Where does expertvillage get these idiots? This dude is as dull as dish water! He can't even pronounce Tres correctly! There is no "A" vowel sound in the word.

The "e" sounds like ehh like in the words "net,pet,or wet.Not trayss,Fool!

Thank you for you efforts to share what you know about the Tres.

i read a lot of criticism from some latin brothers out there who seem to know something about the clave and the down beat in this music..What i haven't seen is one of those brothers uploading a video of themselves and the Tres and the clave have the generosity to share their expertise with others as you have done.

I just have a question:

What the...????

YOU DO NOT DESERVE THAT TRES. This is a crime to see such a beautiful instrument being played the way you are playing. Do that tres a favor and donate it to someone who can play it. And please, please, please, like TiqueO6 said, do not get into son structure without providing a base on counting and clave. You may be able to play it but you have no idea what is going on.

[TiqueO6]

any true expert musician would give a count off so that the student knows where the beat is.

What you've done is confuse beginners.

Please correct this because I don't want to hear or have to play with anyone who misinterprets Tres playing from your sketchy clip.

Thanks!
