In this lesson I'm sharing Cuban Surf Guitar soloing ideas I picked up from the record Mambo Sinuendo by Manuel Galban and Ry Cooder. We're primarily focusing on how to play, understand and solo with the harmonic minor scale. Manuel Galban's music is a perfect blend of reverb drenched guitars and Cuban Son music.

Ahh thanks, bruv, that is cool as fuck . Thanks for the lesson.
As a guitarist from Miami, literally life long surrrrrounded by Cuban guitar, there is almost zero TH-cam representation up of this epic subject. Please Jason, take the thread and undo the whole sweater. One can already understand harmonic minor, chromatic flare, and arpeggios…but putting them all together in the brilliant phraseology of Cuban guitar is another level. It can also then help with Gypsy jazz soloing, Marc ribot style blues, surf phrasing, so there are bonuses. Even Cuban chord progressions lessons are under represented, especially ones being discussed as intervals rather than notes (which is the best way to teach.)
You’re filling a big TH-cam hole here, pllllease continue, you’re brilliant.
Thank you. I’m far from an expert on cuban music. Admittedly I know very little. All I can share with folks is the music that’s made an impact and the little discoveries I’ve made on incorporating it into my own playing. Hopefully I’ll inspire someone to dig deeper than me
@@JasonLoughlinMusic 10-4, but also working in these chromatics have helped a lot this week, a little in a lesson can go a long way. I’m going to try to hop in on the zoom saturday. If you can post the chord progression for the song that’d be awesome. If it’s in the lesson already, forgive the redundancy. I’m on a break from your pedal steel sounding licks lesson in order to do this one, it’s been superseded hahahaa ;);) cheers man, thanks for writing back. If this channel posts, i’m showin up for class 🤟
Hi, the post is in the description. All the materials including the backing track, progression, tab and notation along with lesson PDFs will be available to anyone who signs up. I just gave away a bunch of stuff in the video and ya know papa bear has bills… rent, food, car, insurance blah blah… haha. Not everything can be free here 😉 Hope to see ya there
@@JasonLoughlinMusic you sure did give a bunch away. at least this video made me spend all week on your website. Amazing stuff. I have a feeling papa bear's gonna get a bunch of my saved up pedal money 😆 looking forward to your classes. Cheers man, glad i found you.
put down the word literally and never, ever pick it up again.
I've seen a thousand videos on rock and blues but I haven't seen a single video on Cuban surf music.
Once again Jason is hip to the good stuff, that is criminally looked over.
Thanks. Honestly I'm just sharing the music that I love but I'm so glad to see other people connect to it too
Mambo Sinuendo is one of my all-time faves too. Thanks for the insight into the underlying style!
Man what a record! Thanks. Hopefully I'll see you at the masterclass.
This kind of stuff + Spaghetti Western, surf, and tropical is makes me want to wear a white linen suit and sip a smoky cocktail in an island nightclub.
I was fortunate to see Cuban legend Ibrahim Ferrer when he had Manuel Galban in his band. Talk about a fantastic guitarist. His work with Los Zafiros is excellent, as well.
I'd rather listen to this piece rather than 1/2 hour of so called " shredding" on electric guitar. This material is tremendous & looks difficult to play!😂
Cuban Music, A Jazzmaster, and some nice twists on chords- subbed. Nice work man.
Bro, I usually hate the intro pieces and skip them in other vids. That was EPIC! YESSS!
This has been my favorite album since I purchased it at Reggae on the River in 2003. What a great soundtrack to cruising the Redwoods.
Ah Reggae on the River...
This is the lesson I've been waiting for all my life. It's a bit over my head but I've always loved that sound.
Thanks. Come to the masterclass and maybe things will click
You should do a whole class series on Lounge Music Vibes of the World. There's so much good stuff down there.
Check out his TrueFire courses
I can’t like this enough!!!
Thanks Jeff!!
