PERFORMANCE NOTES______________________________________________________
For the beginner, the only difficulty besides the chord positions
will be the rhythm of some of the bars. Between the 2nd and third
beats is where the second note* of the bar falls. If your tapping
your foot, it should be played when the foot comes up or on the
up-beat.
