Río Ancho - for serious? (Al D or no!)
Hey all - I've picked up some tabs somewhere of Rio Ancho but it doesn't sound quite right and the chords definitely seem funky. Does anyone have tabs for this song that they can vet are pretty close to Paco's playing? Also, if anyone has specific tabs for the Mediterranean Sundance duet he does with Al D, that'd be pretty cool too! :) Thanks!

Marcos, reading sheet music takes me forever. Is it electronic so I can easily convert it to tab? Otherwise it's just not worth the immense amount of time

No, its not electronic I think I have Marks black dot version as well. For what its worth I cant work out the solos from that either. I have to turn it into tab. Maybe I'll transcribe it one wet afternoon.

what's up with all these transcriptions being in sheet music? I got Mark's version and it's not all that helpful to me either but hopefully someone's got accurate tabs somewhere...

this is my first post for a while, i couldn't log in, the lost password thing didn't work.... and then after a week or so i tried it again.... and it did work.... weird!
maybe admin sorted it out - if so, thanks!
anyway, there was a rio ancho tab on the sonofman website, but it's not available, probably got taken down or something.... someone must have it! unfortunately i don't think i saved a copy, but i'll have another look....