Can someone recommend some more guitarists like this from the 50s/60s, it reminds me of Psychedelic Cumbia.
Oh my, this might be the best guitar lesson I’ve ever witnessed.
Ha Thanks!
What a great video, not a lot of guitarist connect arpeggios to scales in this musical way. Also playing in just 1 position helps to understand the concept better. Subscribed!
I've been waiting for this lesson for ... 21 years! Such a great album, one of the best ever!
Thank You Jason.... these scales add sooooo much to my playing. Amazing
Viva Cuba! Surf's up! 🇨🇺 🏄🏻
Never heard of Cuban surf music! And I’m Cuban! I guess it makes sense. I love those Spanish melodies, just makes you want to dance.
This is an inspiring lesson on a particular style of music. It gets to the heart and soul of Cuban surf and clearly sets you on the path with the harmonic minor scale, which is beautiful. I used to have great hair when I had hair.
I discovered this channel this week and am simply amazed at the content - original, well explained, very useful
This last chord knocks me out
That's great Jason. I knew about buena vista but not this. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this! Very practical way to look at this scale, and very musical as well.
Damn that Lake Placid Blue Jazzmaster looks mint! And such unique playing to compliment it
Ocean Turquoise baby
Right on
The combination of harmonic minor, cuban rhythms and short reverb surf guitar is just awesome. Marc Ribot used a lot of this.
Mambo Sinuendo has been in my top ten for a long time. Such a great album
beautiful playing, I could listen all day.
Jason you're an incredible teacher. Thanks for your insight sir:) ✌️😎
Oooh, great lesson! Love knocking around in the harmonic minor scale. It’s a pretty fun way to move up and down the fretboard once you learn the pretty simple patterns.👍🍻
Thank you Jason for another FaaanTastical lesson on a wonderful, albeit obscure, topic!!!! I heard this album back in the 90s shortly after it came out. I LOVE it. Keep up the great work.
Thanks
Ha. Always loved that sound , think I’ve been playing it without knowing. Was always a bit put off by the name Harmonic minor scale , thought it might be some Hungarian harpsichord classical thing🙄.
But Minor 3rd major 7th - luv that combination.
Thanks for spelling it out.
Screenshotted the album cover when you popped it up and emailed it to myself
Thanks
Luv your sharing
Dig it...I'm 100% in for the masterclass. Nice stuff Jason. 🎶😎
See you there
Manuel Galban was the guitarrist of Los Zafiros, tremendos
Among other groups, yes
Was skeptical until I heard you play. Really enjoyed it.
Love your playing, love the way you see things, and sharing it. I’m with you know ! Thanks 🙏
I love that album. Great lesson and looking forward to the masterclass!!
Thanks! See ya there
I’ve been looking for a class like this for years. Thank you so much
Awesome! I am just now putting together some guys to play this kind of stuff.
Nice!
One of my favorite albums of all time!
Nice! Very well explained.
Didn't know Cuban surf guitar was a thing, haven't watched this video yet, but this is the coolest video thumbnail I've seen in a long time.
Can’t wait for the masterclass!
See ya there
Gosh, that's pearly! Wonderful, thank you!
Nice tone from those pickups.
P90s
Jazzmaster pickups. Not the same as P90s
@@JasonLoughlinMusic ah thanks for the distinction
Great video brother and great LP recommendation, aloha from the Uk
What a coincidence, I love Cuban Surf Guitar!
the audio is very zen
Just tooo cool Jason. This reminds me of Esquivel, Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
So rad.i def need to incorporate this into my song writing.thank you😊🤟
Well this tune is mine but I encourage you to write your own!
Man I Love this stuff...never even knew of this hybrid!...thanks for putting it up
You have a great touch. Nice playing!
Holy... WTAF... This is amazing! Damn man, THANK you for sharing this. Made my month.
Thanks!
Really tasteful phrasing and amazing tone. Sounds dope bro.
