I have kept to the Mosoczi Miklos arrangement (but haven't included hammer-ons and pull-offs). It is easier to play by making more use of open strings, but the phrasing may suffer. If you want inpiration for which ornaments to add, listen to the David Russel audio! The repeats are not present in the MIDI. The tempo of the MIDI is 50 bpm (quarter notes). left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes cI - part barre on the 1st fret cII - part barre on the 2nd fret cIII - part barre on the 3rd fret cIV - part barre on the 4th fret cV - part barre on the 5th fret cVI - part barre on the 6th fret cVII - part barre on the 7th fret |--- ---| repeat the section |--- ---| |*-- --*| |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
