Mi Tarantas tab

Ok guys here it is. Just had a quick look and its probably not the final-final version you hear but then these things are fluid anyway. I'm pretty sure all my falsetas are in there somewhere.

Obviously as its toque libre you can ignore the time signature and the note groupings will be an approximation.

Techniques should be fairly obvious but if there's anything slightly weird let me know.

Great! Thank you! Its allways hard to transcribe a libre partit. . Yes there is something really weired! How did you do the tremolo that it sounded so different?^^ You must be the master of the secret tremolo technic!

nice stuff! thanks for the addition, I do have an academci question is that style of arpeggio common to tarantos? I have seen it before in other songs so my guess is that it is thanks.

Which arpeggio do you mean?

BTW - this is TaranTAS not TaranTOS. Main difference being that Tarantos is not toque libre.

Cheers

Believe me, I would much rather play trad. technique than have to come up with alternatives. I do have a more regular flamenco 5 note trem which involves the thumb in the melody, but string crossing is very tricky. But for textures like this, I use my continuous trem which is played purely with I, rapid forward and backward stokes off the nail like this:

I*I*I*I*I*I*I*I
P***P***

That should line up - p is played every four strokes of I
Got the idea from classical virtuoso Remi Boucher.

My webcam is on order, I'll upload a video when I've sorted it out.

Thanks D.

2 2 3 5 7
0 0 0 0 0

I don't think so, at least I haven't come across it in trad Tarantas, its a bit kind of 'out there' for that. You get those sliding 6ths in blues, really (play them against an open A string and you'll hear what I mean).

However, the Tarantas at the beginning of Saura's wonderful film has a very pensive Tarantas that uses similar ideas, which is where I pinched them from
