    This is so spot on, thank you! You have the notes perfect.

      It is amazing how he plays with so much precision on a nylon string.

      @@ErnestoHomeyer Indeed! One thing is, I've never been able to find any live footage of him playing the middle upward runs up the neck. I wonder why, was he not able to play that part? For example, he totally skips over it in this clip and he seems to do that in every other one as well. ua-cam.com/video/KFmcleq-ZZc/v-deo.html

    For anyone who can't figure an Esus4, 'Spanish Fly' is way beyond their playing level.

    Thank you so much for this! I was stuck like crazy using another youtube video that and I just couldn't get that repeated pattern before the legato and tapping quite fast enough. Turns out when I listened to it slowly the run on the other video was wrong, it wasn't me playing it too slowly.
    Your video helped me correct the lick - although it's frustrating I have to practice to get it up to speed all over again because I wasted my time on the other video! I even had the b and g string lick before it wrong too which I have to get up to speed as well.
    Usually I don't bother with thumbs uping, commenting or liking but this was so helpful you deserve it! Now it feels like with practice I'll be able to get it right, and this has sent me in the right direction for using my time now.

      Glad this helped you! With Edward it's all about the correct fingerings.

      Eddie had a big hand and long fingers, and from so much piano playing the first finger-pinky strength was insane as well!
