Guitar Tab

Cavatina  by Stanley Myers from the movie Deerhunter
arranged fro solo guitar by John Williams

Arranged and tabulated by sber69 (sber69@hotmail.com)
		(01/01)



This tab is derived from the previous very good work of
David Atkinson (email: kaum0@central.susx.ac.uk) from
which I have retained almost 60 percent.

The goal of this new version : I tried to retain the
continuity of the arpeggios that support this beautiful melody.
This is done at the expense of a little more difficulty for a piece
that is already very difficult to play correctly. It asks a lot of
strength and mobility in the left hand but the result is a richer
arrangement that can compete with the original duet.

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Particularly at the following bars :


In bar 19 : the #2 finger must press on the B(11) and G(11)
and whithout disturbing the #3 that is on the E(11).

bar 39 and 41 : The #2 Finger at the bass (E) must leave its position
and go to the (B) string smoothly while making the melody stand out
in the bass strings.
