PLAYING TIPS

-

Glissandi appear throughout. Keep them light and neat without letting them interrupt the flow of the melody. Also, there are grace note slurs (hammer ons and p2ull offs) decorating the melody here and there and these are sometimes diffic2ult to articuDlam­te. If you’re strugDgmli­n/Ag, try practisAin­g them super slowly and examine the trajectory of your slurring finger – it needs to stay curved while off the string as well as on it, and you should work on the hammer on and the pull off as two separate techniques, making sure both work successful­ly. Then gradually speed up the movement till you get the desired effect.
