This is a very Spanish piece, which should not be played at all so mathematically as the regularity of the tab might suggest. The version played by Angel Romero is so full of fermatas everywhere that I didn't even try to put them all in - you must hear it performed. The left-hand fingering is just a suggestion (it's how I play it). Comments and corrections welcome! ============================================================= Notation used in this tab: | bar divisor = sustain/duration / slide up p pull-off h hammer-on c1 partial

to keep the same style as his tab.
