De que me sirve la vida- Camila Cover by @eduardo900613 & @rikardonaranjo

Last week I received the pleasant visit of my friend @rikardonaranjo at my wife's house, @mariolisrnaranjo, who is also his cousin. So we are family, as they say, he came to fulfill a personal call. Since some time ago I was telling him about doing something together, with his guitar accompaniment. This was postponed over time, as he is a very busy person. I really don't know how he manages to divide himself between the many things he does at the same time.

He arrived, as usual, with his guitar on his back and it was my wife who greeted him at the door. I was in the room with my guitar in hand, pulling out a few chords of a song to cover. So it was a while later, when he surprised me with the news that he was bringing me an extra guitar that he owned. The guitar that he tells me he uses it for his students, and that for the moment it was in his house without use.

So he decided to bring it to me to lend it to me for a while, perhaps after reading about my untimely mishap with the sixth string of mine, which no longer sounds like it used to. While I had the guitar in my possession, I squeezed all the juice I could out of it in several recordings; however, the happiness in the poor man's house was short-lived, as a new student appeared who needed it.

I returned to mine a little discouraged, but what can you do? You have to make firewood with the stick you have, don't you? Besides, the story wasn't over yet. Before taking the guitar away, Raulito told me that everything seemed fine with my strings. When I showed him how the sixth and the fifth sounded the same in the tuner of the Guitar Tuna app. Until he takes it in his hands, and detects the real problem, the fifth did not sound as it should be.

For a few minutes I collapsed, I thought I would have to hang up my gloves until April 18, when my brother is scheduled to fly from Venezuela on vacation. And you may wonder what one thing has to do with the other, well, I got my skates on in time. So that my brother, through the buying and selling site Mercado Libre, which we had used on more than one occasion, to buy some other implement.

Of which I will tell you about when I get my hands on them, I was finally able to locate and buy a set of guitar strings. Actually, I bought two: one to put on as soon as I get my hands on them, the other will be a spare. But rest assured that this is not the end, it turns out that looking in my bag with which I cover the guitar I found my salvation.

In a small envelope, where I have some strings that my friend @longevoatrevido gave me years ago. There was a fifth string that miraculously the Guitar Tuna app could finally detect, the change was total, I gave a jump of joy that seemed like a boy. This time I bring you a cover that I recorded with my friend @rikardonaranjo, accompanied by his guitar.

The song is called "What good is life to me", by the Mexican band Camila, of which you know I am a super fan of their music. So I won't keep you any longer my friends, I hope you can enjoy the magic of the video. Please let me know in the comments if you liked how it turned out. If you have any recommendations, that would be appreciated as well. "Until a next video, guys".
