piano bar
Hola Profe, efectivamente en esa version estaba trabajando "sacando los acordes", y creo que hice un buen trabajo (sin embargo los deje en la casa, y ademas nunca saque la melodia).. haciendolo aprendi algunos substitos que luciano usa, para enriquecer la harmonia. Pero pues, me debo poner en la tarea de transcribir la melodia. he sido muy perezoso al respecto con transcribir! gracias profe.

Lobito: Instala en tu computador el vanbasco: http://www.vanbasco.com/ Así tienes un gran recurso para escuchar archivos MIDI. Tienes un piano virtual donde aparece la pieza ejecutada en las teclas. Tiene control de tempo para ponerlo lento y facilitar la transcripción o el aprendizaje directo al oido. Además puedes seleccionar los diferentes tracks. En la página de piano-bar entras a Faqs y ahí te dicen cómo bajar los midis. Suerte. Suerte.

Lobito is asking how to transcribe La Gloria eres Tu. I reccommend hin to download vanbasco midi player from: http://www.vanbasco.com/ Once you have saved your midi file, go to Finale or Sibelius or your music notator program. Load that midi file in your notator program and you will see all notes there. Luciano plays freely by ear... He does not use metronome... so note values don't appear clearly but you will identify them easy in staff.
jmderay -- 10/11/2005, 18:25:39 -- #19872

If you can read music (staffs), a great tool to use with midi files is Cakewalk Audio Pro,( http://www.cakewalk.com ) you open the midi file, and you can get the staff (both keys) very clearly, better than other softwares I've been trying before. Also you can transpose, change the velocity and other stuffs. The only problem (unless I don't use it correctly) is that it doesn't give you the chords involved, but only the staff. I love Luciano style. Thank you very much for these midi files.

Baja Navidad negra Es una cumbia muy representativa de la música tropical Colombiana. Lee el archivo How to play cumbia. Te voy a poner Carmen de Bolivar un porro de Lucho Bermúdez que puedes interpretar como cumbia. En música Peruana lo mas representativo es la obra de Chabuca Granda y sus preciosos valses peruanos. La más popular es La flor de la Canela. Suerte.

La Comparsa
Albetan, Great room!!! I'm using your transcription of La Comparsa to learn the song. However, i have ran into a slight problem. I have an electric piano which is not the standard piano size. When i get to the 10th bar of the song, i cannot play the low G in the bass line because I don't have the capacity to do so on my electric piano. Needless to say, it ruins the song not being able to hit that note. Any suggestions on how i can get around this? Thanks. JB

albetan -- 11/09/2005, 16:37:06 -- #20740

In second theme (major key) You see left hand part with bass notes in octaves... play only the upper note. Other suggestion: Play the first part (minor key) as it is in Afro-cuban rhythm. Arriving to second part (major key) change style to bolero-chacha. See file How to play Bolero.

albetan -- 11/22/2005, 21:22:29 -- #21360

En esa lección están las bases para tocar cumbia en su estilo original Colombiano. Sobre ese tipo de ritmos latinos seguramente no vas a encontrar nada escrito. Hay que escuchar mucho en discos y tratar de trancribir las melodías con sus acordes. Entre los archivos encuentras Navidad Negra (cumbia) y Carmen de Bolivar (porro). El porro es un ritmo hermano de la cumbia y los puedes tocar igual ambos ritmos. Suerte.

Cumbia & Porro
Cumbia and Porro are performed in the same way in bass and piano and guitar. Drums are similar. Main difference is this: In Cumbia: High Conga goes in beats 2 & 4. In Porro: High conga in beat 2, Low Conga in beat 4.

albetan -- 11/22/2005, 22:00:32 -- #21367

El "contratiempo" equivale a la síncopa... Si marcas los tiempos: \| t ç t ç t ç t ç \| t = tiempo ç = contratiempo \| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & \| Entre gente sin estudios musicales se confunde la palabra "contratiempo", por ejemplo en la cumbia dicen que la conga alta toca en los "contratiempos". En realidad se toca en los tiempos 2 & 4, pero ellos oyen los tiempos fuertes 1 & 3 y consideran como "contratiempos" los tiempos 2 & 4.

Precisamente que la conga alta va acentuada y va tocada en los tiempos 2 & 4, que erróneamente denominan "contratiempos" las personas que no tienen estudios musicales.... Oyen como tiempos 1 & 3 y como contratiempos 2 & 4. Comprendido?

