  • Just to confirm. From high to low, E B G D D E. With the D string (forth string) replaced with a E string and tuned to a D.

  • @dashinandchoi Hi small correction...you put 2 Ds it's E B G (D) A E  with the fourth string replaced with an E string and tuned to D

  • Hello Sir how are you hope you alright, is this E-B-G-D-A-E ? and I would like to know that can I start learning soukos by using aucostic guitar or I should buy the electric one. Thanks

  • @Andreas5616 Yes it is E-B-G-(D)-D-E The 4th (D) string is the same size as the small #1 E string but it is tuned to D...As far as learning this mi-compose style of rhythm or lead you need to purchase an electric guitar..

  • @Andreas5616 G C & D in different positions and inversion of those same chords

  • Hey man would you like to teach that please?

  • @Andreas5616 Sure....

  • best guitarists are in africaaaaaa

  • @estebaneeezy Hi .Thanks for your comments..

    As far as artists are concerned....I would start with the old greats that set the strandard.. Luambo Makiadi or Franco as well Dr. Nico and Tabuley Rochereau to name a few...Kanda Bongo Man, Werrason, Kofi Olimede are more current..

    There is a great You Tube channel that features a lot of them..

    it goes by the user Idimawatu...check it out..

  • @Andreas5616 I agree

  • Sol -chord G

  • mi compose tuning (for clarification!) lowest to highest EADGBE (the "D" is the regular old D string but tuned an octave higher using another high e string.

  • Hello again, can you please tell what are the chords you are using because I can see it is power chords but the way you finger it make difficult to guess

  • Dude the only way too learn this "style" of playing is by listening to album and figuring out stuff don't ask for tabs TABS SUKS
