Very nice, Michael. Just eyeballing the written notes, it looks very close to the original. Long non-repeating classical pieces like this really require notation or tab, for the very reason you mention. Memorizing them is dang near impossible, especially when you reach a certain age. Considering how much time it must have taken you to figure out the tab, I'm guessing you are retired. Regardless, it must be a beautiful and rewarding way to spend ones time.

Well done, Michael. Except you left out the blues notes from the 28th and 29th measures.

Thanks David and Mike,

Mike, those 2 bars were the biggest compromise I had to make.
I could not get the intonation on that chord to sound even vaguely
"in tune" .


The Bass player got the note!!

OOOPS !! I'm referring to bars 16 & 18.

Mike's referring to bar 29. It's fixed

Thanks Mike

If that's the only typo I'll be amazed!!

Michael
