Excelente clase, más importante que saber tocar es saber explicar y enseñar, y tú aparte de que tocas fantásticamente lo explicas tan bien que no me ha hecho falta el traductor a pesar de que no hablo inglés.Gracias maestro.
+Dance Papi Also!! My partner and I have just started to watch the Dance videos.....we're beginners and will start classes in 3 weeks but your excellent introductory lessons are giving us some much needed confidence! THANKS!
Thank you sir! I was just thinking about starting to play the guiro but didnt like how most players only knew the cha cha rhythm. This is a great lesson.
I Thank you for you using the word Gourd. You 'r right. Because Calebases are totaly different, they grows in a tree and gourds grows on the ground. kiss from Musicolo gourds producer, musician and guiro maker in france
Genial, la mejor explicación que he visto!!! Me gustaría ver cómo se escribe esto y verlo escrito combinado con un patrón 2/3 y 3/2. Es lo mismo ya sé pero para ver las refeencias. Parece fácil pero yo sé que es un quilombo!!!
Thank you very much for this wonder full video. The best instruction ever of playing Guiro . Love it. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you again and again.
Gracias por estas lecciones! Explicas super bien para facilitar el aprendizaje. A proposito, sabes donde puedo comprar uno de esos? He visto los de LP, pero tienden a ser mas gruesos y con las lineas mas separadas.
Edguardo, thank you for the lesson. Just got a Puerto 🇵🇷 Rican guiro and writing music for my next album and just needed basic guiro techniques just to get an idea. Actually, I need jibaro patterns. Do you have a video for that? Great lesson 👍
Mr. Edgardo Cambon, you did a great job.. I finally got it!@ lol.. Gracias por la explicacion estuvo excelente..I need a Timbales/Bongo Workshop I will coordinate in advance whenever I visit Cali
Excelentes videos , de verdad te felicito por promover y apoyar nuestra musica Latina , soy aficionado a la percusion menor y de verdad que estos videos son muy agradables e instructivos , se que hacerlos en ingles hace que muchos gringos y otros que no hablan español tengan la oportunidad de conocer mas de nuestra cultura y musica hispana pero me gustaria mucho poder verlos si no es posible en Español al menos traducidos. Un abrazo sincero desde Cali-Colombia donde la salsa se canta , se baila y se vive , les invito a conocer todos los artesanos que fabrican a mano muy buenos instrumentos de percusion menor.
+Julio Soto Mil gracias Julio por su mensaje! Si planeamos filmar todos los videos en español ya que tengamos un extenso catálogo y un estudio de musica donde filmar. Adelanta caminante y que viva la salsa!
me podria decir, donde puedo conseguir el raspador de guiro pero el mismo q esta usando en el video... yo tenia uno igual, pero me lo regalaron y se me rompio... y no se donde puedo conseguir otro igual..
Don’t underestimate the difficulty of play the guiro. I’ve been trying to get up to some of the speed he shows here and I can’t do it after a couple of weeks of really practicing. I can play cleanly to slower salsa but on songs that are much faster I fall apart.
Hi good afternoon I'm very fairly new playing the guiro which I love love love thank you so mu h for posting your videos..... I had a question please I admire the shirt your wearing, where would I be able to purchase that shirt from please? Thank you
Hi, The only difference is the speed, as the Guaracha can be much faster, but bear in mind that in the Guaracha (because the Guaracha is more related to Son music than Cha-Cha,) the Maracas may be a more appropriate accompanying instrument. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
There are many different guiros, and they all sound different, (specially if they are made with a natural gourd) but if you buy a plastic guiro from some re-known company (and they are many to chose) the sound will get closer to the one in the video. Also you may have a natural Guiro from the Plena tradition (Puerto Rico) called the Guicharo, and that one has very thin threads and its played with a metal brush type of "stick"... That one for sure will sound very different. I hope this helps you to understand whats going on with yours. Thanks for watching my videos. Edgardo.
Fantastic lesson very thorough. I was wondering if sometime in the future you could demonstrate Bembe, Rumba and the Cascara pattern on Guiro? I've heard this on old Cuban recordings probably played by Gustavo Tamayo and would like to see this actually played on a video tutorial. As always thank you!
+David Easter , yes indeed, the "Cáscara" pattern (derived from the Timbales, but also from similar patterns played accompanying Rumba,) is occasionally heard and played, specially in older recordings like albums of Johnny Pacheco (Dominican Flutist). It is used in "Conjunto" ensembles, using Conga and Bongó (without Timbales) and thus the Guiro covers a little bit of that roll. I didn't think of it, or I would have included that on the existing Guiro video. Thanks for checking in!
So what's interesting is that they had a version of this instrument before the introduction of the Calabash Gourd (African Origin), one of humanities longest domesticated vegetable.
Julio Ramos, gracias por tu comentario. Sin entrar en una larga discusión, la respuesta más directa es que el Inglés es el idioma internacional más hablado. En segundo lugar, es el idioma del país en el que vivo por más de 30 años ya. Me gustaría hacer los videos en ambos idiomas, pero serían larguísimos y quizás aburridos para todos. En pocas palabras no se puede complacer a todos los que ven estos videos. También alguien me puede preguntar porque nos los hago en Francés, etc etc. Hablo en Ingles porque la gente de China, Russia, Hungría, U.S.A, Alemania, etc, etc, que también mira estos videos no hablan el idioma natal mío y que tanto quiero que es el Español ó Castellano. Queridos videntes Latinos: no se ofendan que los quiero y respeto mucho. Aprendan de lo que estoy tocando, no de lo que estoy hablando. Que además se los estoy ofreciendo de manera gratuita y desinteresada, sólo por mantener la cultura y regalándoles información que me costó dinero, sudor, tiempo, etc, etc.ya que tuve que viajar e investigar por más de 30 años. Gracias por disfrutar de los videos. Con mucho respeto y aprecio: Edgardo.
Edgardo, nice answer, but with all due respect, the French and Chinese aren't going to be nearly as interested in the guiro as those who consider it to be a symbol of cultural pride...and someone with cultural pride is, to put it bluntly, not likely to want to hear another language describing "his" music. It's nice that you still have an accent, even after 30 years in an English-speaking country: That gives your voice some rhythm. :) That said, I can READ Spanish, but my hearing--and training--is not good enough to follow spoken Spanish at normal speeds, so I am personally grateful that you have done this in English. I would have liked to hear you play to a soundtrack, but I'm sure I can find some examples of the guiro in music, now that I know what to listen for. Thank you very much for this work!
Dance Papi you are confusing me when you said that the Guiro is a Latin instrument. Then you also said that the Taino native people of Kuba had this instrument before the arrival of the europeans. The Latin people are they not Italians? Please educate me. Nonetheless your presentation is flawless you are a versatile percussionist. Where can i get a Tee-shirt like the one you have on, I love that tee shirt, Adios mi hermano, estoy Lumumba en las islas de las Virgeness.
Apoyo totalmente este comentario, seria buenísimo tener los vídeos en español. No solo este de güiro sino todos los de congas, bongos y los instrumentos que puedas xD. Saludos desde Venezuela...
es sencillo... si lo hace e español, casi nadie veria el video, especialmente el publico de habla inglesa... de todas maneras, el ingles que habla es bien pronunciado, intelegible y comprensible
Creo que estás equivocado, donde él se mueve, todos entienden el español mejor que nosotros. Me alegro mucho que el ingles que habla, sea bien pronunciado, intelegible y comprensible, pero es para los angloparlantes.

