Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Savitri Tab

A great song with lots of momentum. I've tabbed continuously so just scroll down as
you play. There are a few places throughout which require a bit of a reach, but
you can use posistions with open strings instead.
Some riffs that reappear later in the piece have an additional guitar playing an
octave higher - if you need help with transposing them up an octave, or with anything
else in the tab then comment or just contact me. Enjoy.

N.B. if the reach from the 5th fret to the 10th is too far, then play the notes
on the A-string. I just prefer the control in tone playing this way.

Then back to riff 1 with ending 1b (which I pasted again here for clarity).
Note there's an addition to the 1b ending this time.
