Gavotte 1 is in general is harder than part 2. It is also longer of the two. Gavotte is a French dance during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is part of the optional dances of the Baroque Suite. Technique The song is filled with pull offs except at Bar [13]. Make sure you hold Barre Chord at the first fret. For Bar [16] last note "A", the LH finger is 3. This is the best for transition for me, you can substitute with 2 if you want. AA-BC-BC. Play Part A twice followed by (B then C) twice. Part C is a variation of Part A at the end with the closure. Tips As long as you keep to the chords on the left hand. Plucking the wrong string or an extra string shouldn't sound that bad. Always hold bass as long as possible. (===) in the tab.
