CZARDAS - Vittorio Monti
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : mstoakes
e-mail: mstokes0@googlemail.com
Tuning: G D A E
This version is from the original score for violin and piano, transposed onto bass. Many
videos show the performer's own versions, so you can interpret this as you see fit. For
youtube video of me playing this version use this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdX8w0T2E84
The main aspects for playing this piece are speed, consistency and control. For the slow
try to be as expressive as possible, and for the techniques recommended look up the
on the video.
The artificial harmonics section is tabbed left hand fret, then right hand harmonic in brackets.
I.e. 19(31) - press the 19th fret, then touch the string with a right hand finger, or
as I do, over the theoretical 31st fret (halfway between the 19th fret and the bridge in
case).
Quite a difficult piece, in my opinion but a challenge is always good, so enjoy.
Slow, rubato
