Yasser Tejeda Breaks Down Dominican Guitar Styles

[@RJRonquillo]

This is awesome! When I lived in Miami I would hear this style coming out of the local rehearsal rooms. That chorus sound brings me back.

[@Reverb]

Super cool, R.J.! Yasser had the crew dancing behind the camera the whole time :)

[@YasserTejeda]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Blessings!

[@veshaw.]

Aye cuh people talk down about Florida but All the different cultures I've been exposed the food the music the ladies it's been a blessing for me ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@FantasticExplorers]

I feel like the entire world needs more of this kind of music!!!

[@veshaw.]

Shot out to this young brother for acknowledging his African Roots ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@YasserTejeda]

Blessings!

[@LouBanga47]

Seeing this really makes me happy. I’m an American born Dominican so I always grew up around bachata and merengue but always gravitated more towards American music. Now that I’m older, I want to get in touch with my roots and maybe play some of these tunes for the family one day.

[@TheComicBookLowdown]

I hope things have worked out for you. I read your comment and thought I was reading about myself.

[@Sysgrunge]

So proud of you Yasser you are representing the Dominican people around the world my bro God Bless You.

[@YasserTejeda]

Thank you so much! Abrazos!

[@leonardsrobert]

This is great!! What a lovely and passionate guy! And a monster guitar player as well. I'm going to check out his music!

[@YasserTejeda]

Thank you so much!

[@AlejandroMartinez-ne8rw]

Gracias a la inmigración dominicana hemos podido tener un contacto mas cercano aqui en Uruguay a la cultura del merengue y la bachata. Esas guitarras son geniales. Gracias Yasser Tejeda por compartir tanta riqueza cultural y enriquecernos a todos.

[@danielkongmusic]

This is amazing! More of this please: maybe a video on Cuban guitar styles, and perhaps another on Saharan guitar music. Yasser is incredible, what a fantastic groove and sound!

[@FantasticExplorers]

GOD YES!!!

[@alejandroblanco2071]

Saharan guitar yes!!!

[@sirloifior]

Yeah. Tuareg style....

[@MrWumbologist]

This was such a cool introduction to these styles of music, thanks Mr Tejeda!

[@yelenypio757]

Very interesting interview.. Loved it!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@YasserTejeda]

[@William_Stephens]

I recently moved back to the states after living in the DR for 3 years. Miss the whole vibe of the country. I had a son while I was there so I definitely want him to have a strong foundation rooted in both sides. Dominican music like bachata and merengue as well as African American music like delta blues, jazz and rock n roll.its fun diving into Dominican music and history.

[@seanturcott6170]

Love these styles which are literally foreign to me as a Texas born metal guitar player so having fun learning. Love the DR so it takes me back there when I hear it. Thanks for the video!

[@RijoBeats]

🔥🔥🔥 Learned a lot from this. Shouts to the whole team. Salute Yasser. Pa lante

[@joostchili22]

That is some great guitar playing! Truly inspirational!

[@hans-hinrichthedens706]

Wonderful! This must be the first time I hear Dominican music without an accordion. Greetings to Nueva Yoy!

[@Arpurin]

Must be cibaeño

[@CDesMuzic]

I had the same type of experience where I wouldn't even think of playing "popular" or roots music from my country until I grew up and started expanding my playing and as well as my ears (something that I think happens to every musician in every country and culture), thats when I felt connected to the music that was playing Yasser, just hearing that playing coming from that strat tone and the combinations of latin (especially afrodominican) and hard modern stuff I just felt enamored, thats when I started going back and now thats one of the genres I play the most and what connects me the most to my roots, Yasser, mis respetos!

[@YasserTejeda]

Gracias hermano! Igualmente!

[@joecozzi]

What a fantastic interview! Thank you for featuring such a wonderful artist and highlighting the wonderful culture of the Dominican Republic.

[@Francisepdrums]

Durísimo como siempre, poniendo la bandera en alto! 🇩🇴🤙🏽🔥

[@ZackRL96]

I can't get over that lovely clean tone

[@OliverVegaHidalgo]

Respect to whoever found those pictures of Luis Diaz. He was a hard to photograph men.

