I recently discovered Milonga by Jorge Cardoso and fell in love! I plan 
to try out more of his songs soon. As usual I have tabbed out for both 
hands. However, fingering are suggestive. What i have here is a system 
that best works for me. Go ahead and make your own fingering or note
changes where you see fit.

Milonga is not very hard to play if you approach it in Parts. 
There are 4 unique parts in Milonga. I suggest to focus on each part 
individually and piece it back together later. 

Part A: Bar[1]-[14]
Arpeggios. Left Hand is complex while the right (thankfully) remains the 
same pattern.  Pay attention to fingering of the left hand to keep chord 
transition smooth. Play Slow.
Bar[8] To play this arpeggio clean. Keep your thumb at the bottom part of
the neck and bend yours wrist outwars nearly at a right angle. ouch!
Bar[10]-[11] Transition of chords. keep pinky on strings(same note) as you 
move your other 3 fingers

Part B: 
Bar[15]-[22]
Arpeggios with prominent thumb (bass) action. 
Bar[45]-[55]
A longer variation of this arpeggio at the closure. 

Part C: 
Bar[25], [27]
Up and down neck movement with some quick pull offs and slides for the left. 
Bar[29], [39]
Double stops or intervals (2 notes) to keep your right hand busy.

Part D: Bar[40]-[45]
Thumb(Down) and Index/Middle(up) pattern
