************************************************************************** El Mestre (The Teacher) is a traditional folk tune from the Catalan region in Northern Spain. When the melody is in a lower register (as in the bar24-25), and the thumb is required to play more than one note, "roll" the chord slightly an give the melody note a bit more stress. Remember to play the artificial harmonics with higher force, while being careful to play the accompanying notes at an equal volume. Notice the slides throughout the song. For a beautiful outcome, slide a note and play the next notes while keeping your finger (which you have slid) on place. In example in the first bar, play the sliding note with your ring or middle finger, as you will be able to play the following notes in the second bar using your other fingers. Then again in the fourth bar you should play the same melody using your little finger, as you will be able to play the following notes in the fifth bar using your other fingers.
