I was originally taught to think of the second pattern as mostly a slower Yambu pattern, and the first for a Guaguanco.. But, most of the group that plays in Humboldt seems to prefer that second pattern at all speeds... Though there are others like myself who prefer that first pattern and don't get yelled at,, as if really no-one cares..
Obviously most of the descarga you hear from most of the ripping groups like Los Munequitos use the first pattern on Guaguanco.. So, it seems to echo what I had been taught.
But, I'm left dumfounded..,,, curious what others say to this one.. Especially since, to this day, I have real trouble playing the second fuller pattern at high speeds..
