E-|---Song:-Prelude in D---------------------------| A-|---Author:-Francisco Tarrega--------------------| D-|---Transcription-by:Christian Liang-------------| G-|---E-Mail:[email protected]| B-|---http://www.classclef.com---------------------| E-|---Enjoy!---------------------------------------| Exercise: Triplets, (pima) pluck, harmonic A lesser known Francisco Tarrega piece but still great. This song covers the entire neck 14th fret of high e to open low D. This song introduces drop D tuning, natural and 4 finger (pima) chord pluck on the right hand. Use fingers to individualize strings on the chords. Technique You'll need change the tuning to drop D. Playing chords with fingers, not strum. Bar 2 has a natural harmonic on the 12 fret. A harmonic is a "bell like" tone that is by lightly touching a string over the 12th fret. Bar 7 and 8 (left hand)- finger position is vital in order to transition from chord to chord. Bar 9 and 10 (right hand)- Use your fingers to pluck the exact strings/notes of the Bass (thumb) is always, A if that helps. Tip Tune Down to Drop D. If you don't have a turner use your D string (4th string) Don't go too fast because the harder bits are in the middle and at the end of the song. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I have included the left (LH) and (RH) hand fingering. p = pulgar = thumb i = indice = index m = medio = middle a = anular = ring DROP D: Triplets [1] 1/3 X..................
