There are no borrowed folk melodies or rhythmic patterns. It is one of those pieces that seem to have already been written, and I fortunately happened to stumble upon." - Carlos Rafael Rivera The Michael Chapdelaine video repeats the first 7 measures. The Laura Mazon Franqui video doesn't play the first 2 measures. The sheet left hand fingering has some minor errors - I have done my best! left hand fingering below tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - notes held, length of notes , - (above the tab) breath mark - slight pause / - (in the tab) slide note up F. - Fermnata - pause g - grace note - acciaccatura - played as a pull-off immediately before or at the same time as the following note, and immediately released golpe - gently strike with the right hand 1st finger (aprox) an octave above the left hand fingers (between the 12th and 14th frets) to create artificial harmonics h - hammer-on mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft p - (below tab) - piano - soft p - (between notes) pull-off pp - pianisimo - very soft <4> - natural harmonic on the 4th fret <5> - natural harmonic on the 5th fret <7> - natural harmonic on the 7th fret <12> - natural harmonic on the 12th fret 2<14> - artificial harmonic, left hand 2nd fret, right hand point to 14th fret 3<15> - artificial harmonic, left hand 3rd fret, right hand point to 15th fret cII - part barre on the 2nd fret with the 1st finger CII - barre on the 2nd fret with the 1st finger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ more classical tabs at http://www.classtab.org
