Dolphin Dance by Herbie Hancock - AC-Guitar Solo

Acoustic guitar solo playing "Dolphin Dance" by Herbie Hancock, very memorable yet sophisticated master piece and quite challenging for solo guitar arrangement in original key using non-cut away flamenco guitar.
Below is my own transcription for this song, though certain parts in this clip are slightly different from those changes for natural playability on guitar. Slash without space is slash chord and space before and after slash means that the bar is divided by two chords with two beats each.
