A Special Cuatro Technique
Everybody knows that little round-shaped toy that used to bring tons and tons of entertainment to kids back then before the internet. The Yoyo was not only a sensation but a way to train our minds and hands to be able to coordinate a complicated motion. This motion in principle is the one we will need to do a Cuatro technique that is now as “yoyo technique”.
The yoyo technique is used to create a repique during part of a measure, this repique is fairly known among cuatro players and now it is your opportunity to learn it.
