tablature & instructions explained

The tablature stave comprises six lines, each representing a string on the guitar as illustrated.

-

Finger Vibrato

Tremolo Arm Vibrato

Glissando

J\ Gliss

A number on any of the lines indicates, therefore, the string and fret on which a note should be played.

Strike the note, then slide the finger up or down the fretboard as indicated.

Tremolo Strumming

This sign indicates fast up and down stroke strumming.

4th String 3rd String 7th Fret 7th Fret 5th String OPEN

3rd String 3rd String 5th Fret OPEN

1st String 2nd String 3rd String 4th String 5th String

OPEN 1st Fret 2nd Fret

2nd Fret OPEN

1

Chord of A minor

This sign indicates that the notes are to be played an octave higher than written. loco This instruction cancels the above.

A useful hint to help you read tablature is to cut out small squares of self-adhesive paper and stick them on the upper edge of the guitar neck adjacent to each of the frets, numbering them accordingly. Be careful to use paper that will not damage the finish on your guitar.

This note-head indicates the string is to be totally muted to produce a percussive effect. P.M. = Palm mute

Verse 2: Though you're far away I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay I just close my eyes And the sadness that missing you brings Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings.

one note samba (samba d e uma nota so) original w o r d s by n mendonca e n g l i s h l y r i c by jon h e n d r i c k s music by antonio carlos jobim

The most effective way of playing this song is to make the chordal rhythm percussive. Try experimenting with the feel making some notes long and some notes short. At [BI the guitar part can follow the vocal line or continue as a rhythm accompaniment.

The feel of this classic Bossa Nova should be established in the opening four bars. Use a mixture of strumming and fingerstyle and try to keep the tempo even throughout the piece. lpanema is the name given to a sand spit between the lagoon and sea next to Copacabana beach.
