PLAYING TIPS

cd track 20

[Bars 9-13] At bar 9 we only have two voices, bass and melody, so this is a little easier. At bar 13 however some fretting-hand gymnastics is needed! Follow the fretting-hand fingering indicated next to the note heads - a full barre is needed on the second half beat (B/F#); then the third finger on D# shifts up one fret to the E; next a hop up to B with the fourth finger... and so on. Follow the suggested fingering carefully as it’s there to help you.

[Bars 15- end] At bars 15 and 17 you’ll find specific picking and fretting hand fingering suggestions. For the remainder of the piece the technical requirements remain very much the same. This is a simple yet satisfying piece to both play and listen to, and I hope you enjoy mastering it!
