Kei’s Song by David Benoit

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 on an acoustic guitar with electric piano-sounding synthesizer, I was impressed. So it could be played on a guitar, but to use a nylon guitar without any effects? It was definitely a challenge. My first attempt to transpose it was difficult as I have to change a lot of chords and to play the strings like bass and piano to sound like the original? After a few evenings after work, I got the beat going and a few nights more it was already playable. I have to clean my act for the recording, its not perfect! I hope you like it.
