Indeed, and it looks like I will be forced to learn this by ear/sight here...

Harry, I'll be waiting for your transcription ;)

BTW, don't forget to reference Grisha's awesome performance of La Canada when he visited GSI.

I saw one floating around on the net.... can't remember where though - sorry, that's not very helpful

I'll have a look see if I kept a copy.

Edit: doesn't look like it

Definitely,

I have been watching it very closely. It is really better than nothing. Just knowing the tuning and seeing the chord/hand positions really really helps. Between this and the amazing slow downer I should be ok

Easy thing, if you're just not able to learn it by ear you schouldn't learn that piece. That piece is for the real pros..

RE: La Canada tangos (in reply to charles)

I have a silly question regarding the tuning of the 6th string to A.
Are you supposed to reach that A on te 6th bass string by loosening the string or by tightening it?
Seriously, I have an impression that tightening the string will make it break (I think I tried it once years ago), and loosening the string will make it so loose that it won't play.
