PLAYING TIPS

On the final semiquaver of bar 40 start preparing a first finger half barre and make4 sure it’s planted down at the start of bar 41. It must remain in place for beats 1 and 2, allowing the melody A note to sustain correctly. When we reach the chromatic scale on bar 43 switch to rest stroke i and m fingers and follow the fretting and fingering as you reach the second string. This scale should feel like a gradual accelerando up to the A for the next melody.
