Hammer-on : pick a note and then use a hammer like movement
to obtain an extra sound from a higher note without plucking the

string again As you see in the pic this should be played by plucking

E note on the 2nd string and then slamming your ring finger on the

note F# on the same string with no extra plucking of the string .

- The numbers ( 0 ,1 , 2 ,3 , 4) indicate to the Left hand fingerings-which fingers you have

to use for putting on the particular string except-The number (0) represents an empty string that means you just pick it without placing any of the left hand fingers on it.

- The letters ( p , i , m ,a) indicate to the right hand fingerings-that means anindication of what right hand fingers to use when picking a certain string.

-The RHF represent for:

P :Pulgar = Thumb

i : Indice = Fore Finger

m: Medio = Middle Finger

a: Anular = Ring Finger

- The numbers in circles indicate the string numbers from

the highest string to the lowest string

- the letter C indicates a full barre-that means put your first finger(left hand) across the

entire neck of the guitar at the indicated fret.

¢ or 1/2 C = semi-barre that means put your first finger across the first 3strings only in

the same manner as done in the full barre.

- sometimes the composer of the score might write a letter B instead of C

- V & VII & VI are Roman numerals ,they specify the fret where the first finger must be

placed e . g : VII : put the first finger on the 7 fret.

Pull-off :start off with putting The index finger at the A note and

ring finger on the G note then pluck the 1st string and while that

is ringing pull off and leave your index finger on the G

Slide: shift slide - it is played by plucking the E note then

sliding up fast to the G note and then plucking it again

respect the time value of the notes when doing this

Glissando: it should be played gracefully by Plucking the G note

and then move it(without time value ) very fast to the second

note and let it ring for the time value of B note.

- indicated for Glissando by a small note with a line on it as you

see in the pic.

Grace note ornament note, played quickly, usually before a
principal note.

There are two kinds:

Appoggiatura: it takes half the time value of the main note

Acciaccatura: This is the common (grace note) and it doesn't

take time value of the principal note. It has not time value and is played quickly.

Trill: in the technique classic guitar playing by using the technique

hammer-on & puul-off look to the second measure and

playing as all the note showing, pluck the first note then hammer-on

and pull-off for end .

- And also somtimes the composer indicates normal numbers after the letter with dot

between them C.8 some musical notations show it without a dot between them (C7)

so don't confuse between it and the chord.

The line limits the number of the notes in the range of the barre

- in the 4th part we see ( 4/6 ) , it means that you must place your first finger

across four of the six strings on the seventh fret.
