from the NG - oct.2007 - - "Miguel." I saw GL perform it live one time in the early '70s
but in the next concert a couple of years later when he was taking
requests yelled out by the audience, he declined stating, "That one's too
hard and we're out of practice."

For his part, Red Shea does a pretty good job of making a six-string
acoustic sound like a classical guitar. I'm no musician, but I've
heard that the classical guitar is said to be a difficult instrument
to learn how to play well (look at Liona Boyd's hands when she plays
and you'll get an idea as to what I'm talking about). That said, I can
see what a feat it would be to make a standard six string sound the
way it does on "Miguel".
