E|-------4-1-0-------------------------------0--------------------|| Notes and Legend ---------------- Listen to the videos by Paolo Amico and Rachel Schiff to hear subtleties of the phrasing (which the MIDI doesn't convey very well). The sheet has a repeat sign, but neither of them repeat the variation in their videos. The fingering is taken from the sheet. The start tempo of the MIDI is 20 bpm (dotted quarter notes). measure 2 - in the sheet the middle 13 notes are played in the time of 8 notes, but the phrasing isn't clear measure 3 - the sheet doesn't show what strings are used for the rundowns measure 4 - in the sheet the E on the 1st beat is a quarter note measure 5 - 4th note G# (as in the Berben edition) (not G) measure 9 - 16 notes played in the time of 9 - phrasing is up to the performer measure 15 - 3rd from last note is D (as in measure 9) (not D# as in the sheet) measure 16 - in the Berben edition the 1st note is a 1/16th note (not a 32nd) - 16 |----6----| . , . , | , . , . , E|---------------4-----------------0--------------------------------|| B|---------------3---------------2---3-----0=======-----------------|| G|---------------4---4-4-6g4g3g4---------1-1=======2=======--------*|| D|-2===0---------2---------------------4---0=======----------------*|| A|-------2---------------------------------0-------0=======---------|| E|---------4-1-0-------------------------------0--------------------|| left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration =-=- - in the sheet the note is shown as held (let it ring before continuing) |-4-| - measure 2 - 4 notes played in the time of 2 notes |-5-| - measure 2 - 5 notes played in the time of 2 notes measure 16 - 5 notes played in the time of 4 notes |-6-| - 6 notes played in the time of 4 notes F. - Fermata - pause, notes held or extended rest g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played at the same time as, or just before the main note, then immediately released - the following note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off, or slide h - hammer-on p - (below the tab) piano - soft s - strisciando - gliding, glissando, slurring smoothly from note to note sf - sforzando - forced, strongly accented, suddenly louder <12> - natural (octave) harmonic on the 12th fret) |--- ---| repeat the section |--- ---| |*-- --*| |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ more classical tabs at http://www.classtab.org
