Pedro Sierra - Farruca

Hi,
I'm working on Pedro Sierra's Farruca 'Cadencioso' from his CD Nikelao.

I'm picking up a lot from the video but I still need help.
Has anybody come accross a tab or score?
Thanks

Nice song. If you have the talent, maybe you can modify the parts you can't copy to sound like your own modifications of the song? It would be more interesting. I can imagine it being very difficult to copy note to note such a difficult song.

Thanks tele.
I'm confident that I can make it work. I'm just trying to make it easier (read: lazy)

Cheers

Lazy - nothing. Pedro Sierra is one of the top players today. My observations are that the basic chords in the first couple of minutes could be kept the same and you could simplify some of the faster picados and ligados which would keep the overall effect good.
The arpeggio section is quite long but at least the right hand is always the same. There are a couple of big left hand stretches though.
From 4.30 to 5.00 needs a lot of practice with the thumb but the basic pattern repeats so once you have figured out the riff, just play it in circles.
