Hi all,
Has anyone heard the version of Caravan on Joscho Stephan's Swing News? I'm wondering if it falls into some convenient category...I want to say Rhumba when I hear it, but I'm not sure. Then, too, it changes slightly at the bridge.
At any rate, I've been trying to follow it with mixed degrees of success, but if anyone's got some basic picking direction for the rhythm part-accents, etc., I'd love to see it. One other interesting note: from the video I've seen, his rhythm player (uncle or dad, I think) seems to play without a pick...
Best,
Jack.

Hi Jack,
yes it´s true: Joscho´s father always plays without a pick. He is used to play rhythm only with his thumb.
By the way: Since a few years Moritz Weiss is soloing only with his right thumb. It looks a little bit like a kind of high-speed-Wes-Montgomery…

I'm embarrassed to say the rhythm on this tune is still stumping me...I'm screwing up the accents somewhere...can anyone help a brother out?
Thanks,
Jack.

the clave accents are played on the one, the two-and, and the four.
