"Spanish Flea" is a popular song written by Julius Wechter in the 1960s with lyrics by Cissy Wechter.
The song is best known from an instrumental version by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, released as a B-side to the single "What Now My Love" and on their 1965 album Going Places. The album was a No. 1 hit in the U.S. and the single peaked at No 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gained a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental. "Spanish Flea" featured Alpert's trumpet over a Latin rhythm backing.

I saw a Scandinavian band called “Tasty” play this number at this years Celebration of The Shadows” at Lakeside Frimley in September which inspired me to record a guitar version.

My son Andrew made a Backing Track for me which is available to purchase here along with the FREE Tabs :- [ Ссылка ]

Played on my Restored 1963 Fender Telecaster through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 1-68 Classic Twang. Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the Video takes in Sony Vegas Pro 9.
