These are some suggested steps to learning to play this montuno/tumbao example/estudio. I sort of came up with it … it is basically intended to sound like a classic style lick.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestion and/or ideas.

I am very much still learning this music and trying to apply it to guitar – though I hope I can share some of the things that I learning along the way!
