Size 12 Prelude from the Suite in A minor: Sylvius Leopold Weiss Transcribed for guitar by Jose de Azpiazu Tab & Left hand fingering by James Jay Left hand finger #s in brackets are suggested alternates. [2] Feel free to employ your own fingerings any time. h = hammer-on p = pull-off ===== means let the note ring 's' means slide the finger to next fret to produce a slurred note. See bar 7 etc.. Time Signature; 9/8 All the hammer-on / pull-off slurs are played as triplets, the preceeding note being dotted. Thus for example we count... 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & trip-el-lit. The first measure is a pick-up on the 7 count. Thus... 7 & 8 & trip-el-lit Bars are numbered for you. Bars 20 to 36 are designed to be played in the tremolo style, the high notes being plucked.. a, m, i. Do not 'cheat' with the use of a, a, a! It is easy to play that way but then you won't develope your tremolo stroke. ================Suite in a minor: Sylvius Leopold Weiss============ **Prelude; alla fantasia.. 1 slur 2 3 slur etc. E||----------|-----------------0-|---------------------| B||-1--0-----|-----------0-1-3---|-3-1-0---0-1-3-1p0---| G||-----h2p1-|-2-----1-2---------|-------2----------h2-| D||----------|---2-4-------------|---------------------| A||----------|-0=============----|---------------------| E||----------|-------------------|---------------------| 1 2 1 3 2 4 1 2 1 3 3 1 2 1 3 1 2 [2 1] 4 5 6 |---------------0-1-|-0-----------0-------|-------------0-1-3-| |-0-------0-1-3-----|---3-1-0-1-3---3p2p0-|-2-----0-2-3-------| |-2---0-2-----------|---------------------|-0-0-2-------------| |-3-3---------------|---------------------|-2-----------------| |-0=================|---------------------|-0=============----| |-------------------|---------------------|-------------------| 2 3 2 1 4 1 4 1 1 4 2 1 3 2 2 3 1 3 3 [3] 2 7 s = slide finger 8 9 |-1-0-----------------|---------------3-5-|-3-----------4-1p0---| |-----3-2-3-5-6-5p3s2-|-3---0-2-3-5-6-----|---6-5-3-5-6------h3-| |---------------------|-2-2---------------|---------------------| |---------------------|-3-----------------|---------------------| |---------------------|-0=============----|---------------------| |---------------------|-------------------|---------------------| 1 3 2 3s3 4 3p1s1 3 1 1 1 3 4 1 3 1 4 3 1 3 4 2 1 3 1 2 10 11 12 |-0-------0---4-5-7-|-5-4---0-----------|--------------------| |-0-0-1-3---6-------|-----6---3-1-0-1-2-|-1------------------| |-1-----------------|-------------------|--------------1-2-4-| |-------------------|-------------------|----------2-4-------| |-0=============----|-------------------|-0-2p0--0======-----| |-------------------|-------------------|------h4------------| 1 1 3s~~3 1 2 4 2 1 3s~~3 1 1 3 1 2 3 2 4 1 2 4 13 14 15 |---------------------|-------------------|-------------------| |-1-----------------0-|-1-------------1-3-|-4-3-1-------------| |---------------0-2---|-2-------0-2-3-----|-------3-2-0---0-2-| |-2---------2-4-------|-0-0-2-4-----------|-------------4-----| |---0-----------------|-------------------|-------------------| |-3--h3p2h3-----------|-2-----------------|-------------------| 1 3 2 3 2 4 3 1 2 4 2 3 1 3 4 3 1 3 2 4 2 2 [2 1 2 1] 3 3 2 16 17 18 |--------------0-2-3-5-|-6------------0-1-3-5-|-6--------------------| |------------3---------|-3----------3---------|-5----------------1-3-| |-3---2p0--0====-------|-3--------------------|-5----------0-2-3-----| |-0------h4------------|-3--5p3s2h3====-------|----3p2p0h2====-------| |----------------------|----------------------|-7--------------------| |-3--------------------|----------------------|----------------------| 3 1 3 2 1 2 4 4 3 1s1h2 3 1 3s3 2 2 1 0 2 2 3 1 3 2 1 [4] 1 1 3 19 20 21 |-------------0-1-3-|-------------------------|-------------------------| |-1-------1-3-------|--------10-10-10---------|--------10-10-10---------| |---3-2-3-----------|-----10---------------10-|-----10---------------10-| |-------------------|---10--------------10----|---10--------------10----| |-------------------|-8---------------8-------|-7---------------7-------| |-------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| 1 3 2 3 1 3 1 3 1 4bar~~~~~~~~ 1 4 4 1 4bar~~~~~~~~ 1 4 4 22 23 24 |---------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------| |---------10-10-10----------|-------10-10-10--------|-------10-10-10-------| |------10----------------10-|-----9---------------9-|-----8--------------8-| |----9-----------------9----|---7---------------7---|---7--------------7---| |---------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------| |-10----------------10------|-8---------------8-----|-7--------------7-----| 2 1 3 4 slide fingers 2 1 3 4 1bar 2 4 25 see below 26 27 |-------2-2-2-------|-------3-3-3--------|-------0-0-0-------| |-----1-----------1-|-----0------------0-|-----0-----------0-| |---2-----------2---|---0------------0---|---0-----------0---| |-1-----------1-----|-2------------2-----|-0-----------0-----| |-------------------|--------------------|-------------------| |-------------------|--------------------|-------------------| 1 2 1 3 1 3 25 alternate fingering for 25.
