Similarly many editions include hammer-ons and pull-offs. Some editions prefer high frets, while other editions prefer a greater use of lower frets and open strings. An example of the latter is the 1st chord of measure 6, where the E on the 5th string 7th fret is sometimes played an octave lower on the open 6th string. The MIDI tempo is 62 bpm (half notes). === - note held g - grace note (ornament) - extra note played as hammer-on pull-off or slide either just before or at the same time as the main note, then released tr. - trill (ornament) - rapid alternation of a note with the scale note above c1 - part barre on the 1st fret C2 - barre on the 2nd fret C4 - barre on the 4th fret C5 - barre on the 5th fret C7 - barre on the 7th fret |--- ---| repeat the section |--- ---| |*-- --*| |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org