[@CamiloVelandia]

[@YasserTejeda]

Thank you brother!

[@afgg118]

so cool. I really believe the future of guitar is embracing the styles that we all love like rock, blues and jazz but looking for these kind of different cultures sounds.

[@davidacosta3874]

This is making me want to learn my 🇩🇴 🎸 roots and I found a new artist. Love what you do Reverb 🙏🏻

[@YasserTejeda]

Yes!!!

[@luimi360]

El Domii representando!!!

[@SC_eternal]

[@RegusClase]

Necesitamos este increíble video en español para compartirlo con personas que no hablan inglés

[@RJD18437]

Love this! Learned a lot I didn’t know about before today!!

[@Weily_Alcequiez]

Yasser es un guitarrista fenomenal! arriba dominicana!

[@TimothyPage06]

This is an incredible video! And what an profound sense of rhythm this guy has too,

[@000jetaly]

Increible talento y en vivo suena igual que en los discos sin fallos. Sacando la guitarra de sus lugares abituales felicidades

[@davidmunoz8215]

Increíble video. Yasser es un guitartista que no sólo rescata las tradiciones, sino que sabe reconciliarlas y hacerlas sonar atemporales. Disfruté de aprender un poco de historia, también!

[@flashinthepan1965]

This was fantastic! Let keep the variety coming! Music is a celebration 🎉 Thanks !

[@xacalus]

Bravo Yasser, con los ojo’ aguao y de to’

[@YasserTejeda]

uffff Gracias!

[@prangel03]

This video was awesome!!!!! I loved it! More like this please! 👍👍

[@shaneharrington3655]

Awesome style.

[@neutronjockey]

Joan Soriano is one of my favorite 2nd wave bachateros- he bridges the gap between the shared heritage of Dominican bachata and bachata hatienne. iASO records is making sure that island artists are paid fairly for their work - and is working to train the next generation of bachata musicians with their Bachata Academy.

[@mcastromusic]

YASSER TEJEDA!!! Woooooooiiiii!!

[@jesusw.delcarpiosantana9170]

Excelente video, contenido, explicación y música. Muy merecida entrevista. Éxitos! 👌👍

[@knucklesprayer]

Compadre Yasser gracias por compartir, se que también lo haces en tú canal, pero con Reverb va a llegar a muchas más partes. Soy Colombiano y veo que muchos ritmos afro comparten varias similitudes, emigrando también vi la necesidad de tocar y mostrar más mis raises con mis gustos adquiridos. Gracias por tanta inspiración.

[@YasserTejeda]

Gracias Santiago!

[@galipote]

Amazing! Well presented and beautifull implemented. Thank You!

[@ChristophHenrici]

[@senoralecthompson]

Great stuff. Can’t imagine Mark Agnesi engaging with this music on the Gibson channel 😂

[@smbmxdirt3427]

What a great video

[@smoothwadee23]

Wow 🔥 need to get more into this culture and style myself

[@hybridangel3403]

Caribbean people should bring Soca, Calypso, Reggae, Bachata, Salsa togeather.

[@davidacosta3874]

Would love to see Yasser’s guitar routine with Joe on Reverb 🙏🏻😊

[@YasserTejeda]

I'm super down to do it! Thanks

[@MrFrankie4700]

Hell yeah

[@raullukebenitez7033]

I just added a new guitar hero to my list. I never seen Bachata played on a strat 😂. That blew my mind

[@YasserTejeda]

[@rimabaker]

[@Highrollinhunter]

I'm half Puerto Rican I play salsa on bass and Thrash Metal on my SG. I might try to play Bachata on my SG even it has high output pickups.

[@felixmartinmusic]

Love that new Strat! Great playing! Jimi Hendrix has influenced all of us players, apparently. 👍👍

[@danzellisdeman1]

[@doubled5383]

The rhythms are just so hard. No 3/4 or 4/4 here haha.

[@bluedyeno1]

Holy shit.

[@Michael-777-7]

so its just chorus magic and sometimes octaves to make it sound more full and delay some times too with jazz type chords interesting

[@otherw1s3]
