The tempo of the MIDI is 54 bpm (quarter notes). Play all the harmonics except the harmonic in measure 19 with the right hand. measures 1-5 - Andrew York says these should be played as in the tab, but there no indication in the sheet - using the lower frets is easier - 1 | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . e|-------------|---------0---|-2-2-2-----2-|-0-2-3-------|-0-----------| B|-------------|-3-3-3-------|-------------|---------2---|-----3-------| G|---------2---|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------2---| D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------5---| A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held l.v. - laissez vibrer (let vibrate) - let it ring, don't dampen the sound c1 - part barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C2 - barre on the 2nd fret F. - Fermata - pause, the notes are held for longer than their value <12> - natural (open) octave harmonic on the 12th fret <19> - natural (open) harmonic on the 19th fret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
