Scarborough Fair- Suspended Bass Note
"Scarborough fair" is an example of how the classical guitar can sound like
two instruments. With the suspended bass and running lead, the guitar produces
two voices (Bass and treble).   

Technique:
This piece is a slow piece. The challenge is to hold bass note which is struck
with the thumb- mostly A (open 5th string). Try and suspend the bass as long
as possible. Two notes are plucked with the thumb and middle (pm) finger most
of the time. 

Tip:
A good solo guitar piece always contain 2 or more voices. Having voice
diversity broadens the guitar's musical capability.
