HI,

GOOD JOB! I was wondering if you have her video.  If you do, is the arrangement written out, or did you have to figure the whole thing out by ear?

[Fretliner]

@pffddspc Thx. The video is on YouTube. She has a semi-official fan site with some transcriptions including this, even though it's not 100% right and I changed it a bit.

Nice version and playing, man. Btw, what's your opinion on CEC 5? seems to be ok for the price.

[Fretliner]

Thanks; and yes, CEC-5 is great value for money - very playable and versatile

sounds great man. I love that song. I'd only known it in Abbie Lincoln's vocal version which is lovely. check it out if you haven't heard it.

[Fretliner]

Thanks! will look up the vocal version (did not find one on YouTube)

great version, played ever so slightly too fast for my liking but great playing nonetheless!

just bought a CEC 5 Nat and brought it home.> que rico... I love this guitar.. smallish, light, great neck shape.. and the sound.. well, just listen.. amplified or not.. a real addition to my fleet.
