Lovely Weather was written by Nato Lima and he and his brother recorded it on the RCA LP The Mellow Guitar Moods of Los Indios Trabajaras.

I can hear three distinct instruments in this recording:  Chet playing a Del Vecchio resonator guitar, a rhythm guitarist playing a nylon string guitar, and a bass player.

The piece is very straight forward and mostly in the first or open position.  No impossible stretches or technical activities can be found.  It's just a pretty piece of music.

Measure 103:  While transcribing the rhythm section I noticed for the first time that there are at least two and possibly three harmonics.  As they are very low in amplitude, I'm guessing the rhythm guitarist played them.  They are so low that I've never noticed them before today and debated the value of leaving them in.    c          0x   %).38 %).38Chet r              c          0x  %).38 %).38Timing/Chords r     c          0p  %).38 %).38Rhythm guitar       c           0 5:?D        Bass m guitar     
