New version:
This is a version with some corrections suggested by reader Ted

>I was listening to “Preludio en do menor (in C minor)” played by John Williams
>while going over your tablature for the piece and I noticed a few, small mistakes.
>I know you made this tab a long time ago and I don’t know if you’re still interested in it,
>but I took the liberty of correcting the mistakes if you are interested.
>I’ve attached it to this e-mail as a Notepad document.
>
>I also changed the fretting of the last chord in the song to make it more simple,
>but it is your tab and your site so of course you are free to keep it your original way.
>This is just how I play it and taking into consideration the chord that this piece starts with,
>it seems to make the most sense if it is ended in the same region.
>Anyway, that’s all. Take care.

His version is at the end of the file Thanks Ted!

This is a beatiful prelude in C minor by the master Agustín Barrios Mangoré. The song may sound easy, but being in a somewhat uncomfortable key for the guitar makes it quite challenging. The trick is making it sound simple and accentuating the melody.

I’ve been prominsing to add left hand fingering to the tab since I made it 8 (!) years ago, so I’ll try to work on it this weekend.

Enjoy and comment! Do you like Barrios as much as I do? =o)

 Hi everyone! I’m sorry I haven’t made any classical tabs lately, this year I’ve been pretty occupied recording a CD with my band, it should be out very soon. The music is a mix of Rock, Jazz and Blues. I’ll post soon with some pictures of the artwork of the CD and hopefully a song or two. Thanks for visiting!
