Ballet Allegretto Chords & Tabs
Ballet & Allegretto - Manual Ponce (1882-1948)
Tabbed by: The_S
The_S: I heard Segovia play this piece during a documentary called
"The Song of the Guitar". This was when I first was interested
in playing classical guitar, and I was more fascinated by the
fast-paced songs and took little notice of pieces like this.
Now I am a little more mature, and have found an elegance in this
piece which I adore. Just the first few notes of the song catches
my attention.
Unfortunately, to allow for some bass notes to be sustained, there
are some quick chord changes that will require a bit of practice to
move to.
The Midi sounds good enough, so you don't really need a recording
to understand the timing and how the piece should sound. My advice
is to try to keep the bass notes going for as long as you can
Tuning: EADGBE (standard)
Timing: 4/4
