Conga variations, free lesson by Michael de Miranda 

Your 3 excellent conga variations are very practical. You give excellent and easy to follow explanations in your lessons. Thank you very much.

YESSSS! Thank you! this is exactly what I need to be practicing right now :) I've worked my way through a lot of your conga videos always having fun exploring the various rhythms of the world. Polishing up my fills now will surely help with my learning and give me a better understanding of all future ethnic rhythms. I love all of your videos especially finding the ones pertaining the congas to be most fun. Thank you again!!

Saludos desde Carolina Del Norte USA. Once again, thank you Mr De Miranda for your tutorials on conga playing. Your teaching method is unique and easy to follow. Muchas gracias!!

You have me getting closer to poncho Sanchez variations wow thanks for everything

Michael i started playing the congas 2 weeks ago , Everything i know i have learned from your videos. Thank you !!!

You are the best Michael. I have learn so much with you. I don't have yet the independence that you do but I keep at it. Thank you so much for your step by step free lessons, specially the three parts Bomba and Plena from Puerto Rico, but the all good.

Gracias ...thanks from San Francisco California.

Hello, Maestro. As always, "YOU'RE THE BEST!" Thank you very much for these great rhythm arrangement variations, they are very nice, traditional and professional and certainly, expertly taught. Then again, we can only expect the best from a true, Maestro, as you are.

Thank you for this great gift you've offered again. You're very talented both: musician and teacher. Your videos are easily understandable and i like your calm and modest style very much.

Thanks so much great lesson ... I've been hearing these in all my salsa music and now i can bring it to my playing!

Thanks for this! Nice varied variations. I look forward to incorporating them in my playing.

Nice video. I often look for some nice simple tumbao variations and you have provided some nice ones in a very clear way............thanks!!!

That's is super slick, man!!

Nice job Michael. Thank you for sharing.

Michael, Thank you very much! Great variations for me to practice. I also want to say it's been a blessing to have you provide such fun, easy to follow tutorials on latin percussion over the last few years. I can definitely say it's because of your videos, I have become a much better conga player! I especially enjoyed the guarapachangeo on 3 congas video. Would it be possible in the future to have a tutorial on guarapachangeo variations? Again, thanks much.

The best Michael seguire you Class.

Excellent class for us to perfect! Thank you very much!

Thanks for another excellent lesson, Michael. The challenge for me in understanding variations such as these is learning exactly where to begin the variation and where to return to the tumbao. You always make it so clear. You are one of the best teachers on the web. Thanks again, Wayne

Many, many thanks Michael for this clear, precise, very useful (and free!) tutorial. Your joy in sharing your passion and evident respect for the learner is obvious. Cheers from South London

All of your videos are very helpful. Way more informative than anything LP has put out. Their pros are amazing musicians but terrible instructors. You break it down and chart the music. I have always wanted to improve my improvisation and you have helped me tremendously!

Bedankt Michael voor deze duidelijke lessen..ben beginend conga speler en heb veel aan deze lessen..groet Klaas.

Thank you, Michael! Very tasty variations!!
