Intro
Tarrega actually wrote the nokia ring tone heard everywhere today.
In Grand Waltz, you will play along the entire neck.
You will also play certain parts with the melody in a fixed barred
position for multiple measures.Be sure to hold double notes
suspension for a full measure (bass/treble). Finally you will
get to play the famous Nokia Ring Tone.

Techniques
There are 4 parts to this song. Each Part played twice in this order
(A-BB-CC-DD-A).

Part A
Double Note suspension. Longest Part
Bar[4]-[11] Play the melody while holding the barred chords for
8 straight measures.
Bar[14]-[17] Nokia ring tone. Ends with a harmonic.
Lightly touch the string and plucK (bell like sound).

Part B
Pull offs and hammer ons. Chord slide. Hardest part
Bar[37] Barred chord pull off is a stretch. Make sure you hold
the bass note at 9th fret (after the slide)
while stretching your pinky to the 14th fret (pull off).
Bar[46]-[47] Chord slide. keep your 3 fingers locked and slide
the chord to different frets.

Part C
Double note suspension
Bar[52]-[62] Play the melody while holding the barred chords
for 10 straight measures.
Painful to wrist at first.

Part D
Easiest part
Bar[72]-[73] 9th to 2nd fret (barred chords) jump from right
to left.

Tips
Play the 4 parts separately until you have reached fluidity.
Work on each part and piece them
together at the end. Loop each part mulitple times.
