@petahbuilt1 Yea he does the flamenco parts on Valeri. The way I understand it (and I could be wrong) is that every musician in the building tried to record that part and none could quite get it right until Shelton took a crack at it. I've always been amazed by that particular piece and I've heard others play it but the guys in the studio were right, no one quite gets it as right as Louie Shelton.

It's great to see the lead break played by the guy who created it.I've been wantin' to learn that solo for a long time.

It's great to finally see the solo played by the guy who created it.I've been wantin' to learn that break for a long time. Now if only the gentleman singin' would learn the words...........
