Subject: TAB: A bit of fun
This is a piece I composed for the classical guitar some time ago.
I'm not sure where to put it as I don't have access to a newsgroup
but I'll ftp it to Nevada and maybe they could create an amateur
subdirectory where it can be accessed. I would welcome any comments
though obviously it is'nt very technical as I'm not that good.
It should be played quite quickly and the picking is quite easy once the
fingering is figured out. I edited it on windows notepad so perhaps it
would be best viewed from that.
