Notes:

Nice to see that there are more people out there transcribing
Kapsberger to the 6-string - keep 'em coming! Here's an other
ditty, which might have been called "16 variations on G-C-D."
Also tabbed from a Paul O'Dette recording.

The double vertical bars indicates that each two-bar group is
to be played twice (I dispensed with the dots). My suggestion
for the left hand fingering is just that, a suggestion.

If you are unhappy with the tuning, it's no big deal to
transcribe it into EADgbe (standard), DADgbd, or DADgbe
instead. Matter of taste.

Comments and corrections welcome!
