There's a member here named Ricardo (Richard) who
can play Jucal.
But he's a WAY advanced, long time player.

I wouldnt suggest something on that level, unless you're
near a pro level.

But hey, i guess it doesnt hurt to try.
While you're at it, might as well try some
falsettas from PDLs Homage e Sabicas/ Bulerias.
If you can play one, you can play anything.

There are some very difficult left hand things that take a lot of work. The rhythms are very synchopated at times. There is a transcription book for Gerardo by Alain Faucher which is very accurate, although there are 2 very big timing mistakes in the transcription of "Jucal". I think the falseta he repeats 4x at the end is a good one to start on, and is accessable to most intermediate players.
