Short ID: gs2.4f Date: 1675 Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E). Time sig: 3 FOR BAROQUE GUITAR: This tablature is faithful to Sanz's original for the Baroque guitar. It has been flipped "right-side up." Continual rhythm information is shown. If you have a modern guitar, consider adding or substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string. In strummed chords, add as many open strings as sound good. Or, try the ready-to-go version for MODERN GUITAR. Fixes to the original (m=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String): M4p2s1. Original tablature showed mordent and trill on the same note. I went with the trill here. M37-38. Original tablature showed no bar line separating these measures. Gaspar had run out of space!
