Cajón beats

A collection of cajón beats

Not really cajón specific :: 2021-07-05

This is a collection of beats meant to be played on a cajón. They could indeed be played on any other instrument, but they come from various cajón tutorials.

Note: I named them after the beat basics. This may not be standard (whatever "standard" means).

B: Bass S: Snare Lowercase: ghost note R/L: Right/Left hand
