(Wikipedia) Emilia Giuliani-Guglielmi's Op 3 was first published by Gio. Ricordi in 1836. The DGA edition gives very little information about the fingering, so feel free to experiment. The tab keeps mainly to the open strings and lower frets, but in some places it may be better to use barres or positions higher up the guitar. The tempo of the MIDI is 60 bpm (quarter notes). In the MIDI the melody is allowed to ring out - the notes aren't dampened and are often held for longer than shown in the sheet music. measure 12 - in the sheet the 1st note on the 4th beat is G# (not G) left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes in the time of 2 notes bpm - beats per minute g - grace note (ornament) - an extra note played before the main note, h - hammer-on p - (below the tab) soft p - (between the notes) pull-off sf - sforzando - suddenly louder, stressed |--- ---| 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
