Spain - Chick Corea

Here is a complete and more correct playable version of Spain with space for solos. Not nice to look at, but usable in gigs.
I set the structure in A-B-C-A-B-C-D-Segno-C-Dx2-Segno-C-Dx2-Segno-A-B-C-Fine.
Since I sing, there's chords in A and C sections, which can of course be removed (how fantastic iRealb is!!).


Spain Chick Corea

There's another version of Spain in another post which is shorter. I edited it to play the complete C section correctly, plus corrected non-playability because of empty measures, but left the good readability. Called it "economical" because it lacks A section and has just the basic - and most important - changes.

Here's aversion with intro and solo sections. The notation is the best I could do on one page with such a tricky format and the player doesn't play it properly but if you've heard the song...
Spain (complete) - Chick Corea
 
Fully playable version of Chick Corea's Spain, taken from Light As A Feather album,
consists of the intro, solos, interlude and outro.

Unfortunately, the visibility of the chart is heavily sacrificed by the correct structure!!

Note that the Aranjuez part cannot be real in its tempo,
and you may want to skip the first 22 bars when you play this chart.
Also, the repeat time of the solo part of each instrument (between interludes) is fixed to 4 times,
including the interlude at the 4th repeat (the chords are the same as the solo part).

Spain - Chick Corea - full song

This is my version of Spain. I set the structure as well as the original tune.
Enjoy the playing on the backing track and please give me any feedback you're would like to.

I love this tune.

When Chick plays it.

For me, it's a headache. I could never accurately get through that syncopated section.

Cheers,

Hi! I'm brand new to iReal Pro and am looking for a more complete backing track for "Spain", ideally with the Concerto de Aranuez intro but at least with space for the intro licks. Does anyone know where I can find this? Much obliged!