I uploaded a midi file with rhythm section of Son de la Loma, a Classical Son Montuno by Cuban composser Miguel Matamoros. Here clave is 2 & 3. In first bar you will hear the "3" part of clave as count measure, and eveything begins in second measure, in "2" part of clave. If you play it throu vanbasco, you will see a virtual piano and you will have tempo control and tracks selection. If you play it throu Cakewalk, Sonar, Power tracks.... notator-sequencers, You will see score in "guion" track. If you delete drums and percussion tracks and save it as a new midi file, you will load it in Sibelius, Finale... or your notator-program in order to have a score with lead sheet, piano and bass.

Down-beats & up-beats
Yesterday in the night we had here a pseudo-chat with Chale77 about "contratiempos". When we are speaking about tempo, we have down-beat (tiempo) and up-beat (contratiempo). If you tap marking tempo, foot works down and up, marking so down-beat & up-beat (tiempo & contratiempo). \|d u d u \| d = down-beat u = up-beat \|1 & 2 & \| In 2/4 dances like polka, 2/4 Country, pasodoble, corrido, hora... bass plays in down-beats(tiempos) and guitar in up-beats (contratiempos).

albetan -- 12/13/2005, 21:34:18 -- #22151

Tumbao es precisamente la figura del bajo que va de acuerdo a los acentos de las tumbas (congas). Es igual para ambas claves.

Bossa Nova
Hola profe, Estoy practicando para poder tocar como me enseno en la ultima clase, con el bajo en la mano izquierda, y la melodia y la "guitarra" en la mano derecha.. aun no me sale muy natural, y al fin termino haciendo trampa y tocando solo la melodia con la izquierda, o desordenandome ;) pero bueno... profe, que me recomienda hacer como ejercicio para mecanizar ese ritmo de bossa, y por ejemplo tambien el de bolero?
albetan -- 12/14/2005, 11:21:22 -- #22170

You must feel rhythm in your subconscious. You must practice and practice rhytmic patterns until mastering them. In Bolero, Bossa, and all Latin patterns bass line is basic. Play it with left hand. Right hand plays melody and rhythmic chords, when you can do it. Tanto el ritmo de bossa como el bolero debes sentirlo en el subcosnciente. Si piensas en ellos mientras tocas... seguramente te trabas. Debes practicar muchísimo el rítmo solo para dominarlo. Tanto en el bosanova como en el bolero es importantísimo el bajo. Toca con la izquierda el bajo solo y con la derecha la melodía acompañada por algunos acordes rítmicos.

Mas sobre el tumbao
Lo que sucede profe es que he notado lo siguiente en gran parte de las canciones que he revisado. Cuando los temas son en 2-3 entonces el tumbao noto que se hace antipando el tiempo 1 del siguiente compas. Osea ligando la nota del beat 4 hasta tocar la siguiente en el "y" del beat 2 en el siguiente compas ........y asi sucesivamente. De hecho ese es el que tiene en sus files sobre salsa. Pero algo mucho mas "a tiempo" sucede cuando el tema esta en 3-2, como por ejemplo en Pedro Navaja de Ruben Blades. En donde el tumbao de bajo va identico a la parte "3" de la clave en todos los compases, osea sin el efecto de anticipar ligando la nota del beat 4, sino tocando las notas del beat 4 y 1 separadas. Ahora me quedo pensando en que mi teoria no puede ser del todo cierto ya que en este instante estoy escuchando "Te conoszo" de Willie Colon la cual esta en 2-3 y el tumbao del bajo es el que le describi de ultimo. Osea el que va "mas a tiempo". Si no tiene que ver con la direccion de la clave entonces a que se debe que cambie el tumbao del bajo.? Saludos y espero haberme hecho entender jejeje... Chacky
albetan -- 12/14/2005, 16:25:49 -- #22201

Chacky: El tumbao es la figura de bajo que va con los acentos de las tumbas, tal como describes en el segundo párrafo de tu post. El bajo que describes en el tercer párrafo es el bajo de guaracha, que también se usa en la salsa... El sentido de la clave afecta la figura de algunos tambores y del piano. Mire el ejemplo que pongo de Son de la Loma en clave 2 & 3. Trata de escuchar con atención esa nueva salsa que puse aquí "Dreams in Salsa". Ahí veras el uso de esas dos figuras de bajo que mencionas y la combinación de ambas... También oirás una improvisación en Solo Piano con bloques cerrados y bloques abiertos.

