Those two songs are cool! I don't play "the jetster", but I do
play "el gato" when I can find my capo. To play it like it is on
the cd, I have to capo my guitar at the 2nd fret (I think). I
don't think they used a capo, probably re-tuned the guitar, but I
could be wrong. I read that these songs were recorded in Clovis,
New mexico, where all the Buddy Holly tracks were cut, as well as
the Fireballs. Very cool sound. Hard to duplicate. Fairly easy
songs until you try to play them with a group, then the little
details of the original recordings become obvious.
