Stop attempting to play tunes that are beyond your capabilities. For a month, study only the initial exercises in the Bradbury tutor book and the earlier one by Ellis and then post some recordings of them.

It's no issue. Ah I see!

In the Eureka method, it's a very easy tune, Ian.

Bradbury does not have you elevate the bass or play this until the very end of volume one.  Given, his arrangement is more substantial, but there is a reason he waits so long.

I would say that back to the basic exercises with a strong focus on counting and time is the best path forward.  Follow the graded path and if you are able to cleanly play all the pieces in Bradbury when you get to Spanish Fandango you will be able to play it.

On reflection, my strongest recommendation is that you concentrate on exercises 1 to 27 in the Barnes and Mullins book. 

Do read the 'The Importance Of Practice And Patience' on page 12.

Don't use a metronome if it is going to be a distraction. 

Focus on playing each exercise exactly as it is written and don't rush through them.

I look forward to hearing your recordings.