Hola Profe.. He conseguido en internet la partitura de Pedro Navaja con sus partes para Piano, Bajo, Perc y Vientos. Me pregunto si conocera algun site donde pueda conseguir algunas más ya que no he podido encontrar ninguno que sea gratis (inclusive me es dificil encontrar alguno en donde las vendan). Será que debo ponerme a transcribir yo mismo cada una de las lineas de viento, bajo y piano??. Ya tengo el Latin Real Book. Saludos y Feliz 2006 Chacky
albetan -- 01/03/2006, 17:14:03 -- #22726

No sigas buscando partituras de salsa... no se consiguen. Tu mismo has dado la solución: "Será que debo ponerme a transcribir yo mismo cada una de las lineas de viento, bajo y piano??." Por supuesto... Prepara un pentagrama de cuatro pautas. 1) Melodía 2) vientos: remates, contracantos, solos... 3) piano 4) bajo. En la parte de piano y bajo pones > para marcar los cortes... En salsa son de gran impacto los cortes rítmicos que se hacen al tiempo con bajo, piano , percusiones y vientos. Disfruta el Latin Real book... Ahi se lució Rebeca Mauleón con esas transcripciones... ahora vas a aprender muchísimo pues ya tienes la Biblia de la Salsa. Salud y prosperidad, Chacky.

Agradesco demasiado tu atención y disposción.
albetan -- 02/15/2006, 09:12:02 -- #24232

Hola amigo Andrés: Baja gratis Notepad de: http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/ Ese es un programa básico de Finale, pero al bajar la última versión, te lee todos los archivos Finale. En el proceso de bajarlo ellos te envían un e-mail con un pasward y un número de serie... anótalos en un sitio seguro, pues te lo piden al instalar el programa... Haz el intento, pues así ves las partituras y las puedes escuchar. Suerte... y repórtame si te funciona...

Finale file problem
Albetan, I tried to get you latest file and my Finale complains that it is incompatible. I have been using (and, of course, learning from and enjoying) your .mus files for some time and so am troubled by this. Do you have any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks, Scott

Finale problem
Hi sdm: My old .mus files were done in Finale 2004.... This new file about Vallenato was done in Finale 2006. Solution is easy: Please go to: http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/ Download it for free. They ask for your e-mail, and they send to you a serial number and a passward... write it in a sure place... When installing program they ask for serial number and passward. An then You are ready to open all Finale files. Good luck and enjoy this funny file about Vallenato.

Thanks Albetan I'm now able to play the single line in octaves with both hands against the pre-recorded percussion vamp at 120 bpm and switching between a major and minor chord...feels great! A lot more to do though.
albetan -- 03/08/2006, 16:14:45 -- #25036

Trumpet_player: Practice also guaje with right hand and bass (tumbao) with left. Guaje is the piano part, and tumbao is the bass part. Montuno is the guaje and tumbao. 120 bpm is the speed for a slow salsa. Normal speed is from 180 to 200 bpm. You must understand and feel the drums & percussion job. Study it carefully

Latin Standards
Hi Prof.!! Right now i'm working with 3 songs. Mambo Inn Flight to Jordan Mambo Influenciado But I'm having problems with the voicings I should use to comp the wind players in the latin jazz band, mainly with those with altered notes as #5, #9, etc etc chords... Could you suggest some left hand (to comp myself) and two hand voicings (to comp them). Thanks in advance
albetan -- 10/06/2006, 15:10:43 -- #30311

Mambo Inn & Mambo Influenciado are in Latin Real Book. If You are playing solo piano, you must perform bass with left hand. Bass in mambo plays in beats 1, 3, 4 . Rhythmic Chord is in beat 2. C (chord) \| 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - \| (count I V V (bass) Perform chord with right and bass with left while comping in the band. See my file Latin Improvisation here in "list files".

albetan -- 10/06/2006, 15:59:34 -- #30317

The tips i gave about performing mambo are for classical mambos as the Perez Prado hits. These two mambos you mention, "Mambo Influenciado & Mambo Inn" are in other style as "mambo-guaracha" or "mambo-salsa". So your right hand plays "guaje" and your left hand plays guaracha bass. If you have a bassist, play "guaje" in octaves with both hands. \| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ \| ^ ^ ^ ^ \| (guaje) \| 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - \| 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - \| (count) \| 1 5 5 \| 1 5 5 \| (bass) See my files Learning Salsa 1, 2for ideas in "guajes".

Albertan, Estoy confundido, realmente tenia entendido que los patrones (montunos de piano) eran al revez. Yo estaba haciendo el que dices que es para 3-2 en 2-3......y viceversa. Es decir el que anticipa la octava en el "y" del tiempo "4" lo hacia para la clave 3-2.

