Artist:  Acoustic Alchemy
      Album:  Early Alchemy
       Song:  Sira's song.

Steel String Guitar:  Nick Webb
Nylon String Guitar:  Simon James
        Double Bass:  Ron Mathewson
         Percussion:  John O'Keeny and
                      Mario Argondon~a.


Two Guitars, a Double Bass and Percussion is present in this song.  This
song is an attemp to make a Jazz/Flamenco song, inspired by Paco de Lucia
Masterpiece "Entre Dos Aguas".  The author is Nick Webb, but the passion was
brought thanks to Simon James, an ex guitarist of the band.  Acoustic
Alchemy at the begging were three guitarists, not a duo as nowadays.  This
song is a duo.



Part A:

First 10 seconds of the song starts with cymbal percussion and two guitars.
Second one starts with a cymbal sounding followed immediately by guitar one.
  In second two, guitar two joins guitar one, guitar two makes the lead
guitar and guitar one makes the accompaniment, as background the cymbal
playing remains, but starts to grow louder and louder until second 10.
Here's what I got from the song.

             Second 1:  Cymbal sounds and right after guitar one makes an
intro of one second.

Second 2 to Second 10:  Cymbal playing remains and guitar two appears making
the arpeggio of a chord until second 10, while guitar one stays playing
notes as an accompaniment.



  From 0:00 to 0:01.     From 0:02 to 0:10.

     I'm not sure about the chord above, but it's the closest I'd get, so if
anyone found something closer or exact, please tell me.  Also this is the
best I found hearing the song a lot of times, it could have errors.  I'm
open to any corrections, thanks.


the speed of the arpeggio must be played faster and faster until second 10,
also the intensity of the 9's goes louder and faster until second 10, then
in second 10 starts part B.

Part B:

Second 10 to Second 49:  I don't know exactly what they'd done, the
                         only thing I recognize was the strumming of
                   descending chords of one guitar and a bit of
             the strumming of the other guitar, I left
       some parts in blank.  Somehow hard to figure
since percussion doesn't allow it easily.                             The
strumming of this part is somehow                                 flamenco,
it has a percussive effect, which                           add to the
percussion, making somehow oneself                          lost.

Second 10 to Second 49:  Two guitars are presents, both strumming different
patterns, general to both guitars is a descending chord proggression, which
is Em, D, C, B.  Before the chord proggression (0:19 to 0:22) of the guitar
who is making the accompaniment, there is something I hadn't figure out
(0:10 to 0:19).  I hadn't done it since I don't have the time to hear it
carefully.  Anyone could end it just by playing with the guitar, it's simple
somehow, not so hard to not be found.  Please fill it, if you found
something, please tell me.



Guitar one (leading strumming) performs this from 0:10 to 0:19.  The same
from 0:22 to 0:35.

Guitar two (accompanying strumming and other stuff) performs this part from
0:10 to 0:19.  The same from 0:22 to 0:35.  This part is the one you should
figure out, not hard.  If you find it, tell me and I fill add it.  Here
below is the space provide it for it.

This structure repeats twice from 0:10 to 0:49, for luck, and when it ends,
starts part c (from 0:49 to 1:14.  It's only missing just
a few things in between the repetition of the strumming patterns.  You have
to found it out.  Here's another space provide for it.  The spaces to be
fill are from 0:36 to 0:37 and from 0:37 to 0:49, for both guitars.  For
luck, 0:37 to 0:49 it's merely the previous thing, just with a few changes,
but basically the same.

>From 0:36 to 0:37 starts to plays bass notes and then remains accompanying.
The other guitar is present, keeping playing, but at 0:38 joins in the
Double Bass.

And when the above strumming structure repeats, you could enter to part C.



Part C:

>From 0:49 to 1:14 appears the first solo.  Here is part of it. Very similar
all, just play with the guitar and you will find the whole solo.

   Legend:  h is hammer.
            p is pull-off.
            s is slide.
            b is bend.


  For the:  D is for a downstroke.
strumming.  U is for an upstroke.
           SP is for a small pause.
           CC is for change chord.

A small note, chord are always below the D or U, so don't get confussed if
you see D   this one is downward
                     D   this one is D chord.

Later I will use d as downstroke, and u as upstroke.
