Thanks in advance

Hello Wayne

Saw your post and just today pencilled out a very basic tab for this song. Will send it out in a day or two. Let's work together on this and then we will let Ricky, Bengt, Dave and others do the final editing. I'm just learning to tab and this is a good challange for me. Are there other solos you like? Right now I'm tabbing "Moonglow" and "The Shadow of your Smile". They are almost ready for posting, hoping I'll get some help.
Best Holiday Wishes......Fred

Here is my feeble attempt. I did this from memory so God knows if it's all here or not. All comments are more than welcome. Happy New Year!......Fred

Slick,
Check your email.
A copy of my arrangement is on it's way.
Good Luck,
Don

Fred. Looks like you got it all there.
At least the way I know the song.
I have never seen the original notes to "blue spanish eyes"
It was fun to play it across the strings using your tab.
This is how I play it. Notes in () optional.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Jeff Newman has just released a CD and tab of 16 tracks entitled 'Just Jammin' and one of those is Blue Spanish Eyes! I've been trying to play it all over the Xmas holidays!

Posted: **2 Jan 2001 4:43 am**

Bengt

Thanks so much, I'm going to try that right now. I heard Curly Chalker play the tune on C6th many years ago and it just stuck in my mind. Best Wishes......Fred

Note to Don...How about posting your tab on here too!......Thanks ..Fred

Posted: **2 Jan 2001 5:52 am**

Fred & Bengt,
Check your mail.
A copy is on it's way.
I can't post it but if you'd like a copy with the notation.
Email me as I don't check the forum daily.

Bobbe Seymore does this song on Steel Guitar Favorites (cassette). He also has a pretty good tab book to go along with it.

Posted: **2 Jan 2001 6:20 pm**

Hi Fred, I am sure that the guys will appreciate your tabbbing "Moonglow" and "Shadow of your smile".

I have played most of those old tunes, and have enjoyed them.

I tabbed "the shadow of your smile" on paper with pen, for a friend of mine. Tried to do it just way I would play it.

I don't know how to get it on the Forum or computer though. If someone will show me how, I will try and put it on.
Happy New Century.....al

Bengt and Don

I've created a monster with "eyes". First, I play my version and then, Bengt, play yours (it has a much more Spanish sound with the 10th string, thank you). And then with a quick little Spanish Modulation such as:

BB CCC DD DDD then break in with Don's version in G, and oh yeah, don't forget the Cha Cha Cha on the end, ha. And of course, Bengt, another great exercise on the Majors

Thanks to Bengt, Don and me. I have leaned one heck of an arrangement to this song. I know you will do well with Mr. Jeff's tab. I am not familiar with what Jeff has done but I'm sure it is great. Thank you Bengt and Don, and good luck Wayne!.....Fred
