[Submitters Note: You can find this masterpiece of a
track off John Williams' Album "From the Jungles of
Paraguay"]
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
🎸

****************************************************************
" On the Las Abejas(The Bees) the 2nd Part, seventh
note
on that first measure it should be a G, third fret 1st
string not
a G#. And on the second to last measure in the whole
piece, the
chord that follows the open D should have the notes A
- 5th fret
1st string, G - 8th fret second string, C# - 6th fret
3rd string,
and last the open A - 5th string. The only thing you
had wrong was
the F#- 7th fret 2nd string instead of the 8th fret
2nd string- G "
