That was really nice--into my "meditation" playlist .I stumbled on it looking for a latino version of for dancing a rumba with my GF-- yours is not suitable for a rumba, but nice to relax to.
@Jigaboo123456 Thanks for commenting George. Sorry I couldn't accompany you and your GF dancing the rumba - that would be very cool. But being part of your meditation playlist is compliment enough. James in the USA but originally from England.
@jasmo58 HI James-- That would indeed be very cool, doinga rumba with my lady with a private accompaniment. I'm a romantic at heart, I should pay a musician for that, but I'm too Scottish -ie a tight git!
hope youa re enjoying life over the Pond, was there with (our) Army in '70 and drove from NY to Brownsvill TX in '78, then after a couple of moths in Latin America drove an Auto Driveaway deal from Dallss to Jackson ville Fla- -then hitched down to the Keys for a while- happy days!
@HCHRYSLER I'm afraid not close enough to NYC to help. Thanks for the kind comment. Trust yourself, your ear, your eye and the tab that I link to in the blurb. You'll have your own unique version of Maria Elena in next to no time.
Great job jasmo. I have enjoyed this Ry Cooder arrangement. Your take on it is quite beautiful. I have never tried to learn this song but you give me a great head start. I also play Police Dog which Ry did so well. You probably do to.
@eastriverbluesband Thanks for listening eastriver - I play it slightly differently now but it's still a great piece. And yes I do play Police Dog Blues but it's not quite Ry's version. Happy picking.
same as last time mate.den at the north west parachute centre.wonderfull playing.come for a visit.then i can smash my guitar up in front of u.i never wud but good on u for great dedication to a wonderfull instrument and tune.long live ry cooder.
excellent version.acoustic at its best.love the harmonics.i think ill sell my guitar.den from the north west parachute centre uk if u give free lessons.keep up the good work mate.
Thanks for your comment. If you check out the tab that's linked to in the blurb about the video you should be able to break this down bar by bar. Good Luck.
That was really beautiful. It reminds me of being in the car with my dad when I was a little kid... he used to have it on an old mix tape. It gives me goosebumps when I listen to it now :)
Thank you very much! :)
