The right place to start if you're new to Cuban music, Latin jazz, or salsa piano. This is the foundational guajira montuno in 4/4, built on one of the most standard harmonic sequences in Cuban music.
One PDF, one practice track that covers every variation inside it — designed to be simple to use, not simple in what it teaches.
What you'll practice:
Harmonic anticipation
Small rhythmic variations on the basic montuno
Arpeggios and the double-note montuno
Playing the same idea in different inversions between the two hands
This is the same PDF I use on YouTube to introduce new students to the montuno concept — and the same one used inside the Cuban Montunos Intensive course, where it's explained in more depth and built on throughout the curriculum.
