    Damn, this is exactly the kind of straight up salsa piano lesson that I always wanted to learn. It's the perfect foundation, because from this you can develop a whole bunch of spin off patterns just by changing the syncopation and timing and even the voicings. Thank you so much! God bless you for sharing this. Can't wait to try it out.

    Jonny, this is what I've been looking for for years. I've only just started listening, and hope that there will be notation to visualise where the beats fall in each bar. I have neuro-cognitive and short term memory problems, but understand chords when seen on the piano keyboard, while the rhythm is seen on the score, as in a graphic grid form - which corresponds with percussion instruments. I use Cubase to record, but will also practice these rhythms.
    I'm from an era where I can remember that dancing was easy to keep the beat without the monotonous 4 kick beats that became what people called dance from about the eighties. Before that the bass was the rhythm, and in Latin it is from several sources.
    This is what makes it so exciting. I'm hoping to create a blend of synthetic, orchestral and 'ethnic' dance music for something that most would dance to. I'm curious as to whether the techno-oriented 'rave' crowd' would have 'mass lessons' on the side - if DJs would play 'new Latin', or Latin-based dance.
    My health has deteriorated since I stopped dancing. The joy of Latin dancing is perhaps one reason why Cuba, poorer than USA, has a higher life expectancy! Perhaps even crime rates can be lowered - if people had more communicative or cooperative dancing.
    I like the quick chord changes and the chromatic use of notes, especially the flattened ninth and fifth, where two notes a semitone apart are played together, and normally frowned upon in western music. I will be interested in seeing what Jazz does. Some 'musos' seem to want to keep it a 'secret' to themselves - without patience for those with musical 'disabilities'.
    Thanks.

    I know the video says "Latin Jazz," but I wanted to add some perspective from the dance side of things as someone who has had the privilege of playing in that context for almost 20 years, including trips to study with musicians down in Cuba. There's some good info here, but I think there are some important things missing. Regarding voicings/texture, this is fine for a solo or duo gig without a bass player, but it's not what you would play in a Latin dance band. For that context, the first and fifth fingers of the right hand would be consistently playing octaves, leaving 2,3, and 4 to fill in the other voices, the left hand would be playing in a higher register closer to the right, and the two hands would be locked in rhythmic unison, giving a more muscular, more reinforced sound. Once timbales, congas, bongo/bell, güiro, and maracas are incorporated into the mix, those closed voicings you're playing in the right hand just aren't going to cut through. Another note regarding the rhythmic flow of clave, you'll get a much more authentic feel by removing that beat three on the second bar. Clave has a constant flow back and forth between grounding down beats and syncopation. Pulling out that beat three leaving the second bar more syncopated keeps the energy flowing and not feeling quite so heavy and tied to the ground, which will make people dance more. :) I think it's great that you're exposing people to this music, so I hope I don't come across as overly critical. Just hoping to add some broader context.

    I would've preferred to see a more typical tumbao pattern in the left hand with the 1 2+ 4 2+ 4 2+ 4 2+... as opposed to all upbeats to emphasize even more contrast in syncopation between the tumbao and the montuno.
