Gorgeous Smith! You are going to regret this one!
Pedro is a great guy and an amazing bassplayer -you can deal
with confidence.
by the way, you should post an audio clip especially if you recorded your arrangement of “Cana Brava” with the Smith.

Can't get over how some players, play more notes in one song, than I do in a whole month!............kidding. What a beautiful representation of the "Smith" sound. What articulation, and string muting! Nothing but the note. GLWYS!
