A beautiful tune with interesting chords in a "roll" style arrangement in high G. I'd like to know if the tab works without reference to the audio. Does it need RH fingerings? I have coloured the melody notes green on the tab so all the other notes are just my embellishments. (whoops. Scanned it in B&W but the PDF is coloured)

Bar 15 is a bit tricky and requires the heel of the bar to go down on the slant for the first note but raised so that you can play the open third string.

Not being a sight reader of music, and never used tablature, I clicked on the MP3 link to hear this piece, but it said "file not found on this site"

Thank you for the encouragement, fellas. Sadly no classical guitar training, Mike, but I was motivated to do something about my right hand after seeing one of your videos (Suck in your stomach?) a year or so ago. I have been keeping constant pressure on it and developing slowly, mostly working on rolls and alternate picking on resonator but it seems to be benefiting my lap playing also.
