So I’ve been working on finally REALLY learning how to play Chick Corea’s Spain.
This is what I typically do when I really want to learn how to play a song. I gather related videos, resources, tutorials, recordings etc. to help me find the best way (and possible ways to look at the song).
Maybe this can help you too. If you have any questions about the piece, feel free to email me.
This is my recent tutorial video on my process of learning the song. It also includes my scale & arpeggio choices for the piece.
Here’s the original version from Chick:
