Update about tabs and lesson

Its not that easy to make tabs or lessons, I found it funny that everyday i get the same request across my messages: "Tabs pl0x" . It also interesting that almost every question i ask its answered on the description (And guess i am contradicting myself for posting this on the description again :p ), but it anyways.. it won't give teach you how to play it in couple of hours, you have to research, listen multiple times, watch the fretting, timing, listen to related videos..

I've really appreciated everyone has enjoyed and interested in this piece that i never thought it would end in that way lol. Its really harder than it looks to make tabs from something one plays that comes from one own head. But i like the intrigue and with some more interest, views.. i will make an effort to tab, maybe make a video teaching, but i need some kind of incentive pretty much other more than the great comments i receive since its alot of work.

Hope it helps and answers the 100+ i've never gotten chance to answer

This a song i made using arab, harmonic and phrygian dominant scales. also combining different techniques i know. its not really complex, i improvise in some parts. This a really fun song for me to play

Hope you like it.

Guitar is tuned: DADGBD a half tep down


Edit:
New info..
Well i have gotten many request for a tab and explanation of what did the song include. Im terrible for making tabs and dont have the time for it. As for how to get playing this style:

The style is focused on always using a constant note as the background ringing, also known as the drone note. In this case its D, it can be any. With the the note always ringing you play using the phrygian mode and the harmonic minor scale, which i think its called phrygian dominant scale, on a Normal tuned guitar it will look like this.

This is on E (it cant be moved anywhere on the fretboard)

e- 0 -1 4-5 ...
b- 0-1-3
g--1-2
d- -0-2-3
a- 0-2-3
E- 0-1-4

Lastly i dont know anything o arabic stuff or indian in music. The idea and influence of this piece i got it from a song called home by dreamtheater, check it out if you want to get a feeling with the style

Hey, where can I find a tab for this song, I really want to learn it, anyone please, is to impress a girl!

To me, this is the tradition that made it's way to Spanish culture the most during and after the occupation by the Moors from 712-1492. The music. Arabic guitar and Spanish/Flamenco guitar are so close in nature, because Spanish guitar is really just a style broken from the Arabic style and scales and modes. Both are beautiful.
