The MIDI tempo is 50 bpm (beats per minute - half notes). Apart from measure 20 all the slurs in the sheet have been shown as hammer-ons or pull-offs but instead they can be interpreted as showing the phrasing. Merce Font font plays most of them as hammer-ons and pull-offs, but for most players this would be very difficult, so feel free to play them as individual notes. In measure 20 the upper pairs of notes on the 3rd string are shown as slurs (A-G#) which the left hand fingering indicates could/should be played as a slide down! measure 12 - both the reference videos play the 2nd & 3rd beats of this measure on the lower frets (which is easier) - | . | . | . |---------2---0-----------| |---------2=======3---2---| |-6-----------------------| |-------------------------| |-4-------1=======--------| |-------------------------| 3 4 2 4 2 1 1 measure 22 - use a part barre with the little finger to play the F# (4th string) measure 22 - both videos play the trill on the higher frets across the 3rd and 4th strings (which isn't easier) - tr. 22 | . | . | . | . | . |-----------------|-------------------------|| |-----------------|-------------------------|| |-2---------------|-------------------------|| |--6----------4---|-4-----------------------|| |-4===============|-------------------------|| |-----------------|-2-----------------------|| 12 2 2 2 1 left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - notes held, length of note, duration / - (below the tab) slide the finger up to the next note (not glissando) \ - (below the tab) slide the finger down to the next note (not glissando) C1 - barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C4 - barre on the 4th fret h - hammer-on p - (between the notes) pull-off tr. - trill - rapid alteration of a note with the scale note above it (usually starting on the note above the main note) v - stacattissimo - separated, emphasised, distinct ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
