How’s it going, guys? This is John McClennan
and I’m here with guitarcontrol.com, excited
to bring you this lesson. We’re looking at a
little bit of a Latin Montuno here. A lot of
Latin music is very much based on the rhythm.
When you’re soloing over like montuno sections
and stuff, a lot of times it’s just a couple
chords, but the rhythm is so important. So here’s
a little vamp for you to practice with a metronome
just to start getting it together.
Notice I’m playing without a pick here and I’m
starting on an A minor triad. This is 7, 5, 5.
I start by just hitting the first note with my
thumb and then my first and second finger play
the third string and the second string of the A
minor. So it’s… And then I’m going down from
the A to that E, so I’m just dropping strings.
And then, the next note is 5th fret and then
back to the root. So it’s… And then play the
root again here and then twice on the E.
With a metronome you can really lock that in.
But you’ve got…

This is a nice little ditty but more on Latin rhythms would be great as there is an extensive amount of Latin stuff that would be worth learning. Good lesson.
I just have to say you guys are so great!!! to share these little bits of music knowledge and inspiration to this old timer who’s been playing a long time. Thanks
What amplifier is that next to Mr. McLennon?
Very nice exercise and very clear teaching.
it was nice to hear some Spanish guitar, good lesson – muchas gracias!
