  • Hello everyone, today I´m bringing some latin stuff. This are some salsa patterns based on the progression I-V-V-I x2. I made them all in Cm based on the same bass line, the bass line transform I-V-V-I into I-(bVI)-V7-V V-bVIdim-I-VI.

    Instead using a click click I have used the following clave pattern that is very useful to memorize .

    Each pattern has been played twice finishing in some way of Cm t the end.
    Most of this pattern are usually played by keyboard players so this is some kind of adaptation for guitar.
    Have fun!