Where can I get this güiro?

I love the way they used it on the Rolling Stones Song Gimme Shelter
I wish there was version of these videos for children!:) This is great!
That's a great idea!
In my missionary travels I gave a Guicha / Guiro to a wonderful Believer in India. He loved playing it in Bible Fellowships.
The Guiro can lift any soul!
Donde puodo comprar un guiro come el suyo?
Buenos días Edgardo.
Tus vídeos los puedo encontrar en Español?

Hola Julio, El Bolero se acompaña con Maracas, no Guiro... Gracias por tu comentario y apoyo a mis videos. Edgardo.

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between salsa guiro and chacha guiro? If there is a difference.
Hi, The only difference is the speed, as the Guaracha can be much faster, but bear in mind that in the Guaracha (because the Guaracha is more related to Son music than Cha-Cha,) the Maracas may be a more appropriate accompanying instrument. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Mine is different then your's and it sounds different! What do I do?
Embrace the difference!

I like this video. I think the gourd is warmer than the plastic, or is that just me?
Muchas gracias. Me paso in orchard beach, bronx nueva yor en el verano con mis bongos, cow bell, clave palos, y quiro.
En Venezuela este instrumento lo llamamos Güiro, la charrasca es otra cosa, o sea un instrumento de metal con que se toca la gaita Zuliana.
This is a brilliant lesson, thank you :-)
