The edition revised by Carlo Carfagna (Berben, Ancora, 1989) has a repeat sign at the end of measure 12. measure 2 - Paolo Amico and Rachel Schiff both play the 16th note (A) on the 10th fret of the 2nd string (which is probably smoother) but the sheet shows a hammer-on from the A to the C measure 4 - the 1st 2 notes on the 2nd beat (E 3rd string, E 1st string) are both eighth notes in the Berben edition (so the 2nd E is played with the E on the 6th string) left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration h - hammer-on p - (between the notes) pull-off p - (below the tab) piano - soft sf - sforzando - forced, strongly accented, suddenly louder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ more classical tabs at http://www.classtab.org
