Arranged for nylon guitar by Android Bat One of the best pieces of David Benoit, and a personal favorite. It was released in 1987 and was still popular to smooth jazz lovers until the late 1990s. It’s a song you don’t attempt to play on a guitar, but when I saw this guy play it […]

Arranged for nylon guitar by Android Bat A neo-classical composition of Enya released in 1988. This is my guitar arrangement in F#, a note higher than Enya’s version. The guitar timbre sounded better at this key. The tempo is not a bit consistent as I tried to play it with the timing of the ocean […]

This is my second take after finding my previous video has corrupted audio and my performance was a bit of a disaster (just a few months after recovering from arthritis on my left fingers). I tried to improve this based on EK’s solo version on his 2013 HandPicked album. I was playing the old version […]

Modified arrangement by Android Bat This song was on the debut album “Earl Klugh” released in 1976, produced by Dave Gruisin and interestinly Lee Ritenour was on the backing guitar. I prefer EK’s early albums where the guitar is more dominant than the background. During the early years, his talent is raw and more aggressive […]

It’s a natural thing! This song was popular during the 80s and it sounds very EK, pure guitar. With a little practice, a novice fingerstyle guitarist can play this tune, the chords are simple and the tempo is slow. I think EK’s version is a little faster. I have not played this before, but while […]

This song was composed by George Canseco for a film shown in the Philippines in 1983 bearing the same title. In English, the title means “What will the morning bring” (loose translation). It’s a beautiful romantic song where many artists played and sang through the years. This is my own arrangement, and its a big […]

Dr Macumba is the first song in Earl Klugh’s Finger Paintings (1977) album. The base at the beginning seems daunting because I don’t play bass but I did a little practice for this solo. You will notice that the chords are mostly Brazilian which shows the strong influence of this genre in Earl Klugh’s early […]

The song Pretty World was composed by Antonio Adolfo Sabayo, a Brazilian, and made famous by Sergio Mendes and other artists including Earl Klugh who played this in his 1979 album “Heart String”. My first attempt on Earl Klugh’s version was in 1981 which, just like my other pieces, was inferior and remained unchanged until […]

A Burt Bacharach composition, played by Earl Klugh in his first released album (1976). When I first heard this on a cassette tape, wow, I can’t get my hands off the guitar! This is the reason I learned EK’s guitar pieces, and I learn them by ear. You must know the song to play this […]

My version based on Earl Klugh’s Long Ago & Far Away, sang by James Taylor in his 1971 album (Mudslide Slim). Recorded using a Taylor Nylon guitar with the original ES pickup. I started playing this version in 1978 but I upscaled this to the 3rd fret and did some improvements. There are still some […]

My first public recording on this Youtube channel on June 6, 2022. A test recording actually and I want to keep it here for posterity! This one is recorded on a webcam using my training guitar.

Recorded on September 25, 2021. This was my first attempt on recording the guitar. It was published on Youtube on a different account. During this time, I was trying out my webcams, multi-media software, microphones, etc. It was only a couple of months before that I began playing the guitar again after a bout with […]
