Esperanza

Music by Anthony Phillips ('Private Parts & Pieces III').

A few comments on this post:

Tuning used on the 12-string is DGDGAD.
This one is another 'leftover' that I rescued from my files. It was meant to be played on two 12-string but at some point, while trying to find out the notes for the second guitar, I got really frustrated and decided to leave it like this.
Very tricky arpeggios on this one, very noticeable flaws here and there. If that wasn't enough I had to cope with the recent heavy fret buzz on my 12-string (I really need to fix this!).
In spite of all that I hope you enjoy this 'hopeless' "Esperanza" (with "z"!).

Oh, and 'Esperanza' means hope in spanish.

Hey, thanks man. That means a lot to me.

But wait till you hear the original, lots of strings there!

Hope they release a new remaster of Private Parts & Pieces III for this year too.