Thanks also for pointing out this great album ❤
This video got recommended to me and I just got back into composing music recently. Crazy enough, I just finished mixing a Ska song I Composed the horns using the harmonic minor scale and oddly enough.. the song is inspired by a cuban restaurant I used to work at, haha! It's an instrumental kinda in the inspiration of some older jazz and Skatalites. Awesome video btw!
Cuban Surf Music?! Sign me up!
way to get me on a ry cooder retrospective! on paradise and lunch rn
1:27….lick Django Style applied on Mambo Mood! Amazing ❤ cheers from Italy 🇮🇹
Well more like a Spanish lick that Django lifted and also found its way to Cube. Pulling from the same sources
@@JasonLoughlinMusic love your style…the video is in loop from this afternoon and i’m trying all the licks frame by frame. Love it🫶
Thank you! Such great playing and clear teaching!
Wonderful!
always a Great Opening to these lessons.
Thanks
ive learned a ton here.
thank You
Dude, never heard of you before but definitely subscribing!
Oh yeah, that’s the stuff of dreams! How can that be so exciting and relaxing at the same time?
So good.
Finally some good Music on YT, thanks a lot
Funny , was listening to chinito chinito this morning , then discovered you on the tube ! 👏👏👏
This is amazing, very tasteful ❤
Barbarito Torres and Rubén González, 2 great harmonic minor cuban music improvisers which I know you must know, please make a video on them.
Absolutely love this lesson and explanation! Really inspiring to get back to this scale again, but with this cuban/surf-style ^_^
Love this so much! Great tones and tonalities!
I've been sleeping on Mambo Sinuendo. Any more recommendations with this vibe?
Coolest thing I’ve heard in a long time-shame on me!
Love it-thanks!
Great Job, super smooth Surf sound!
Will your upcoming master class teach how to play that intro musical piece (with tab)? I have to learn how to play it. I adore it and think it is a masterpiece.
Thanks. Yes I’ll be teaching this tune and solo. Includes tab, notation and backing track
Sweet bro, Im Cuban and Id never heard of this. Great vid👍
Amazing!! This is what I’ve waiting for!! Thank you
the audio is very Zen
Absolutely beautiful stuff. Reminds me of Marc Robot, Tom Waits guitarist. Subscribed 👌🏼
Hi Jason, this was really cool..what are the chords in the backing track, do they utilise the minor tonic and and dominant V chord as you demonstrated, would this vamp be typical of this style of Cuban surf music, thank you!
P.s Hi man, I would appreciate a reply when you can, thanks
Great video, I'm going to be saving this one
BRAVO!
this is really cool playing!!
Really nice playing, brother. I subscribed instantly.
Thanks for the sub!
Fire 🔥
Greasy man! Love love life. Do you have any psych cumbia tips?
No. I've only listened, never played it
Great teaching man, excellent content and demeanor.
What Cuban Surf means?
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jason 😂❤😊
Thanks
What a great unique lesson, bravo ! new sub added for sure
Love that opening song, do you have backing tracks and tabs in that style we can buy?
Yes it’s part of the masterclass happening this Saturday. Link in description
Que bueno todo! Suscribed and enjoying all this great lessons!
Very nice guitar playing, It's so nice to listen to something medium tempo, and musical, rather than these dreaded shreders, a thousand notes a minute, and not one musical, well played.
There is no wrong way to play the guitar
I feel ya. Nothing wrong with that. I play that way sometimes but I do feel like we're bombarded with only that on social media
Amen! 🙏
I'll take mood and feeling over technical wankery any day
Check out Charlie Robbins. Or just put this video on 1.75 speed.
@@analyticequalsnot the same style.. also he has a very modern sound. Very different from what we’re trying to accomplish here. Just a reminder playing fast has to be in service of the music otherwise you’re just wanking.. this music doesn’t want ripping guitar so play accordingly
Thank you bro.
Wow sounds good 😊
Dude fuck yeah
That is way cool guitar flavor!!!
Very cool!
Great playing.
