Ballet & Allegretto (Balletto) - Manual Ponce (1882-1948) Tabbed by: The_S The_S: I heard Segovia play this piece during a documentary called "The Song of the Guitar". This was when I first was interested in playing classical guitar, and I was more fascinated by the fast-paced songs and took little notice of pieces like this. Now I am a little more mature, and have found an elegance in this piece which I adore. Just the first few notes of the song catches my attention. Unfortunately, to allow for some bass notes to be sustained, there are some quick chord changes that will require a bit of practice to move to. The Midi sounds good enough, so you don't really need a recording to understand the timing and how the piece should sound. My advice is to try to keep the bass notes going for as long as you can video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DrN5vJug6M - Kim Ju Tuning: EADGBE (standard) - Timing: 4/4 Ballet 1 | | | | | | | |
