The gigue is a lively baroque dance originating from the British Jig.
Jig is a folk dance, as well as the accompanying dance tune, originating
in the sixteenth century. Today a jig ismost associated with Irish dance
music and Scottish country dance music.
The Jig was imported into France in the mid-17th century and usually

Notes
=====
This gigue is a 2 part song. 51 unique bars. Play AABB. Repeat both
parts. Part B is longer-double in duration. You will need to devote some
time on this song. Don't expect to get this song down in a week. Instead
give yourself a month.
Here are 4 parts I found most challenging.
Fast hammer ons (2x) demiSemi quavers.
Bar[15]-[16] Closure of Part A
Bar[21]-[22] Part B
Bar[33]-[34] Part B
Bar[49]-[50] Closure of Part B
Cross string semi quavers. If difficult, try adding pulling off/hammer on.
Bar[26] Part A
Bar[38] Part B I've included an easier pull off version (bottom of tabs).
Play slow and Hold/Suspend Bass Notes in every measure.
With the exception of trills, TRY to eliminate pull offs/hammer and also
slides.
Easier Right Hand
[38]* I2.
