ABSINTHE of Dominic Miller's eponymous album in 2019

Dominic James Miller  is an Argentine-born guitarist. With much of his career as a sideman and guitarist for singer Sting, he has also released several solo albums.

Formidable guitarist as comfortable in a latin american repertoire as in pop with a telecaster

By his eclecticism he is of course a model for me

To play this piece ABSINTHE I have neither partition, nor tablature I thus made all by raising with the ear
This is the first part, quite slow so not too difficult to read,...the second part is another story

Unfortunately I don't have a bandoneon :(  (I would love to have one, but it's expensive), so I replaced it by the Melodica, a nice and low cost instrument which sound like the bandoneon

JP, tu fais ce que tu dois. Tu as fait ici un beau rendu. Charmant et émotif. Doux et relaxant. Guérison. De bons choix sur tous les instruments compte tenu de votre disponibilité. Jolis effets également.

JP, you do what you must.  You have made a beautiful rendering here.  Lovely and emotive.  Soft and relaxing.  Healing.  Good choices on all instruments considering your availability of them.  Lovely effects also.

Thank you Stephen

It is a piece not easy without score or tablature..and not very demonstrative of the talent of Dominic Miller, the second part is much more complex (too complex)...to be heard by the author on YT ;)
