How to Play Latin Rhythm Piano Tutorial 2

In this demo I show how to play an alternative Latin Rhythm which can be used for Tango Rumba Bossa Nova and Cha Cha Cha. It can be used along side the sequence shown in my first Tutorial on How to Play Latin.
If you have any questions I will be pleased to try and answer. If you have any comment on the content of this video please let me know as where How to Play vids are concerned I am only a learner. If you have a constructive comment to make then I will be happy to listen.
In my next How to Play vid I will demonstrate a more dramatic left hand accompaniment.
It does ,of course, require a little more practise to become proficient.

Thank you for your video, it's so great.

I have never thought I could play a tango music before I watch this video. And now, I can :-)

Hope you make more and more video day after day for every one.

good, but you must tune your piano.. ^^

@Pianodrum95 Thank you for listening. I have tried many times to raise my piano to standard concert pitch. The re tuning only lasts for a short period of time , the piano then drifts back to its usual position of approx 1/2 tone down. In this vid I raised the level by 1/2 tone with my editing software. I know it is not perfect but it is better than the first tutorial vid I recorded. My software does not allow smaller adjustments to the tone level.

The habanera rhythm! You can play so many songs with this Cuban rhythm (which has influenced many other Latin styles), from "Habanera, Tu" to "O Sole Mio". Great tutorial.

Best regards,

Tony

@K0rgPA60 I hadn't thought about Habanera I did not know what it was or what it meant. It now looks as though the Cubans invented the latin rhythm as we know it.

Best Wishes

@K0rgPA60 hahah, o sole mio is way older than cuba.

Greetings from Vietnam.

Your lessons are so interesting, and exactly what i am looking for. So i understand fr what you said, that these rhythms can be used for Tango, rhumba, chachacha as well?

Can you please make a short tutorial on how to play "Besame mucho?" or "History of Love"?, or both.? THey are beautiful Latin songs and I ve always wished to play on the piano.

By the way, I am new to the piano, so pls donot laugh at my stupid questions.

Thank you so much for your tutorials.

Are your piano tutorials the begining of a new direction in your music career? This is very clear, not rushed, and is really easy to follow. Nice closing demo. Thanks for sharing! :-)
