The order of play is measures 0-82, 9-47, 83-89 The tempo of the MIDI is 96 bpm (beats per minute - quarter notes). Because much of the rhythm is 3+3+2 (rather than 2+2+2=2) it is better to listen to the reference videos - the John Holmquist recording is recommeneded. left hand fingering (LHF) below the tab - 1 - index finger (forefinger) 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger (annular) 4 - little finger (pinky) === - length of note, duration, note held < < < - crescendo - becoming louder > > > - decresccendo - becoming softer $ - segno - sign + - Coda symbol (jump to the Coda on repeat) al Coda - continue until the Coda symbol (+) then jump to the Coda arp. - arpeggiate (ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note) Coda - the end section of a piece D.S. - Dal Segno - return to the sign ($) F. - Fermata - pause - note held for longer than its value h - hammer-on L.V. - Laissez Vibrer - let vibrate - let it ring, don't dampen the sound molto - much, very (rit. molto - suddenly becoming much slower) morendo - dying away (gradually becoming softer and softer) poco - little (poco a poco - little by little, gradually) pp - pianissimo - very soft rall. - rallentando - slowing down rit. - ritenuto - suddenly slowing down sempre - always, throughout the piece tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo) C1 - barre (or part barre) on 1st fret C2 - barre (or part barre) on 2nd fret [etc] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - thanks!
