Andrea,
I think you're right about California Dreamin' the reverb isn't near as heavy. I've listened to Desifinado but not the other 2, I'll have a listen to the guitars in those too.
As I mentioned earlier, I think it is difficult at best to emulate a guitar on keys. Of course you have to temper my comments with the critical ear of being a guitar player as well. I'm sure a sax or a whatever player would say the same too, about any of us trying to emulate their instrument on keys.
You being a keyboard player would listen to my playing on the keys and say....what's up with that, because you can hear things being a keyboardist that I don't.
jam on,
Terry
