Moonlight Sonata Intro by Ludwig Van Beethoven Sonata No. 14 in E major ("Moonlight") Mvt. 1 Tabbed By: Nick Medovich Composed By: Ludwig van Beethoven Tuning(Bass): Standard Tuning(Guitar): Standard (Can be played in drop D, raise all notes up a step) A very fun song to learn, I'm mixing the bass and guitar together for this so it doesn't get all confusing and out of time when you play it together. **I recommend very strongly that you do NOT use a pick for this song. In a tuplet, three eith notes add up to make the value of 1 quarter note. So, 4 sets of tuplets = 4 quarter notes, and 1 measure. Time: 4/4 v---v(Eight note tuplets) G(E)|------------------------------|------------------------------| U(B)|-------5------5------5------5-|-------5------5------5------5-| I(G)|-----6------6------6------6---|-----6------6------6------6---| T(D)|---6------6------6------6-----|---6------6------6------6-----| A(A)|------------------------------|------------------------------| R(E)|------------------------------|------------------------------| (Hold for full measure) B(G)|-6----------------------------|---4--------------------------| A(D)|------------------------------|------------------------------| S(A)|-4----------------------------|---2--------------------------| S(E)|------------------------------|------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------- (Variations) G(E)|------------------------------|------------------------------| U(B)|-------5------5------7------7-|-------7------7------4------5-| I(G)|-----6------6------6------5---|-----6------6------6------6---| T(D)|---7------7------6------6-----|---6------5------6------4-----| A(A)|------------------------------|------------------------------| R(E)|------------------------------|------------------------------| V--Half notes-v Chord is played twice, not held.
