Does anyone have tab or musical notation for PDL's detuned Bulerias from Solo Quiero Caminar? He lowers the tone on 1st and 2nd strings for it. It's not La Tumbona, but the other shorter one later in the album - can't remember the name. Usually play my own stuff but was inspired when I spotted Grisha playing it on YouTube.

RE: Paco de Lucia - detuned Bulerias... (in reply to d.eduardo)
I have it, it's the one Grisha plays. It's some hard stuff, and then you have to tune it in this weird fashion. If one can pull off the rhythm it sounds awesome.

Dodey, nice to hear from you again - yeah think you're right it's called Pinonate. Even that page would be useful if you can email a scanned copy or whatever. Vamos a tomar un cafe viernes!
Bogdan, wonderful! - can you send me it? Tuning is 1st string --> D, 2nd string --> A as far as I can discern. That makes the guitar tuning, ironically, not far off some folky-style tuning, i.e. from 6th: E-A-D-G-A-D, which gives PDL the double note effect on open strings.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate the transcription if you can get it over to me: duncan.smith@bcs.org
I have quite a few transcriptions albeit ready to scan so I can help anyone else out if they need anything.
I'll post a video to YouTube when I've learned it.!! and you can have a snigger!!
