I think thesystem I used is self-explanitary. The numbers 1 to 4 indicate thefingers (1=index,2=middle,3=ring,4=little(pinkie)). I have left outfingering where a section is repeated or on parts where fingering isblatantly obvious. If anyone needs an explanation, feel free to emailme.I transposed this to the key of A minor which seemed logical to me at thetime but I have recently been informed that Tarrega used D minor.Tough! I experimented with the B string tuned to Bb but, although someparts were easier, most was better with normal tuning. Anyone have anyother suggestions?I might just try a D minor version if I find the time and motivation.Watch this space!Please email comments, corrections, suggestions and the rest to David(kaum0@central.sussex.ac.uk).p = pull-off, h = hammer-on, s = slide===== = sustain. However, to save me hassle, sustain all the bass notesfor a whole bar where possible.The roman numerals above the tab indicate either full barres or halfbarres. The ...s indicate how long the barre lasts.Adagio Sostenuto.pp| | | | | | | |E-|------------------------|------------------------| B-|-----1-----1-----1-----1|-----1-----1-----1-----1| G-|---2-----2-----2-----2--|---2-----2-----2-----2--| D-|-2-----2-----2-----2----|-2-----2-----2-----2----| A-|-0----------------------|------------------------| E-|------------------------|-3----------------------|3 2 1 34~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I...
