Nelson Gonzalez - Tres Guitar Method

Mel Bay Publications
In standard notation
For beginning to advanced players

As the instrument's name implies, the tres has three courses of double or triple strings and is used both as a lead and an accompaniment instrument.
The author includes instructions for converting a normal 6-string guitar to a tres guitar, offering suggestions for appropriate string gauges.
The method contains Latin folksongs arranged for the beginning tres player, often syncopated underlying vamps called montunos. The book also presents all principal chords and scale patterns plus notation fundamentals- all beautifully illustrated with clear photos, diagrams and explanations.
