After imbibing on the aforementioned 'goose' in guitpic1's thread, I decided to record and post this ...
John C mentioned in another thread about just using Pads on some songs ... this one uses a stripped down style, 4 guitar pads, and two RH voices ... and a little harmony ...

Right off the Pa900... no editing ...

My apologies to Eva, Judy, Don Mason, Jerry Lee and the rest ...

Tony nice job. Two suggestions.

1- Keep varying the pads with added parts of the style. For the first try, great.

2-Next time you sing this song wear your tight pants. This has to be one of the most difficult songs to sing. (smile) Jumping an octave is not an easy task. Over 60 it hurts.

Nicely done Tony. I've never used pads much. Interesting way to generate the accompaniment.

God Bless,
Don

4- Finger Snaps
These four can add excitement if they are used sparingly. By adding finger snaps you create a grove.
5- Soft Strings
6- Horn Riff
7- Jazz, Rock or blues Piano riffs brings a nice change to a boring style.

There is no end to what you can do with Latin music and percussion.

Sometimes I mute everything but the Drums and Bass and add all four pads. The pads might be: Bass Drum, Snaps, Horns, and Strings. Toward the end of a upbeat song might use the style and the pads.

Listen to a song, the band keeps changing, no boredom – and when the singer sings the band really gets in the background. Both on Korg and Yamaha they have a dedicated control to mute parts of the style. The secret is imagination.

Very nice rendition Tony. Sounded to me like a cross between the traditional and the more contemporary Hawaiian version. I enjoyed It 👍🏼

Donny, that was an outstanding rendition of my favorite song. I've seen this one before and it never ceases to amaze me.
