Beginner guitar - Aura Lee
 

Hi friends,

Since Ralph's pieces are enjoying such great success, I thought I'd post a few pieces here.

My Mom is learning to play guitar, and is just starting out with some very basic single-string exercises. I'm helping her out a bit by entering her music into Notation Composer so she can hear what the song should sound like, as well as have some fingering "helps" til the notation starts to connect a bit better with her fingers for her.

With that in mind, I've done a bit of "cheating" :) In these files, the note pitch names are displayed (Format/Display pitches in noteheads). I've also added the string and fret numbers beneath the notes as lyrics. So "3-2" would mean "third string, second fret." Since they're entered as Lyrics, they can be easily displayed or hidden using the "eyeglasses" button in the Lyric palette toolbar.

This is the tune Aura Lee, also known to Elvis fans as "Love Me Tender".
