Crap!! I was looking forward to messing with this one, but the hand writing is atrocious.
I literally cannot make out the handwriting. I can read a few numbers here and there, but mostly, i cant read it.
Im utterly amazed there are people who can read this. I have 20/20 vision, and i can barely make out any of it.
Anybody have a ledgable copy of this?? Preferably not hand written.
Im guessing probably not. Maybe the reason you dont hear many people playing this one, is not because its ferociously hard, but because they just cant read Alan's horrible handwriting.
I mean seriously, this has gotta be a joke or something..
Just out of curiousity, maybe somebody can complete this for me.
Part 2 2nd Line, 2nd measure=
8th rest / 3~4 / then 2 notes on E string, no idea what they are. Looks like some kind of scribbly A or something. No idea what the **** that means. then 3~5~3 on the high E, then another scribbly A thingy. Then 5/ then a chord with more scribbles that i cant read.

Thanks TG. Now I understand what you mean by squiggly A's.
Its cos the numbers are in French
Todd, it works both ways. We have to translate what you guys in the U.S. call Measures into Bars, half and quarter notes into minims and crotchets, 8th rest means quaver rest here on this side of the pond or silencio de corchea in Spanish. In return we offer you a bewildering array of 7's, 1's and 4's to figure out in different languages
Yeah those one's I thought were 7's or something at first. Also a pain is the 9's because they look like 0's with a little tail or something. Luckily, He always does it the same way, so you get used to it. It is hard when you see 9' and 0's in the same part of the neck. I prefer standard notation and tab underneath. Faucher's printed books are "normal". But his hand written under the table transcriptions are all like this.
Yeah, I used to wonder why the French and Spanish put a stroke through a 7. It's because they begin the 1 with an upstroke, making it sometimes look like a 7. So the little stroke differentiates.
I notice my daughter is being taught to write a 1 like this, whereas I was taught a 1 as just a single stroke.
Do I detect the hand of the European Union in this?
cheers,
Ron
