El Negrito (from Two Venezuelan Waltzes) - Antonio Lauro (b.1917) tabbed by Weed - August 1998 this is surely one of the loveliest guitar pieces ever written, and it's easy to play! tablature explanation at the end ***************************************************************** NOTES bar 0 - the first 3 notes could be played on frets 5 6 & 7 of the 2nd string in order to add some vibrato to the opening note which could then be lingered on slightly bar 3 - using the 2nd finger on the 6th string, and barring the 2nd fret of the 5th & 4th strings for the next 2 notes, and using the 4th finger for the 4th note of the bar, then this allows the first note of the bar (the G on the 6th string) to be held bar 47 - the second note (E) could be played on the 5th fret of the 2nd string instead of the open top string - this would allow the first note of the bar (A) to overlap the E rather than have the open E overlap the rest of the bar
