Greetings,
I was wondering what other people thought about
this. I'm fingering some music for the guitar, and I'm starting to wonder about
how readable the fingerings are (i.e. the 3 on the 3rd beat of bar 2 in the

perfectionist?
I might clarify a couple of these. Some of them have literal translations
which provide a good indication of their meaning.
