  • Dear Expert Village,

    Do you know the definition of the word "charlatan"?

    Probably not, but if you looked it up in a dictionary, you would see the 'Expert Village' logo beside these words: "a person who pretends to more knowledge or skill than he or she possesses; a quack."

    I have seen nothing in the content of any Expert Village submissions on Youtube that evinces any degree of "expertise." Please put a stop to the misinformation. People are trusting you to provide them with accurate content.

  • This is awful. Please use a metronome if you are going to demonstrate these syncopated styles of bass without a drummer or percussionist.

  • @heeeeeemale Allow me to support you by saying another word that might fit Expert Village equally, if not slightly more, because I think we can all agree that they are pretentious

  • No Countoff, No Metronome or Beat Keeping.

    Bad Technique (especially on the tumbao, RH is plucking late on some notes).

    Typical "Expert Village" mess.

    Stay away from that channel in general if you're trying to learn.

  • heeeeeemale@ estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo, el 'latin rythym' suena mas como 'Smoke on the water' y the 'toombail' no tiene nada que ver...sacate!

  • @theotherlorax i can

  • I think these guys are just Trolls.

    You know some other notable trolls of this stature? Westboro Baptist Church, Anonymous, Scientology, Trolls, trolls everywhere.

  • Dear negative commentors - so I presume you can make better videos than these for instructional purposes? Make some and post them, or shut up.

  • you really should learn to do something for real before making a video.

    Have you ever played in a real salsa band?

  • Seems like this person heard his first latin cd yesterday, and practiced ALL NIGHT. Seriously -get down with some Cachao, Victor Venega, Joe Santiago, Ruben Rodriguez etc. who can lay it down right.

    Try eating some GOYA!

  • thanks i needed to get my latin chops up!

  • A white guy trying to teach tumbao? I feel presure on my chest and I can't breathe!!!!!!!
