salsa Dura (as opposed to Salsa Romantica), try the Spanish Harlem orchestra. I also really love Fruko & sus Tesos and Yuri Buenaventura, from Colombia, lots of great piano playing on those records.
+Vanessa Rodrigues just having seen Fruko's name here prompts a comment from one who cannot get enough Colombian salsa. Having at one time been less exposed to other than Fania Records' fantastic music, I was fortunate to have latched onto Fruko's expansive work, and also that of the "other" deity of music in Colombia, Diego Gale and, in particular his Quinto Mayor project, then it all turned into hopeless addiction to Sonora Carruseles, Grupo Niche, Joe Arroyo, Alquimia, etc. etc. etc. Really amazing that out of a thousand salsa songs, and the fact that so much of the music is made of vamps, montunos, tumbaos, guajeos, and such, but every song remains distinctively unique, and to be able to pick out Papo Luca's playing, Eddie Palmieri, Roberto Fonseca..... kinda like doing not too badly on a treasure hunt in a foreign land :)
I find little personnel info on so many salsa albums.... I'm always inclined to seek other music by bandmembers, like I'd always done with jazz and rock albums. Any ideas why that might be? I think in movies, where you know you're seeing an actor but their name's not credited, they chose to be paid in lump sum rather than via royalties....?
And you are a rare find. thanks for these lessons; it's also fine just to listen to your playing.
+One World Thanks so much for your comments, and for sharing your enthusiasm for Salsa from Colombia! Hm that's a really good question, I've found it difficult as well ... in the case of Yuri Buenaventura's Mala Vida which I did a tutorial of here, there were 3 different pianists listed on the album ... my challenge to you, can you tell which of the 3 it is? I can't! Haha
At least the general personnel was listed, often they don't even do that. Not sure why ...
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺CUBAN MUSIC FOREVER ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
Excellent, tutorial sessions Vanessa Rodrigues my skill's are most definitely going to improve. Aim totally grateful and thankful as well. Most of all (El talento que tienes, proviene de un regalo de Dios en el cielo.)
Thanks for your teaching, it is very clear. I try this on the guitar ! I love polyrythmic patterns, like in flamenco... Keep going on !
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes this will fit very nicely on guitar, in fact the origin of the tumbao/montuno pattern is from a Cuban 3-string guitar called the 'tres'. Have fun!!
Me gusta, lo explicas muy bien. Voy a aprender contigo. Saludos desde Catalunya-España.
This has helped me so much! Thank you Vanessa!
Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you found this video helpful
Absolutely fantastic video and what a great presentation!! Thanks so much!!
Excelent , many congratulations.......good pace and swing. I am impressed the way you touch,
well beautiful
Thank you very much :)
Vanessa, estoy iniciandome en el bongo/congas y si no es molestia, te importaria hacer un demo de montuno como el que comienza en 2:36 solo un poco más largo... me ayudarias un mundo!!
that's a great vid :) i dance salsa and also dance&play other generes... that's the first time i try to play the montuno with my fingers rather than my feet ;) and u've been very helpful!
Qué bonito tutorial! gracias.
Muchas gracias, con mucho gusto.
Hi Vanessa! Gracias, podrías hacer un video del montuno final más lento, quisiera saber como haces la parte que suena más rápido
can you xplain how do you make the chord or the notes that we have to play??
xcelent video!! you 're awesome!!!
Hi Vanessa, any chance you can teach those slow tumbaos by the NUMBERS? Some of us find it easier to learn by the numbers
WAOOOO!!! Vanessa, que buen tutorial, eres la mejor profesora de piano!!!
Okay..may I ask¿ R u Cuban Latina, Mix Latina or you got this Latin art down so True-that its become a Natural part of you? 2nd V-Ro... I have the Roland-xp80 k.brd and my pinky cant reach cumfortably the second (C) repeat note? What can I do? Great work V_Ro! Look forward to ur E-book! ( :
Wow u r owsome even though u know so much and willing to share tell me a lot about the passion you have for music, would you be able to put more tutorials? Also how can I get to the level u are, well closed to your level. I play in a church and I love salsa rhythm but I feel in a stage were am stock, can u help. How can I perfect my self, and no I don't read music, I heard that a lot of jazz is involved in salsa is that true? Thank you so much for willing to share your knowledge which some people that I know don't do it they keep it to them self. Thank I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I will be releasing an ebook in early 2014 that will cover many of the basics; it will come with video examples as to help people like yourself who would rather learn from watching/listening than from reading scores. Stay tuned :)
I always enjoy watching you.Ruben...... The Vibraphonic Man
Glad to know it :) cheers
Very well put together.Vibraphonic man
Me encantan tus vídeos Vanessa. ¿Te puedo hacer una pregunta? ¿Qué ritmo es este? ¿Cómo se hace en el piano? frenesi sax alto
Hola! Hmmm … en ese video, el baterista esta tocando algo parecido a Bossa Nova, y el tecladista está tocando un tumbao; el tempo es mas o menos Son Montuno … puedes tocarlo de la misma manera que tocas un tumbao de salsa (que toco al final de este video) o lo del cha-cha-chá, que toco a 2min20 en este video: ruclips.net/video/RF9LeFwzM5Y/видео.htmlm20s
Hola Vanessa muchas gracias. What do you recommend someone who cannot play the piano to start with. I want to play the piano guajeos. Start with left or right hand? And do you play the same notes with right and left hand?
Latin rhythms are definitely challenging for those of us who did not grow up with them, but if you really get into it, it'll gradually become easier.
RUclips won't let me post the link directly here, but my Salsa Tutorial #4 is all about coordinating the 2 hands; I attempted to break it down and present this tricky rhythmic coordination in a way that's easy to understand ... (look for it in my list of videos). And thank you for your video, I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks!!
Nice tutorial! This year I would like to travel to Brazil. I am wondering what's the music scene is like over there. Are you playing gigs often? I don't know when I am traveling, but can I ask you which venues to check out or things like that?
Thank you for your comment! There is so much music in Brazil, you will love it! São Paulo has every kind of music you can imagine happening all the time, whereas Rio is more traditional. Belo Horizonte also has a great music scene. Sure message me when you're around and I can give you some tips … enjoy Brazil!!
Vanessa Rodrigues Obrigado, Vanessa. I did not know that Rio is more traditional. That is good to know. I was thinking about going in March, but my Portuguese is pretty limited, so maybe much later. Tchau!
great video! would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on how to play the piano part on certain salsa songs or write the sheet music for it?
Hi there, thanks so much for the comment! I will be publishing an ebook very soon about how to play montunos, there is a lot of that kind of information in there, stay tuned!! (first 20 buyers will get a bonus transcription of a montuno from the discography!)
