Before I show you the guitar tabs, I want to show you the scale that gives this piece

its Spanish flavor. It is called the Phrygian scale or Phrygian mode. Here's the diagram for the E Phrygian guitar scale:

What gives the Phrygian scale its flamenco flavor is the half step between E and F (between the first and the second note), like you can see in this scale diagram (sorry about the illustration, I felt a sudden need to be creative):

The chords that are played are basic guitar chords, except for the last 2. Here's the chord chart:

F/E: this is an F chord with an E in the bass G/E: this is a G chord with an E in the bass

And here are the guitar tabs for this flamenco guitar piece. The single note lines I play with my thumb, the chords I play with my index finger.