Ranchera
Hi Prof. I was looking for something about how to play ranchera. Can you help me with some of this. I have a gig with my band and we need to play some "rancheras" but there is something wrong in our sound. Maybe it's because we have note practice with the trumpets yet. I hear what we are playing and it sounds like a bolero, not ranchera. Your help will be great!! Sniper
Hush -- 11/09/2006, 13:24:17 -- #31030

Profe estoy conciente que las trompetas son vitales para que tenga el sabor "mariachi" pero me gustaria saber tambien la parte del bajo, guitarra/piano, algun tipo de percusion, etc...
albetan -- 11/09/2006, 17:12:52 -- #31033

Sniper: You must to listen lots of Mariachi recordings in order to get that “Ranchera” feeling. Ranchera 4/4 sounds like a slow march. Vals Ranchero 3/4 is a slow-medium waltz. Corrido ranchero is a fast 2/4 dance. Bolero Ranchero is a bolero played in Mariachi style. Huapango is very complex rhythm in 3/4. If you have not Mariachi instruments, play trumpets and violins in a midi keyboard. Rhythm must be played in guitar (nylon) and bass. Percussion instruments are not played in Mariachi.

albetan -- 12/11/2006, 18:44:48 -- #31654

Hi Sniper: I did not write the Montuno. I improvised it from chords. In order to help You i uploaded a midi file of Montuno for this guaracha-mambo in list files. Listen to it many times and try to create your own montuno by improvising figures over chords. Never try to write montunos... play them at once from chords. You must feel them no thinking in them.

Sheet music
Albetan, I have always wanted to know how to find sheet music of great salsa hits. It is not very popular on the internet. I tried to find the arrangement for Bailando by Frankie Ruiz but can't find it anywhere. I was wondering if you could let me know how you guys get arrangements for popular songs by artists like frankie, hector lavoe, los adolescentes, and lalo rodriguez.
mendizla -- 01/18/2007, 08:14:49 -- #32487
Meaning of Figures
Hey Albetan i want to know what these figures you put mean. For the Guaje or Montuno you have the "Formula" with the X's and the 1-2-3-4. You also put Down-Beat 1, Down-beat 2, up-beat 2 and the rest of up-beats through 2 bars. What does this all mean? Can u explain it a little better to me?
albetan -- 01/18/2007, 10:22:46 -- #32494

Hi Mendizla: How to find sheet music of great salsa hits? The only way for geting sheet music of great salsa hits is transcription. Listen to a phrase... identify the sounds in a piano... try to write it in a staff.... listen again same phrase to hear the exact points in measure and write it right. You need a lot of patience in the beginning, but that's the only way for it. If you are intereste in salsa, you must to get The Latin Real Book "Formula" with the X's and the 1-2-3-4. As you may see, rhythmic figures in salsa are very complex. I explain it with that kind of formulas you are mentioning. For instance: How to explain the clave figure? I count: \| 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - \| 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - \| x x x x x Did you understand?
mendizla -- 01/19/2007, 12:58:07 -- #32525
Thanks
Albetan, Thanks for the tip. I'm going to check that book out cause i am very interested in salsa. I understood the formula after i started playing it. Its in the timing. Great Job with the "Learn Salsa" lessons. I am going to have to learn by myself because there are no professors of music in the area i live. Thanks for the help and the tips.

C version is for PIANO, and C instruments. Bb version is for trumpet, Bb saxes, Bb instruments. Eb version is for Eb saxes, Eb instruments. That is a great book for Latin stuff. Enjoy it and learn lots of music from it. That book will be your best salsa teacher.

The rhythm of spanish mucic chord changes.
I'm learning a bunch of latin style tunes for an upcoming Cinco De Mayo gig doing all sorts of Spanish, Mexican, Cuban tunes. The Gipsy Kings are one of the bands I'm covering and I'm having trouble latching on to the rhythm of the chord changes. Most western music chords change in some multiple of 4, i.e. the chords change every 4, 8, 12, 16 measures. But the Gipsy Kings seem to change in multiple of 3 a lot, i.e. the chords change every 3, 6,, or 9 measures, but then not always. Sometimes it is every 2 or 4 measures. It's driving me slowly insane:-). Are there some patterns inherent to Spanish music, cliches in chord structure that I can latch onto? I don't want to have to count every bleeping measure of music while I'm standing on stage. Any help would be........helpful. Thanks.
albetan -- 04/30/2007, 08:26:36 -- #34797

As you have noticed, each tune has its own chord structure in spanish music. Here you don't count measures for chord changes. Good luck in your Cinco de Mayo gig.

Hi Albetan
Thanks for posting the info on how to play Salsa Montunos.I can finally play the Tumbao part in the left hand together with the right hand,in the I-V-I progression in C major,four bars.And the timing comes easy now...just need more strength in the right hand. It sure took me some time,but I persisted. A Bossa seems easy now!...lol. Will there be a chance of you posting the 2nd half,of how you would voice the rest of the chords to "Wave" by Jobim? I love playing that chord progression with the voicings you've shown,for the 1st part of it. I have it memorised,so that I can play it anywhere and any time. Thanks
