Looking at the TAB, I see two different Dm chords, two Cs, and three Bflats. I can dig into the TAB and figure out which fingering each instance of the chord calls for, but I’m curious as to why the different fingerings for the chords with multiple options aren’t annotated on the music sheet? I can memorize the differences and/or annotate the music myself in some way, but…
Adding chord diagrams for this type of song is more of an afterthought, Robin. This is a fingerstyle song that’s best learned by the notation, or tabs, and by listening. Consider the chords just a helpful hint. There are so many different fingerings for chords that it wouldn’t make sense to create notations for each different fingering.
I’ve been trying to learn the chords in this course by making flash cards for the various cord fingerins. But if there are so many different fingerings for chords am I wasting my time?
Probably not that useful for fingerstyle guitar. I think that could be helpful when learning basic folk style guitar in the beginning before you start getting into different fingerings.
Am I misunderstanding something? In the tab for Isabelita, it shows that you play the 1st section once and the 2nd twice. And instead of going from Bb flat major to A, you go from C to A, to Bb, and back to A. In the video, it’s differs slightly. Which one is correct?
Neri – It seems correct to me, but I’m definitely not an expert. It’s due to the Repeats and 1st/2nd Endings that were explained in the YouTube video on lesson 2-4.
The 1st Ending starts with C and then repeats back to the beginning of Section 2 with the Dm “baby chord”. Then the 2nd ending starts with the A, then Bb, and ends with A – no repeats.
However, Tomas can probably explain it more eloquently. 🙂
What I beautiful melody! Finally it comes together and start sounding like it should!

Check out the web for examples of classical guitar sheet music. Here’s a place to start: https://www.tonebase.co/guitar/free-sheet-music-library. No chord symbols.

Hi Brian. The Play-Along videos are labeled Slow/Medium/Fast for this lesson (Tabs next to EXPLANATION). I will change this in the future to PLAY.
Thanks for the info Wally and Tomas. I wanted make sure I was practicing it correctly.

Correction it differs slightly, not it’s.
