What does it sound like to you, open 3rd string or 2nd fret 3rd string? Which do you like best, open third string or second fret third string? Play that. Seriously. Play what you hear and/or what you like. It's your interpretation. You are much better off closing the book, slowing down the audio to half speed and learning it from that. Use software or a media player that allows you to loop small sections. If you can't get it from half speed audio you probably won't be able to play it anyway. I am not kidding, that's my experience.... and I wasted years of my life with transcriptions before I put them all back on the shelf and devoted myself to just trusting my ears and developing that skill. It sounds like an A note to me, ie. an A chord not an A7 chord. But both would be perfectly appropriate in that context. re the Bb chord, the one on the first beat of the line of music before the two golpes and the disputed A/A7 chord, it's an upstroke on beat 6 I think, so that's typical. I can't see how the half compas before that is notated but it sounds like beat 3 is a heavy down (I would do that with MA - I don't know what Trotter thinks Sabicas did), 4 is empty, 5 is a light downstroke with index, and 6 is upstroke. Maybe Paul can tell us if he knew Trotter, and/or if Trotter was working from lessons with Sabicas or Escudero, or from going to see Sabicas live and booking as seat in the front row, or ancient VHS tape... because otherwise his transcription, like any other transcription, is ultimately his interpretation of what he is hearing on the same audio we are listening to. More or less informed by his knowledge and experience, of course, but ultimately an interpretation.
