Notes and Legend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sheet has no left hand fingering. Some of the notes on the low frets may be easier if played on the high frets and vice versa (eg in measures 12 to 15). measure 3 - the sextuplet is phrased as 2 triplets measure 12 - sextuple + octuple played in the time of a dotted half note - the tempo increases throughout the measure measures 37-63 - in this section the notes are mainly grouped according to the accents - sometimes the grouped notes overlap the measures measure 40 - the pentuplet is made up of thirty-second notes measure 93 - the sheet has 3 slashes through the tails of all the chords on the top 3 strings and 3 slashes below the chord on the bottom 3 strings - this indicates repeated 32nd notes (slashes with chords can also mean that the notes played alternate between the upper note(s) and the lowest note of the chord) - these are the notes in the sheet - 93 | . | . | . | . e|-19------18------19------18------| B|-19------19------18------19------| G|-17------17------17------17------| D|-0===============================| A|-0===============================| E|-0===============================| ===== - note held, length of note -=-=- - let the notes continue ringing, don't dampen the sound |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes in the time of 2 notes |-6-| - sextuplet - 6 notes (usually) played in the time of 4 notes |-5-| - pentuplet - 5 notes played in the time of 4 notes |-8-| - octuplet - 8 notes (usually) played in the time of 6 or 4 notes ->-->- - increasing in tempo from the start to the end of the phrase |---| - (above the tab) groups of notes (as given in the sheet) > - (above the tab) accented, marked, stressed / - slide the note up ' - breath mark - slight pause < < < - crescendo - growing louder, becoming gradually louder > > > - decrescendo - growing softer, becoming gradually softer accel. - accelerando - gradually getting faster ad lib - the tempo is decided by the player Allarg. - allargando - gradually becoming slower (and often louder) Calme - restful, calm, tranquil f - forte - loud ff - fortissimo - very loud F. - Fermata - pause, note(s) held g - grace note - ornament - an extra note played just before the main note and immediately released - the following note is usually played as a hammer-on, a pull-off (or sometimes a slide) h - hammer-on mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud molto - much, very (molto rall. - slowing down a lot) mp - mezzopiano - moderately loud mosso - motion (Un poco piu mosso - a little more animated, a bit quicker) p - (below the tab) piano - soft p - (between the notes) pull-off piu - more (piu mosso - more motion) poco - little (poco rall. / poco rit. - a little slower) pose - settled Presto - fast rit. - ritenuto - slowing down, suddenly slower rall. - rallentando - slowing down (often becoming gradually softer) tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo) <12> - open (natural) octave harmonic on the 12th fret 2<14> - octave harmonic, left hand 2nd fret, right hand points to 14th fret 7<19> - octave harmonic, left hand 7th fret, right hand points to 19th fret 8<20> - octave harmonic, left hand 8th fret, right hand points to 20th fret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
