A Slight Disagreement

An original work (part one of two preludes) composed for solo electric guitar, in tabulature and standard notation.

Following is an original composition for solo electric guitar. "A Slight Disagreement" is the first of my "Electric Etudes".

The piece is primarily in the first position.
Accent all picked notes
Work with short sections at a slow tempo. When ready, increase tempo, and move on.
Bars 34 and 35 require an unusual combination of barring and slurs - this will probably take some time to master.
