Chords for How To Play Salsa on Guitar SALSACUSTICA 🎶 - Steban Galeano

Alright amigos, guys and girls, let's play some salsa on guitar
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
First thing you really [Eb] need is quickly understanding the clave
I won't go too deep in the explanation of what the clave is and where it came from and everything
However, I'm pretty sure you have heard it before if you are in this video
It goes like this _ _
_ _ Today we are just focusing on the 2-3 pattern, the basic one
Let's try to put that _ _ into context when you are going to play a song
So you have your tempo _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The clave needs to fit in your normal tempo
And all the other instruments are going to start building up on top of that
Sometimes you hear the piano
_ [Gb] _ _ _ Let's just try to fit it in the clave
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now with the bass, the bass has to be syncopated _ _ _ _ _
So the same principle, you have your bass _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then you just feed it back from the clave _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Apologies for my bass and piano impersonations but you get the point
It's just for you to understand a little bit what I'm about to do
[Ebm] Let's do it
Alright guys, we have our guitar with standard tuning
We [A] are going to play two [Bm] chords, it's going to be B minor and [A]
then A major
_ The bass part that I was talking about [B] is
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ The next part is just the little montuno, you can actually do variations of [Bm] that
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ [A] _ _ Now, let's hear it with [Ab] the clave and let's put those two together _
