Transcription by Hugo Pablo Ferpozzi

Gentlemen,
I 've transcribed Al's parts mostly, because Paco's parts are rimthmical =
at first.
Maybe the positions of the fingers are not exactly the same, but =
soundsthe most=20
accurate way as possible.=20
Al plays a steel-string guitar using a pick (quite thin, I think), while =
paco uses a
nylon-string, of course, and for sure, using his fingers.
I couldn't transcribe all the song, it's just impossible, I wrote down =
only the part
I can play following the music, after that, Al starts picking ultra-fast =
and I get
lost inmediatly.
I must thank Eric Shen because his transcriptions of the studio version =
of Mediterranean
Sundance helped me very much.
These tabs are a bit untidy perhaps, but that's all Tab 'o Bucket's =
fault, though it's
an useful soft.

I don't think that it would be a great idea to make the WHOLE tab from =
this song, it would be impossible to read, thus impossible to play.

Above the lines there are the chords Paco plays, or some othernotes to =
make it more=20
clear. By the way, I hope it helps you and if you have whatever to say =
about this, just mail
me: *
