[jazz] A lesson by La Grive Musicienne: Cantaloupe Island by Herbie Hancock

This French, Parisian guitar teacher officiating under the nickname of La grive musicienne is fantastic.
He doesn't try to be or look cool, he's just showing the viewers how to play a specific song on the guitar, with his own arrangement (always very close to the original).
Of course it's all in french, but he really takes everthing apart, step by step, so even if you don't speak a bloody word of French, you shouldn't get lost.

Okay, there is also lots of rubbish: many songs he proposes are crap... but there are gems, too: like Cantaloupe Island, by Herbie Hancock.





I was trying to play the song on the guitar for a while, but I never found a convincing way.

But now, thanks to La grive musicienne, I know how I should work it.
