##I started out this version from the other versions already on ultimate-guitar so much 
of the work was already done. Thanks to all ^_^
##I based myself more on what Mr Rodriguez was doing in live appearances that I found 
online than on the record itself. Sometimes there are small differences, and the timing is 
a bit less quirky. I think this version works best for someone playing on a single guitar
##He seems to slightly change things each time he plays, even the same sequence during a 
performance, so, no claims on being 100% right.
