Chicuelo arpeggio bulería (A Tres)

Anybody have tabs for (or want to give a try at part of) Chicuelo's beautiful arpeggio bulería "A Tres" from his album "Diapasión"? I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks.

I uploaded the song here:

http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=119181&appid=&p=1&mpage=1&key=&tmode=1&smode=1&s=#119183

It's quite nice

So I've looked at a few different parts of it, but I just got what I think is a decent handle on the beginning. Anybody with some free time care to see if they think it sounds right?

It's a basic idea of the arpeggios he's doing for the first few compases:

E--5---5---5--5/3--3--3--2--2------------
B---0---0---0----0--0--0--0--0-----------
G----5---5---5----5--5--5--5--5----------
D------7---7----5--5--5--4--4------------

Dude thanks for this even if it is just a tiny bit! I suck at transcribing but the world needs more Chicuelo transcriptions.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you've got :) For some reason I can't download the file, though, it says file not found - anyone else getting the issue?

Well, that would do it!

I was pretty sure it was no capo, but then again I have no way of really telling. How did you figure capo 2 out?

Hi Adam. I have been giving this a listen. I think its without a capo as well.
it goes to E minor later in the piece and you cant get that bottom open E with a capo.
I think that you have the chords correct but the right hand pattern is more like this to keep it in 3's

---------5-----------------5-----------
---------0-----------------0-----------
---------------5----------------5------
----7-----------------7----------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

.....p..a/m...i.........p...a/m...i

Chicuelo uses some unusual right hand fingering in this piece and its more classical in places than flamenco. Very beautiful though!
Ive made a rought tab of the chords and right hand. I'll try to post this weekend when I have time but I am away for a few days now.

Hey Marcos - Thanks for helping out! Yeah, I figured it was something more like that than what I posted, but I couldn't figure out a way to make the right hand seem more flamenco. None of the other fingerings I tried really felt as natural. Looking forward to hearing more! I doubt I'll have any time this week (school is really getting crazy now) but I'll try to look at a few more places. I have a basic idea of one of the arpeggio sections later on, and began tabbing out that picado falseta around 3:00 that Shroomy mentioned.... but nothing too significant or difficult yet

I have to admit that some of his fingerings are more close to classical than flamenco playing. I was looking at a section further on and tried it with normal a,m,i arpeggios but it didnt sound right. I tried some classical m,i,p string skip arpeggios and found that was what he was doing.
The technique is modern and doesnt follow the old rules. Chicuelo has a hybrid technique and uses whatever sounds good. Saying all that its still very strong and has alot of aire. It would be good to get more of his material tabbed.
