Hello GMC!
This is the famous "William Tell Overture" by Gioacchino Rossini.
I have prepared this version for beginners. You will play solo and fingerstyle accompaniment with alternating bass.
For the solo part, pay attention to the alternate picking as this is crucial to be able to play it fast and accurate.
For the chords I put the palm of my right hand on the sixth, fifth and fourth strings.
This allows me to get a more beautiful sound.
Perform the song very slowly at first, then gradually increase the speed until you master the technique.
