The transcription into Finale is a resounding failure. The notes are there but that is about it. Tutorial 7 shows how to do slides but the playback sound is horrible so I have left the slides out, which rather defeats the whole idea of the piece.

Also the sustained notes (open strings) should be louder than the runs but I don't see how to do this - the two layers seem to follow the same dynamics. So the playback is wrong (unmusical) in this respect also.

I've only had Finale for about a week moving up from NoteWorthy so there are hundreds of techniques yet to be mastered - I am open to suggestions - although I am more into keyboard and woodwind ensembles heading eventually to full orchestra.

I gave this effort its cute title "Gravol Gaucho" to suggest a non-serious westernish mood.

I don't play guitar and, although I know two people who do, neither has tried a performance for me. Just an experiment - if it is unplayable, c'est la vie!
