Paganini Caprice #11
feel free to write me with corrections, comments, or suggestions)
This is a slower caprice by Paganini, from his 24 Caprices. It is also
one of the more beautiful sounding, in my opinion. The tempo is slow,
and I have only transcribed the first slow section. A second, faster
section follows this one, which is then followed by the slow section
again to finish the caprice. I have included chords below the TAB,
and comments are on the top.

NOTE: The chords sound best when you "strum" them with your fingers,
where each note is a little offset from the other. For example,
the last flourish before the ending could be written as:
hold....

...but since it was easier to write the TAB with the chord notes
right on top of each other, I just did that to save space.
Well, that was just a tip or suggestion, HAVE FUN!
