One of Santana's greatest covers including his characteristic on fire solo. This version is clocked to match the Moonflower album version, from the intro beginning through to the end of the lyrics. The end drum & rhythm breaks as well as the final solos are not built into this version. The song...

Lots of effort for 45 seconds of music but nothing puts a smile on everyone's face when you've ripped through the orchestral version of Darth Vader's theme. The intro timing is 1bt=Gm, 2bt=Gm, 3bt=triplet Gm, 4bt=tuplet(5)Ebm. If you're doing guitar,the Gm voicing is a power chord=low G,mute out...

A one note song and how many chord permutations can ACJ wring out of it.....you gotta love the guy! There are dozens of versions of the tune but this track is built from Jobim's well known 1960's instrumental recording with Creed Taylor. The key, the timing, and the arrangement mirror that...

I posted a couple of Christmas tunes the other day and they got moved to a sub file, 'Holiday 100'. Since then those 2 songs don't show up in my profile and when you do a search by song name or song author, they are non existent. However if you scroll manually thru the Holiday 100 file it is...

Jingle Bell Rock (Bobby Helms version) It's a classic. From Hank Garland's killer intro lick to Bobby Helm's wonderful twank accent - it's timeless. This version is clocked to match Helm's recording so you can sing along, or insert the cool rockabilly licks, or just Twist (if the mood is...

The total song suitable as a backing track for you and your uke or just going karaoke. The original song is all Iz's breath taking voice with just a shade of his ukelele. So that is what this version reflects, a sparse track that strives to stay out of your way. You can mimic Iz's uke with a...

Fantastic instrumental by a fantastic player. This is the total song with the exception of a shortened mid solo section - it's 1 verse only due to space constraints. The mix is for bass and drums only.....turnoff the piano. The shown chords are strictly landmarks to visually keep track of where...

The total song with spaces for all the great solos and rhythm breaks. I chose this Cuban rhythm because of the terrific percussion. However, the bass likes to come in ahead of the beat. I can live with that. But any of the Latin based drums will work fine if you want to customize this version to...

The total song all timed and spaced to match the original record. I chose a Cuban rhythm because of the terrific percussion. However the bass likes to come in ahead of the beat. I can live with it. But any of the Latin based drums will work fine if you want to customize it to your taste. The...

The total song, intro, solo, etc all timed to the record arrangement. Not quite as gritty as the original, the feel here is uptown swing. But that is the rythm that fits best. 1)Intro 2)Verse 3)Verse 4)Solo 5)Chorus 6) Verse 7)Chorus 8)Verse 9)Ending Rockin' Robin - Bobby Day Version - Jimmie Thomas

The total song, soup to nuts. Solos, breaks, intros all clocked to match the record. Disclaimer; the Db chord of the chord riff is not there physically - it is implied. It's a between beat chord and if forced in, totally blows the timing and 'feel'. To fit the song into the 12 bar parameter...

An Inventive Adaptation!! That means you can't program eigth notes, syncopated chords, JPJ's terrific bass groove, and only one octave of bass notes BUT I still gotta channel Jimmie Page and loud. So this version is in time, follows the record arrangement, is a believeable backing track, and is...

One of the top five for most fimilar Hawaiian tunes and one of the most useful if you are gigging. It's a long song of almost epic dimensions so the arrangement is built simple and you can alter the setup to suit you....1) Intro. 2) One verse to the song end. Aloha! Hawaiian Wedding Song -...

Said to be one of the most beautiful and erotic Hawaiian love poems. While this is a long song, it is a simple song relying on the evocative powers of the singer. So for a hundred years musicians have been doctoring up the chord voicings to enhance the musical foundation. And no doubt you will...

Traditional Hawaiian really but I know of the song mostly from a Gabby Pahinui/Ry Colder album from long ago...beautiful steel guitar, the sound of swaying palms and the break on a distant reef. I kept the chords easy so you can add your own voicings. The form is 1) Intro 2) 2Verses. 3) Chorus...

Rudolph, stripped to his essential bare Christmasness. Suitable for easy guitar, karaoke, or spontaneous improvising. Aisatsu. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (zen guitar version) - Gene Autry
