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 the strummed chords, add as many open strings as sound good. Or, try
the ready-to-go version for modern guitar.
Full text across the top of the page, on one line, serving 2 pieces:
Passacalles por la G, y B.
por el Tres, y Dos.
y por el Sexto, y Quinto Tono
The Baroque guitar "G" chord is our first position F chord.
Fixes to the original (m=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
