The world would be A much better place if more people had the goodwill toward mankind that you demonstrate. through music, teaching, knowledge, of many cultures. I watch you daily and have learned very much in A short time. thank you from California.

It took me a number of attempts to sequentially get this pattern, but it was worth it. Thank you Michael.

Hola Michael, muchas gracias por tus explicaciones claras! Eres muy bueno tocando y explicando!!! Gracias de corazon!

Thank you!!!

good teacher

thanks sir wonderful. ...

@MARASALVATRUCHA199 I agree with you. The Matanzas style and the way that Munequitos play it are my favourite!!

thank you this so helpful

Great Video as always, i was wondering if you could do a video about how to play a guaguanco rhythm but with a salsa clave

no me dedico a las congas pero tenia que hacer una grabacion donde tenia que tocar rhumba y le entendi a tu video pero no supe ya con toda la musica como entrarle jha pero me sirvio para hacer un derivado y creo que quedo decente gracias como sugerencia o aportacion en reciprocidad hubiera sido bueno que tocara el ritmo con un ejemplo real con musica

Excelente. Tal vez la proxima vez mostraras las variaciones tambien para que el ritmo salga como al final. Gracias.

Son un groso (the Best) desde argentina .

i just bought my congas ( conga n quinto i think - 10''/11'') n im starting playing with you. love your lessons, following for few weeks already! plis give some short explanation how play cata rhytm

Hey Michael, is the Guanguanco every played with the clave or is always against? Thanks!

@alemancito84 Thank you for the compliment!

Thanks Michael indeed is good material to learn, but I think you could sostain the base for a little more time .. so the learners can use the steps ... i mean without the dischargues or pra pra pra ... this is confuse ... and i am really tank you for your vídeo ..

vary good i like your videos the video for solos on guaguanco was very helpfall but i will be thaksfall if you can give soom mor patrans in oder video.thanks.

What kind of head do you use on that qui to?

Thank you for the time and effort you put into these lessons. I have learned a lot and will continue to do so. I'd like to ask about tuning the conga drums. is there a set way to tune them? Iv'e tuned mine by ear, but i just want to know if there is a correct way to tune them in order for the tones to be nice and strong.

Thanks Michael, excellent lesson. Even with inclusion of the rumba clave, I'm having a difficult time finding 1, precisely (even though I know where 1 is in the clave :) ). Your first open tone on the tumba is on 4, as you've made clear. Is the first slap with left hand on the conga on 1, the first open tone on the conga on 1, or is 1 falling somewhere slightly in between beats? Sorry for such an elemental question. I appreciate your help. Great lesson! Alex.

@waltercito47 Hi Wally, unfortunately I don't have a DVD. Perhaps one day I'll make one.... So for now I can't help you, but I know that Changuito and Giovanni Hildalgo and a lot of other percussionist do have there dvd's. I don't know if that is what you are looking for?

Your welcome!! I hope you can use my lessons and of course it's for free!!

@waltercito47 Hi Wally, I'll keep on posting more videos! And unfortunately I live in Holland. I would rather live in Florida!

I have steer skin on my quinto.

Muy desfasado con el metrónomo, pero exelente demostración
