Technique
There are 4 parts to this song each with 8 measures. 32 bars in total.
Andantino in A minor is an early intermediate song ideal for beginners.
This song is easy because the rhythm is constant, there are no barre
Chords, and only a few chord shapes to remember. For the right hand, all
pima will be used so you will get a good plucking exercise. In my video,
I play this song straight abcd. but Andantino in A minor is actually
longer-double the length-as you are supposed to play each part twice
(AA-BB-CC-DD). Time signature is 2/4. Standard tuning.
Tips
Watch out for the right hand fingering for the upward sweep in Bar[20],
part C of the song.
