Similarly, I feel that interpretation, dynamics, tempi, and phrasing should be guided not only by the composer but also by the performer. I am often delighted when I hear a performance of my music that includes new expressive ideas. The indicated tempi are suggestions, not specific requirements." - Matthew Dunne The sheet doesn't make clear whether the half notes on the first beats are intended to last throughout the measure (they are not followed by rests!); nor whether the half notes on the 2nd beat should always be held to the end of the measure (which makes the fingering harder than might be expected). measure 9 - the left hand fingering follows the sheet with the 1st note (C) played on the 6th string, but it's not clear how the other notes should be played - perhaps the best way of playing the 4th and 5th notes is with a part barre using the 4th finger on the 8th fret? similarly with the 4th & 5th notes (D# G#) in measure 26 measure 18 - the sheet only gives the fingering for the last 2 notes measure 19 - in the sheet the notes on the 2nd beat (G-B) are both half notes; similarly for measures 20, 26, 27, 33 and 34 measure 29 - the sheet's fingering for the last 2 notes is 3 (A) and 4 (G#) left hand fingering (LHF) below the tab - 1 - index finger (forefinger) 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger (pinkie) === - note held, length of note \ - (below the tab) slide the finger down to the next note < < < - crescendo - becoming gradually louder, growing louder arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note dim - diminuendo - diminishing, becoming gradually softer f - forte - loud, strong F. - Fermata - pause, note(s) held c1 - part barre on the 1st fret C1 - barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C2 - barre on the 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 - weed@wussu.com
