The sincopa is a type of tango rhythm. There are a few variations for this rhythm. If you don't know how to count a rhythm, check the second Tango note (http://www.walzguitar.com/notes/2008 05 19Tango Rhythms 2 Milonga.php) or click the 'tango' tag above. Here's a couple ways to apply these. The simple way is to just strum on the taps. Another way is to play the bass notes of a chord on the taps and the higher notes of the chord on the non-tap beats. Be creative and figure out a way you like to play the rhythm. The three varieties are shown below.
