(The initial MIDI tempo is 116 bpm, and it is ~30sec slower than the reference vids.) The slides to the grace notes land on the note to be played next. Where 2 or more notes are played together, the RHF refers to the upper note. The order of play is 1-34, 1-34, 35-45. measure 18 - in the sheet the upper note of the 1st interval (B 1st string 7th fret) is held though out the measure and for a beat and a half of the following measure, but the fingering for the other notes in the measure (and also in the reference vids) is like the tab measure 33 - in the sheet the upper note of the 1st interval (A 4th string 7th fret) is held thoughout the measure (not the 2nd A) left hand fingering (LHF) below tab right hand fingering (RHF) above tab 1 - index finger (forefinger) p - thumb 2 - middle finger i - index finger (forefinger) 3 - ring finger m - middle finger 4 - little finger (pinky) a - ring finger === - notes held, length of note, duration / - (between notes) slide the note up - (below the tab) slide the finger up \ - (below tab) slide the note down - (below the tab) slide the finger down < < < - crescendo - becoming gradually louder > > > - decrescendo - becoming gradually softer |-5-| - pentuplet - 5 notes played in the time of 4 notes <12> - natural (open) octave harmonic on the 12th fret arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note bpm - beats per minute (quarter notes) cresc. - crescendo - becoming gradually louder f - forte - loud, strong F. - Fermata - notes held for longer than their value g - grace note (ornament) - an extra note played before the main note - the next note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off or slide mf - mezzo-forte - moderately loud p - (below the tab) piano - quiet, softly p - (between the notes) pull-off pizz. - pizzicato - muted (usually played by plucking the string with the right thumb and using the palm of the hand to mute the sting) rall. - rallentando - slowing down, broadening out, sometimes softening rit. - ritenuto - slowing down, becoming suddenly slower t - tenuto - played firmly, note(s) held for at least the full length tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo after rit.) c1 - part barre on the 1st fret C1 - barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C2 - barre on the 2nd fret [etc] |---- ----| repeat the section |---- ----| |*--- ---*| |*--- ---*| |---- ----| |---- ----| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
