TAB4YOU - Chicuelo Granaina Tremolo
Ok, this is one of my all time favourite tremolos and it was a MUST for me to learn it.
It is from Chicuelo (from the concert with Miguel Poveda and Duquende) from the Granaina/Taranta - Cana Amigo.
Here you can see the Video where Chicuelo plays this tremolo ( starting 00:14 - to 01:25 )
I have to admit that this is the first time that i tabed something (with Guitar pro 5). Guitar pro was only an instrument for reading for me and not for writing, so i apologize if something should be wrong. In fact i have no idea about music theory, notes, etc. Everything i learned up to now is from reading tabs and from videos.
But i think the result is not bad. I thing the transcription is 100% correct. (but i might be wrong). However, check it out and tell me if it works.
I think you have to hear this tremolo over and over again because there is some kind of feeling or some Nuances that i can not put in tabs. So the best would be to take the tab together with the Video (also because of the fingering of the left hand) to learn it.
I will add also the fingerings when i have more time and upload an update.
For those who dont have Guitar pro, i captured (converted) the tabs to pictures, so that you can use it (5 pages).
I will put the pictures in this thread in few minutes.

cool .
Yes it is. I like that little bit of oriental touch in this tremolo. I will start and try to transcribe some of my other favourite falsetas, etc. Now that my thumb nail is broken, i have more time :)
