The Music Warrior Network

One subject per site. This one stops at the tres — here is who covers the rest, and why you would go there.

What this site is for

Tres Warrior covers one instrument: the Cuban tres, three doubled courses tuned G–C–E. That is the whole subject. Because it is the whole subject, every page can assume the figure — the repeating one-bar cell that is how this instrument states harmony — and write from there. A site that also had to explain strumming, flatpicking and bowing could not put the guajeo at the centre of every chord page the way this one does.

The same narrowness is why the cells get their own engine here and chords do not get a strum pattern. It is also why a tres page is the wrong place for most questions that are not about a tres. Pointing you at the site that owns the question is more useful than a thin section written here for completeness.

Where to go instead

How the sites divide the work

Each instrument family has exactly one home, and kinship follows strings and tuning rather than geography or body shape. The tres claims only itself: the Puerto Rican cuatro is a different instrument with a different home, however often the two share a stage, and the guitar the tres physically resembles is four strings and a worldview away.

String Warrior is the one site that does not work this way. It carries every instrument at once, which is what lets it lay the same chord across twenty necks side by side — something no single-family site here can do, and the reason this one does not try.

More sites are still being built, and each will join the list above the day it opens — not before, since a door onto a site that cannot be read yet helps nobody.
