The French word "étude" translates to "study", and in music terms it denotes a piece of
music written for a musician to focus on and practice an instrumental technical problem.
The problem of this etude is irregular string-skipping picking for the right hand and
fingering transitory chord position for the left hand, all set in a very fast tempo.
Below the tablature is indicated down or up-strokes (^ v), and fingerings (T 1 3 2 4).
