this is a follow on from the Paco Peña/Niño Ricardo Zambra request thread, here posting a couple of other things in a separate thread. As I said before, I made these about 10 years ago and haven't checked them or anything since. They have now been imporoved and converted to PDF by Dina2010 (thanks!)
EDIT: 12/12/2017 I just re-visited this tangos, went through the audio and re-learnt it. Then checked this old tab - it's pretty badly inaccurate! Lots of individual notes are sharp/flat, some chords are not quite right, there are notes played lightly with index above bass melodies that are missing. One falseta I worked out with pulgar should be pulgar with indice... the list goes on.... but I guess it was kinda vaguely in the ballpark....
OK, I don't have much written out in tab as yet, but here's a bulerías falseta that Paco taught in Castres in 1977; it makes a good alzapúa exercise. Up and down strokes with the thumb are indicated by solid arrows.
I've written it with the bar starting on beat 12, but the falseta itself starts on 9½.
Captain Esteban: Caballeros! I believe you all know each other? Don Diego from San Fernando. Don Francisco from San Jose. Don Fernando from San Diego. Don Jose from San Bernardino. Luis Obispo from Bakersfield.
Your web browser try to open Guitar Pro file and of course it cannot. Just do not open file, only by right button of your mouse choose “Save as…”.
Thanks. It seemed to work, and in fact did work for the JPEG of the petenera Canción; but TuxGuitar 1.2 couldn’t open the others, even though it's supposed to be able to handle .gp5.
Not to worry, I have transcriptions of those anyway.
I wonder if the fact that I'm using a Mac has anything to do with it?
Paco taught this at Castres in 1980. I didn't write it down because I was preoccupied with this beautiful French girl I had met. But I think I can remember most of it if I dredge my memory (30 years ago? Aauugghh!).
First you should click on “Attachment (1)”. After that, we get small window with the file. Now, do not click on the file (it means, do not try open it), but try to save it. In windows machines we have something called “Popup Menu”, which we get by clicking right button of the mouse. If this does not work, try to use another web browser.
We have PopUp windows on the Mac, too, but things are working differently:
• When I click on a .pdf name, I get a choice (among other things) of downloading it opening it. Both work.
• When I click on a .jpg name, it opens immediately (in Firefox). I can then choose Save Page As… from the File menu, and it saves properly.
• When I click a .gp4 (or .gp5) name, however, I get the aforesaid Not found message. If I right-click, the only applicable option is Save Link As…, and that just saves the error message.
What's strange about this is that it's only Guitar Pro files that seem to be the problem: I would have expected either all or none.
I have, incidentally, tried Firefox, Safari, Opera & Netscape, all with the same result.
Hmm, maybe I should try firing up Internet explorer on my old OS 9 Mac G3.
I have the same problem. I read a post about copying the URL on the error page and pasting it in the file name field in the open file dialog but I tried it on my PC running vista and guitar pro 6 and it did not work. Neither did right clicking on the file name and picking "save as". I can open or save a pdf with no problem. ??????????????
ust do not open file, only by right button of your mouse choose “Save as…
Hmm. When I right click the attachment I get an option to "save the link as" and that saves the link to the foro page.
Any other suggestions?
PS thanks for posting these -- I hope I can see them. I am a Paco Pena fan too.

Probably yes. I changed all .gp5 files for .gp4, so now all should work :).
Hmm. I was able to download the first three (maybe before you changed to GP4?) but now can't download or even view.
