"Lagrima" means "teardrop". A deft piece using the whole neck and 4 fingers on the right hand. Technique Since the song is slow, suspend to the notes as long as possible, no staccato or disjointed notes. Being a "Romantic" piece, Lagrima also lends itself to some degree of Rubato, especially in the second E minor section. Rubato literally means "robbed". It is a slight slowing, then quickening of the tempo and if done properly can make a piece seem so more musical. If you played Lagrima as just black and white notes in perfect timing it would lose all of its "soul" and become dull and lifeless. Tip The hardest part is bar 6,7 and bar 10. While bar 6,7 deals with rapid chord changes on the left hand, bar 10 deals with rapid 2 finger (im) plucking on the right hand. My tab provides the fingerings best for me. Feel free to explore chord alternatives and different fingering if it works better for you.
