In the Katie Lonson video measures 22-24 are not played. Rubato: the performer has a limited freedom of rhythm and tempo - the time extension applied to one note is taken from an adjoining note or notes. [The accompanying MIDI is a guide to the notes, but not to the interpretation.] measure 12 - in the sheet the A on the 1st beat (open 5th string) is a half note measure 57,65 - in the sheet the bottom note on the 1st beat is C (below the E) measure 61 - in the sheet the last note is B (not A) measure 63 - in the sheet the D on the 1st beat (open 4th string) is a half note measure 71 - in the sheet the last note is A (eg 3rd string 7th fret) not D measure 79 - in the sheet the B on the 1st beat (1st string) is a half note left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - length of note, note held, duration < < < - crescendo - getting louder > > > - decrescendo - getting softer + - (end of measure 17, start of measure 81) Coda symbol , - (end of measures 56,64) slight pause (breath mark) - - (above the tab) tenuto - played firmly, slightly accented |-6-| - sextuplet - 6 notes played in the time of 8 notes |-7-| - septuplet - 7 notes played in the time of 8 notes |-9-| - nonuplet - 9 notes played in the time of 8 notes accel. - accelerando - getting gradually faster, with increasing speed arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note F. - Fermata - pause (at the end, before starting the next study) f - forte - loud mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft p - (between the notes) pull-off poco - little (poco a poco - little by little) rall. - rallentando - slowing down (and sometimes becoming quieter) rit. - ritenuto - suddenly slowing down c7 - part barre on the 7th fret c8 - part barre on the 8th fret a tempo - resume the earlier tempo (after rall. poco a poco) comodo - at an easy pace, without haste, comfortable, moderate D.C. al Coda - Da Capo al Coda - return to the start, play till the 1st Coda sign (end of measure 17), jump to the 2nd Coda sign (measure 81) poco pesante - a little heavy (firm, vigorous, weighty, sluggish, ponderous) rall. poco a poco - gradually slowing down sempre - continuing, still, also (flexible, sempre - continue to keep flexible) sonido / mucho sonido - ?? (sonido = tone, note) - let resonate? vibrato - finger vibrato / horizontal vibrato - small regular pulsating variations in pitch made by stretching the string, alternatively pushing and pulling the string to produce a richer 'wavering' sound pesante y con mucho sonido - firmly with much resonance ******************************************************************************* the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org
