Play-along Demo: Desafinado

Desafinado — Premium Play-along Track with Guitar Melody Played

I, (Curt) originally created these tracks to perform over for gigs and this was a demo for booking gigs.

These Premium Play-along Tracks are available to LearningUkulele.com and Learning Ukulele with Curt Site Members and are my personal one-of-kind tracks I (Curt) and Chuck Anderson recorded and arranged.

Rolling Stone ranked the song #281 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The first four lines of the song are sung, not by Wonder, but by Jim Gilstrap and Lani Groves. The single version of the song differs from the album version with the addition of horns to the mix.
