Notes
This piece is not difficult to play as there are no barred chords and tricky fingering. Tempo is Andante which means keeping the tempo moderately slow and even. Many of Carulli’s songs focuses on exercises and helping the player get familarized with the instrument. Many of his songs are easy to play. If you are new to the classical guitar. Ferdinando Carulli will definitely be a good start.
