	                     Tocata & Fugue
		             TOCATA (For classical guitar)
                             (J.S. BACH)


			NOTE BY SÓCRATES:

Tanscribed by Sócrates.



	I transcribed the tablature for acoustic guitar, the
worn techniques are very different to those of the
electric guitar, in fact this is a classical piece and
I thought appropriate transcribe it for classical
guitar.

	As I said before the techniques are different, and I
thought that is indispensable write the fingering of
the two hands.

...With nothing else to say, hope that have fun;)

Legend:

^   = legato
!   = strum with hand
/   = arpeggiated strum
\     with thumb
/
tr  = trill
C   = with index finger
C  = with half index finger
... = similar


Fingering:
 _____________________
|right hand:          |
|i   = index finger   |
|m   = middle finger  |
|a   = ring finger    |
|p   = thumb          |
|left hand:           |
|1 = index finger     |
|2 = middle finger    |
|3 = ring finger      |
|4 = pinky            |
