DESCRIPTION:
Here's a tutorial I've wanted to do for a long time: How To Play 'Lágrimas Negras' on Tres Cubano as played by Eliades Ochoa from his 1995 album 'Se Soltó Un León'.

I'm doing another collaboration with my fellow YouTuber Christopher Teran and we'll be playing this version of 'Lágrimas Negras' so I figured this would be the perfect time to do this tutorial.

I've broken the song down into five parts: the intro, the three verses (which are all slightly different), and the Montuno.

Of course Eliades doesn't play Tres, he plays an 8-string guitar/Tres hybrid, I simply adapted what he is playing to suit the Tres.

In the video I'm tuned to standard C (GCE) and I'm playing my Taylor GS Mini Tres. For more on that click here:

The guages I'm using are:
G10/24 C16/16 E11/11

I transcribe all of the songs for my tutorials myself so I don't have the tablature for any of them.

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.
