Chiaccona in partite variate by Alessandro Piccinini (1566–c.1638)

This is a piece originally written for a chitarrone, a sort of a lute with
a long neck carrying long bass courses. Therefore I had to transpose the 
bass melody in some parts an octave higher than it was in the original 
piece. Also, it is transposed three half steps down to D major. You need 
to tune your guitar D A D F# B E for this song. I tried some different 
tunings and found this to be the best. The G-string is tuned down to keep
the original fingerings in the high melody and the E-string has been tuned 
to D to be able to play the bass melody. The only problem with this is
the low G which you'll have to finger with your pinky most of the time.

I have marked some trills in the tab with a # following the note to be 
trilled. I like to just trill "0^2^0" or "0^2^0^2^0" depending on the length 
of the note. I've also marked the most important of the sustained notes 
with "=", the beat with "|" and ".", where necessary. And be careful not to 
make a porridge out of the bass melody, I mean, remember to stop the basses.

Enjoy.
