I tabbed this out a few weeks after reading Mike Neer's post about transcribing and thought I would share it. I don't have anyway to scan the page and I can't really write music properly, but it if you have the recording you can figure out the timing and phrasing. Maybe it will help someone. The tuning is DECAGECA high to low.

Awesome, Mike. That is one of the best solos by Joaquin, in my opinion.
Did it help you? That's what matters. Keep it up, do some more.

A sweet solo, Mike. Well worth the attention. Here's my two cents worth. Any other opinions out there?
A couple of notes.
I think that in bar three my guess is that after the 8, 7, 8 movement he keeps the bar heading towards the bridge even though the pitch undulates. It seems to be too quick and clean to have the bar change direction again in that phrase.
In bar 15 I am guessing that it is the top string because it seems so loud and clear. He really leans into the notes but maybe that doesn't tally with the last quick gliss up to the 13th fret?

Guy,
Wow!!, you did a beautiful job on the tab. Makes me wish I had those skills. Now that I see it done properly, I see some timing errors on my attempt.
It's been a while since I did my version, but I do remember being unsure about the 3rd bar. I can see on my paper where I wrote and erased several ways I thought he was playing it. I only hear 6 notes in that phrase, I don't hear the Bb note, it works great, but I think the the F note you indicated before the C note at the end of the phrase is right on.
