[yogertlvr]

I am so glad that you said that in your information about the dating game, cause when I first heard this song, I thought of the dating game. Great playing and I subbed just because of this song. Wtg

[handsomepianist]

Nice guitar rendition. This is one of my favorite compositions. I first heard this song when I was somewhere between 3 to 5 years old (if my memory serves me right). The version I heard was from Mantovani and His Orchestra. Before I heard the Herp Albert Version.

[leafygreeno]

[XanderBLEH]

*clicks favorite*

[EskimoJOE55]

I think people get paid to dislike things on youtube even if its amazing, like this video. Its gotta be the reason, because who would dislike this? Not kissin ass or anything, just saying.

[TheBuzzClan]

Hey, may I use this song in one of my videos?

[donnyoh]

Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass had a '60's hit with this Julius Wechter tune. I saw them in concert during the 60's. Jazz guitarist John Pisano, was a member of their road band. I recall his playing a Fender 12 string electric on "Spanish Flea." His rhythm playing added an amazing driving force to their sound!! Your arrangement brings back some great memories. Thanks.

[MsTaylor1991]

wow it is so happy and joyful ..yeah I am dancing now!!

[pastorius1]

WOW!

[flooflox]

Really enjoying your posts. Please, keep them coming.

[Polloradioactivo]

I love your music dude but how do you make to put al those videos in just one and make it sound like just one???

[Foodforwisdom]

@Polloradioactivo I think he used sony vegas software tool. He records each session separtely and the software just synchronizes all of the images into one video. But you need to play in correct rythm and beat because you can mess up the whole sound if one of the session doesnt complement all of the others. he probably put in some time with this video..

[PplusV]

Well done!!! Where can i get those Chords?

[rem193]

Herb Alpert and the tijuana brass play it.

[DanWec23]

this is an amazing arrangement! great job man! that's some serious talent. this song is a classic, from the dating game, to the simpsons, to "a cinderella story" and even as recent as the latest season of "america's got talent."

[MyGuitar4You]

Wow ! Great job.

[DudemanSwede]

Holovaty for President!

[wolfwood221]

Darn. I was expecting Van Halen's Spanish Flea. I was about to poop myself with excitement over that thought!

[1Ebird]

Well done as I said : Love your arrangements!

[markosongo]

Eric and Kathy in the mornings on 101.9 the mix!!!!

[trider23]

Do u have the chords for this one

[jkuebler89]

I can never even fathom why someone would give your videos a thumbs down. The only thing i can imagine is that they are so insanely jealous that their emotions override proper judgment. YOU AMAZE ME. So talented and diverse. But enough of this. I cant see the light anymore my heads so far up your ass. But i am a huge fan. Keep it up brother.

[joshacebabik]

yes! I LOVE Herb Alpert...more!!!

[theBradlands]

Terrific version. I've always wanted to be held off-stage in a sound-proof room before meeting 3 lovely bachlorettes.

[Valientherox]

Nothing is more satisfying that loading up YouTube and finding a new Adrian Holovaty video posted. This song is amazing and brilliant. Well done yet again :)

[VonnegutsProtege]

Ha! Brilliant! I love this song. Amazing as always.

[joeyjoejoejr82]

they (used to) reference this song so much on the simpsons... great work!

[yuffiepanda]

SO SASSY. I LOVE IT! <3

[MayerEO]

[loperaja]

I'm not nearly a musician, but you're a great one.Congratulations

[mojoroberts26]

Have to smile when you hear this song, I think it may be a law. Anyway great job, fun to hear it.

[pckim93]

Cool! Have you been working on your gypsy picking technique? It seems to be even better.

[Rotary5ive]

there was a little spanish flea, a record star he thought he'd be. he heard the singers like beatles and chipmunks he'd seen on tvvvvvvvvvv. Oh what a little spanish flea!

[dongsun24ify]

I love how many people are using wiki to use in their descriptions

[GreeneLanternn]

Awesome as always my friend!!

