Pedro Sierra tabs for Pimientito
Here's a very basic tab. In the first one, you play i-m-i for those hiccups every string, and the rest ligado. And the other one is just an arpeggio to pull-off to index and a slide with index down. Harmonically, it works for me like a hybrid scale thingy, with notes from E13 and to phrygian etc... if that makes sense, whatever... hahaha

Conrad...You Hero!! Thanks a lot. Its 5-tuplets like Ricardo says...although I've not come across this before...I dont know why but it sure works. Ricardo- How does this work in Taranta? Who else does this style of run? Takitaka- The Dflat makes sense in the run and you can do it with ami Gerardo tehnique. I dont know if Sierra is doing that but I'm sure gonna learn it the Gerardo way.

Hm, I gave a shot at transcribing both clips. this is what i came up with. the bottom three measures are just variations on the same thing. the last measure is what i guess is played in the clip.
Could anyone elaborate on the right hand fingerings for that last run?
