This is my Kiko Loureiro “Ray Of Life” chord transcription and/or harmonization. Original song is played
on trio format with drums and bass. I have my own cover played over my own backing track recorded with
my Parker electro-acoustic sound and electronic drums, playing the melody also with my Parker.
You can follow chord changes as I play them in my YouTube channel video:

(Chord changes can be also read on notes in the video)
You can also check out my whole cover with the melody in my YouTube channel:
