Tips
----
'Tarantella' gots it's name from "tarantula" and is a typical
dance of south of Italy. The locals believe that by dancing
to this trance tune, a person who has been biten by a tarantula
will be cured. Play this piece fast with suspended bass. There
are 3 parts of the song each consisting of 8 measures. Play
tarantella in this order ABAC. This song is fairlr easy once
you play it a couple of times. Since there's only one barre
chord and most suspended bass are played with open strings,
it is also a good introductory song to the world of mauro giuliani.
