Easy Guitar Sheet Music with Notes, Chords & Tablature in C

This is a simple transcription for guitar with bass and middle voice plus recommended fingering. As much as the song is great for singing with kids, it is also an ideal piece for guitar beginners. You can practice the notes on the 1^st position and up to the 5^thfret with all 4 fingers of the left hand. The upper melody line is played on the strings E and B.

The piece is also good for right hand mobility and control, as one can practice all the basic techniques: apoyando, tirando and a few dyads with i-m, while the thumb moves on all the bass strings.

Apoyando is recommended for the melody so that it will stand out clearly – it is pointed with the accent articulation sign. The accompanying middle voice should be played tirando i-m or m-i-m for a more subtle sound. Through this voice combination a beautiful exercise is derived for the right hand, playing apoyando – tirando in turn.
