I have included the tablature for "Petite Etude" by Rick Emmett of
Triumph. I do so because I have noticed in my forays for tablature
of both classical and rock classical pieces that this is the only one
that exists, and when playing it, it clearly had errors (perhaps typos?)
that just rendered the piece confusing, but in the authors defense he
claims he did it from memory since he had not heard the song in 10 years
I do not have the album either or remember the tune, but I dutifully
searched the web for an mp3 of the song and found it with some trouble.
The transcription below is corrected for the mistakes and also the
note augmentations that are in the song.
Considering the inherent problem in using tablature without benefit
of knowing what the piece sounds like, I have tried to give as careful
a description of timing as possible. It would be nice if others did
the same when transcribing. Notes at the bottom.

(a) slowing down and quieter, then return to more feeling in next measure.

(c) this chord is probably only an F minor without the bass than this full
Fm7 but it sounds better.
(d) leisurely arpeggiated (note that chords in this song are best quickly
arpeggiated to give more of the "flamenco feel")
(e) I think this was an intended note that was miss-played in the recording.
You can play it or not, bt if not watch the timing.
(f) These are quick pull-offs, read 3^1 and 1^0, just no space to put the
carat.
(g) harmonic on the 13th fret
/ = slide
^ = pull-off or hammer-on (depending on which way)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official TRIUMPH tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
