But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker
And the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter
And the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice
He's just got to find
Another place to play
Anyway
Got to play
Anyway
Got to play

Claudio Light Improvises on the Chick Corea Tune "Spain"
November 29, 2008Speaking of the song “Spain,” written by Armando (Chick) Corea and which Armando (Boyet) Navajas played in the previous video, here’s Claudio Light, a 39-year-old guitar player from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who improvises on the tune using a classical guitar. I believe he also did the backing track.
I picked up a lot from Claudio’s playing on this video. He’s improvising, he’s got a good jazz vocabulary, and he plays the lines so smoothly and fluidly.
It was actually Mr. Navajas who taught me how to play this tune (except the improvisation) after he studied and learned Larry Coryell’s acoustic version of the song note for note. Pareng Boyet, mamulot ka na rin dito.