[LipiXx483]

love this! ;D

[Kwijimo98]

This song is amazing, and nice guitar skills dude. (:

[weekiatconqueror]

Hi, just wanna ask: why don't you do alternate picking? Isn't it more convenient?

[adrianholovaty]

@weekiatconqueror I use rest-stroke picking, which is normally what's used in gypsy-jazz style lead playing. I think it leads to a better tone, especially on this sort of guitar.

[weekiatconqueror]

@adrianholovaty ahhh i see.. Great stuff!

[doomeddisciple]

@weekiatconqueror  Cause that ain't the manouche way my friend.

[PrOzZKiLL]

[Poppinjack3207]

@Mightymidget567 clifford the big red dog

[SLGuitar92]

good stuff man (y)

[TomRAFC]

classic as always

[CaravanGuitars]

rocks as always.........

[MrRiffraff84]

I remember Homer Simpson singing this song in an early episode. But just for a few seconds.

[NeapolitanSixth]

As soon as the melody came in, all I could say was "OH YEAH HE DID!"

I'd tell you to DFTBA, but that clearly isn't an issue; you bring the awesome with every video. :-D

[allanrandy8]

Buenisimo, tocas la guitarra muy bien. te felicito y como uniste los 3 sonidos quedó perfecto n_n

[letspretendxc0re]

Thanks man for bringin me back with this tune, I loved listening to Herb Alpert when I was a kid, my dad got me into it.

[thornekatt]

I could listen to you ALL freakin' day! You rock!

[BakedPotato1]

Any way you could put some mp3 downloads on here? Would love to listen to your stuff on my way to work.

[tony7043]

Great Job !!

[cdjames10]

You've made my day!

Great job though :D

[bones22j]

[THEchriscola]

Nice job, as always!

[Dolphindream15]

hey your good buddy keep on playing dude!!

[AmishChildren]

Ahh.. Nice! This song always makes me happy. It's so simple, yet so effective. Thanks!

[LetTheMusicFlow1]

Tijuana Brass! ♥

[garrethdavis]

haha excellent!

[mcmatthewproductions]

So was there any difference in the bottom two or were you just playing it again for a layered effect?

[vguandbloopers]

@mcmatthewproductions if you look carefully you can easily see each one plays different notes for 80% of the song. (:

[mcmatthewproductions]

@vguandbloopers I saw one instance. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it looked like the same chords 90% of the time to me. I'm not talented enough to write compositions and it was great regardless. I was just wondering.

[vguandbloopers]

@mcmatthewproductions yeah right after the da DA DA duh DA part you can see the top part go higher into the guitar and the bottom right go lower.. (i dont play guitar so i dont know the terms)

[mcmatthewproductions]

@vguandbloopers Oh. I knew the top guitar was playing the melody. I was asking if the bottom left and bottom right had any difference from each other.

[vguandbloopers]

@mcmatthewproductions OH haha sorry. and i cant tell you that i think they just over lap... sorry i misread.

[adrianholovaty]

@mcmatthewproductions The bottom two guitars are playing the same thing -- I just wanted to beef up the sound.

[mcmatthewproductions]

@adrianholovaty Thought so. Sounds good.

[marino4691]

@adrianholovaty ye this sounds good ! good idea and playing

[slapstik89]

@adrianholovaty well it worked a treat! Nice one.

[Sionnix]

Wonderful! As per usual =D

[newporter42]

Marvelous !!

[stepott]

How do you put all your videos together like that and make them play at the same time??? I'm having major difficulties at getting it like tghus...

[naddog180]

What a blast! That was fun!

[m4tth3]

I have to agree with the fun part by Lara68. Couldnt stop smiling while watching

[Xerxes4242]

The only problem I have with this video is that someone in my house is vacuuming and I can't hear it over it:P

[totsmarkopolis]

dude!!!! hahahahahahaha!!!! i freaking LOVE THIS SONG!!!! sooooo awesome. you came out of left field with this one. i think this is my favorite of your renditions..... so sick!!!!

[1Sno1]

Easily one of the best renditions of this song I've ever heard.

Keep it up Adrian!

[LaraSixtyEight]

Fun!
