Let the melody sing
The accepted opening and bass, followed by a more spacious original solo at 0:42. The same broad pacing, with fewer runs and more held notes.
Small semitone turns and descending minor phrases give the melody a Spanish color. Longer notes sing with a very slight, delayed vibrato. The spaces leave room for the bass to answer.
Guitar melody and bass, with no added chord layer. The bass is identical to the gentler-bass version. Guitar vibrato comes from small changes in the simulated string tension. No samples. No added chords. The solo is our composition over the tune’s changes, not a transcription of Pat Metheny’s performance.
