Big Ballad Singer Mexican Folk and related instruments (3) Mexican Folk and related instruments 09 Aug 10

I am a fan of ranchero and norteno music and Mexican culture in general.

While I know there are instruments typical of mariachi bands and so on, I am wondering what instrument a solo musician might play to accompany himself in the various styles.

Would a guitar suffice across the board? Would perhaps a requinto or bajo sexto be more authentic?

I play the guitar and several other instruments fairly well, but if there is any instrument that simply is THE sound to have in a certain style of Mexican music, please let me know.

Muchas Gracias,

BBS
