sergio Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 My interpretation of a popular song by Mexican composer Gabriel Ruiz Galindo. Please visit my page www.sergiosongs.com for my original songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m10538 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nice tune, kinda reminds me of the old campy song by Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias To All The Girls I've Loved Before. This is much more enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks! There are so many songs that I grew up with, and this is one of my favorites (but I have MANY favorites!). BTW, I've been spending some time viewing and searching for videos explaining theory. I"m getting some stuff, but I can see that a lot of what they talk about is irrelevant to someone like me who doesn't read music, and the number of flats and sharps on a scale is meaningless info. BUT, I did have a couple of years of studying guitar (not classical, just songs), and I DID gain a lot of understanding of keys and how they related to each other. I was just an adolescent, but I believe that all that info is still "wired into" my brain, and I'm trying to bridge the memories from those lessons with the experience I've gained in the last 3 or 4 years just playing by ear. Anyway, I'm just rambling, but I have a feeling that it's worthwhile for me to do that. I've been letting myself be driven by "instinct" (with prudence), a departure from my normal behavior.

m10538 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've found a lot of people on the internet that "play by ear", and what they play is completely good music. Simply by playing and practicing you find out what's possible with your instrument. To come up with something just in your head and write it down in music notation is a talent I never had, you'd have to be some kind of musical Einstein to do that I suppose!

sergio Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 True. And with recording features already built into keyboards, there are alternatives for preserving a song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
