Las Abejas (The Bees)
Author: Agustin Barrios Mangore
Important stuff about this piece:
-All notes are half-quarter notes. The few exceptions are
noted by the tempo marks (|) above the tablature. This
exceptions are: The introduction, the end of Part 1,
the end of part 2, and the end of part 3.
-My sheet music didnt have fingerings, so I'll put what I
believe is the best fingering (Look for the fingering under
the tab). Feel free to do it however you like.
-I don't like to repeat part 2, however, the original sheet
music indicates that part has to be repeated. So, repeat it
if you like. Also, i don't like to play the intro again after
part 2, so again, play it if you like.
-There is a BIG stretch at the end of part 2. It's not an error
in the tab. Don't worry, it comes out easy with practice.
-Tablature explanation is at the end of the file.
-Remember that the left hand fingering is:
1 Index Finger
2 Middle Finger
3 Ring Finger
4 Pinky
