interesting despite that its a demo its still hard to believe that the guitarist is playing a few of the chords wrong throughout the song.one example is when he sings the words "my baby" at 1:06 and "everything" at 1:19 you can hear the improper chord conflicting with the vocal.hard to believe that Ritchie or the guitarist didnt catch this.when you listen to other versions of this song the guitar is playing the proper (non conflicting)chord.

@chriskartub "interesting despite that its a demo its still hard to believe that the guitarist is playing a few of the chords wrong throughout the song"

I think is Ritchie on his own playing guitar here

this version is better than the Los Lobos one, thumbs up if you agree

[jmpfuckoff]

U can bearley hear him singing lol

[princeofthemods69]

@chriskartub Tbh, the biggest mistake on guitar is when he sings "I'll always". But yeah, there are slight mistakes in the parts you pointed out. He stays on Cmaj and doesn't change it to C minor and doesn't add the 7ths in a few parts. Still good to hear though.

Los Lobos Is Better ♥

@chriskartub If you did know mistakes like this were common back in the days. specially when a lot of the recording were done "live". maybe its not the fact that he played the chords wrong maybe its just the fact that it went off beat. if you listen to any oldie like Beatles etc their music is never on beat thats why its a little harder to mix. or maybe ritchie just wanted to play it like this after all it was just a demo nothing serious

I'm in my 20's and La Bamba was one of my favorite movies as a kid and not to mention singers.

THis is the first time I heard this in so many years. A few wrong chords (which another poster mentioned) don't detract from the heart and soul of this singer and his song. It's pure and beautiful. mrs Vela

@davlor86 I do agree, but the Los Lobos version is nothing to sneeze at. This one, is the original.

[Burco1]

To hear his voice, knowing how young he was when he died, is truely touching...

[SAINTJIMMYROTTEN]

@rjb073 This is his best..The studio version really messed his voice up
