This file was written with font: Courier New, size 12. Le Petite Moulin (The Little Windmill); by Camille Saint Saens. Tab & left hand fingering by James Jay A great piece easy to play. Good for an opening selection. To learn this, or any piece, play v-e-r-y slowly until you are bored stiff. Then increase the metronome by 1 notch. OK go for 2 notches but don't bust ya fingers! Normal tuning. EADGBE 4/4 time signature. All notes are played as 16ths. Numbers in brackets are suggested alternate fingerings; like so [3]. Feel free to use your own fingering. Repeat measures 1 to 12 & then jump to the second ending at measure 17. The fermetta at measure 22 means hold the last note for few extra seconds. I usually play a slight retard at 22 as well. Give it a strong emphasis to create tension & then relieve it with the last bar. Watch out now... there's a marksman in the back of the audience with a rifle & scope trained on the neck of your guitar & following your left hand movement. As soon as he sees the tip of the thumb stick out above the neck he will pick it right off. Have fun ! ===========================Le Petite Moulin============================= Camille Saint Saens Allegretto.. 1 2 |-------3-------2-------0-------2-|-------3-------2-------0-------2-| |-----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----1-------1-------1-------1---| |---0-------0-------0-------0-----|---2-------2-------2-------2-----| |---------0---------------0-------|---------0---------------0-------| |---------------------------------|-0---------------0---------------| |-3---------------3---------------|---------------------------------| 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 4 2 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 3 same as 1 4 same as 2 |-------3-------2-------0-------2-|-------3-------2-------0-------2-| |-----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----1-------1-------1-------1---| |---0-------0-------0-------0-----|---2-------2-------2-------2-----| |---------0---------------0-------|---------0---------------0-------| |---------------------------------|-0---------------0---------------| |-3---------------3---------------|---------------------------------| 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 4 2 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 5 6 |-----------------------------0---|-----------------------------3---| |-----0-------1-------3-----------|-----3-------1-------3-----------| |---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------0-------2-------3-------|-2-------0-------2---------------| |-3-------------------------------|-------------------------3-------| 2 1 2 4 3 2 4 1 2 4 2 3 7 same as 5 8 same as 6 |-----------------------------0---|-----------------------------3---| |-----0-------1-------3-----------|-----3-------1-------3-----------| |---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------0-------2-------3-------|-2-------0-------2---------------| |-3-------------------------------|-------------------------3-------| 2 1 2 4 3 2 4 1 2 4 2 3 9 10 |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |-----2-------3-------5-------7---|-----5-------3-------2-------2---| |---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |-0---------------0---------------|-0---------------0---------------| |---------0---------------0-------|---------0---------------0-------| 3 3 -
