Hi everybody, I'm just looking for the tab of Pa la pimpi by tomatito for so long time, I cannot find it on the web. If someone have it or at least all the chords during the "cante" it will be perfect.

I could help you if I would be in my homecountry.. But im not..so.. you get help from somebody else or just wait some month...
Ok some info on that one. The guitar for acompaniment has different tunig than the first guitar as I read in that book where the transcription is. There was also a specific reason why tomatito changed that, but i dont remember.

I dont think there is a tab of it? I searched for it years ago and found nothing. I doubt that the song has two different tunings as he plays this on concerts. Not sure but i think its just his Canillo Viejo tuning DADGBbD.
I have a book in germany and theres the complete tab for 1st and second guitar in it.. + cante. All very precisely. Its written by a guy whose bulerias tabs I didn´t like so much in past...but its actually pretty good.
The same serias has books out for Habichuela, Viejin, Riqueni..
If I remember right.. the tuning isn´t that difficult. Just the lowr E string lowered to D. But Im not sure..its long time ago when I had a look on it.

Hi everybody. I didn't come back for a long time on internet so I forgot about my request until today...But i see there's a lot of answers, thanks for all.
I already saw this book mark but (for me) it's very expensive, furthermore for one song only. So this evening I searched it by ear, I found something, I don't think it's perfect but if you want to try and bring some ameliorations that's cool. It's just the part during the "cante" I didn't write the strumming and the little harmonies (sometimes we play some changements in the chord, but I wrote just the base).
If you interested I did the same for this greeeeat guajira, with all the little notes (this time), it's easy to upload I can give you what I found.
If you go back to your homecountry one day doitsujin, i would be interested for the rest of the piece. It would be so long to find it by ear.
I didn't mentionned, i did that with a normal tuning.
Hope you understand everything I say (i'm not a native english).
Hey Flo, I'm good. Not much traditional playing has been done for a while. I got RSI and it stuffed me up. I've been doing the rumba thing which has stuffed me up. It's good for money here in Oz but my arms don't like it. I've been getting back into Flamenco over the last few months and its been great, although i'm leaving this band and moving to france. I'll have more time to practice and won't have to play rumba. So, i hope to be on the forum more often. I hope you're well and I'm sure your playing is coming along nicely, i may post something soon as i'm starting to record my own stuff. I've been going nuts with Dr Compas!! Olé
