C) Anyone play that style?
D) Are there any books for the Gringos to learn from? |

Almost all of the Mariachi music I have done in Minneapolis has been by ear. These guys learn to play that way at a young age. Somebody would have to transcribe all the tunes on paper. Lots of work...............
But boy, is it fun to play!
(And be around all the muy bueno Senoritas)
Ole!
