It's too bad, I would have liked to hear that groove you tried to send. I think hotmail doesn't like messages that are more than 1 meg. I could give you my real e-mail but I'll get spammed for sure.

Anyway here's a guaguanco, pronouced "gwawanko", I'll only give you the basic conga melody cuz it might be a little intricate to write the rhythms on this virtual noiseless drumbox :-).

It's a cuban rythm that grooves a lot. I'm sure you could apply it to any form of music.

In the real style, the music can be played 2 ways that is dictated by the clave "key". One is the 2/3 clave which goes like this:

1...2...3...4...
x x x x x

and the other is the 3/2:

1...2...3...4...
x x x x x

The measure is reversed. Play it and try to feel the 2 ways you can play the rhythm.

You can hear the music in 2 different perpectives.

All forms of cuban music relies on that key (played usually with wooden stick).

This the basic conga rythm:

Here's the drumset version (can be played different ways). It only mimicks the traditional percussion parts.

Here's a funkier version on drum set.

Remember: snrghost is snare drum played at low volume.
(ghost notes).

Play it with a straight feeling or with a swing feeling (slower tempos)

Here's funky groove with a jazz ride pattern.

Play this with a swing/loose feeling. Think "jazz".
