Albéniz Isaac, "Granada" (TAB)

The opening section must be studied in sub-sections. When lifting finger 3 from the B on string 4, avoid undesired noise by lifting the finger up and and not sideways. The opening section is repeated.  The opening chord must be arpeggiated (Refer to Compelmentary Video #2 to see how to best perform thh opening arpeggiated chord).  Bring out the E (string 3) played with the thumb p. The E is part of the main melody: E D# C# B C# D#. See how to bring out notes in chords with the complementary video below. Your right hand sequence will be p m a p.  Look at the videos below to learn how to bring out notes in chords, how to perform the arpeggiated chord and how to avoid string squeaks when moving finger 3 from the B to the D#.. The 2 hands must share the work in order to lighten up the effort required on the left hand.

The opening Arpeggiated Chord of Granada is like the signature reef of the piece. I love to bring out the E on string 3 from the pack.  Although the E precedes the other notes in the score the effect you get by putting it last is in my opinion far superior.
