This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Gaspar Sanz's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Short ID: GS28.
Title: Maricapalos
Composer: Gaspar Sanz
Source: Instruccion; Tomo 2, page 8.
Date: 1697.
Facsimile: Minkoff, 1976.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (ADGBE).
Time sig: 3.
Fixes, modifications, comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
The eight bars starting with m73 were the most difficult to decipher. The
figures are heavy and crowded. Let me know if something sounds wrong, or
you know it to be wrong.
When Sanz indicates vibrato on a chord, he shows only one vibrato symbol "#"
below the chord. I assume the vibrato applies to all fingered notes and
provide a separate "#" for each fingered note of the chord here.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
None.
Octave doublings: If you play this on a modern guitar, consider adding or
substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 19 30 48 66 85 102 119. Last measure is 126.
