This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Francois Campion's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Back to the main page for Francois Campion, with an index of his works for the Baroque guitar in alternate tunings.
When you need a break from the guitar, please consider my page of Scrabble II for word lovers!

Tablature elements to be added by hand:
  Slurs. If only a starting point is given, slur includes all the following 
  uninterrupted notes on the same string.
    M4 r1-2s1.
    M6 r1s2.
    M10 r1s1.
    M19 r1-2s1.
    M20 r1-2s2.
    M21 r1-2s1, r1s5.
    M24 r1-2s1.
    M28 r2s5.
    M30 r1s5.
    M33 r1-2s1? (Original places slur at bottom of chord.)
    M34 r1s1.

Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords 
  were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good. 
  Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated 
  stem, just under the beam if a beam is present.    

Explanation of symbols: 
  " = trill (starting on upper neighbor). 
  , = mordent (main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note).
  . = do not strum this string in the chord. 
  $ = petite reprise symbols. Repeat the material between the signs.

Octave doublings: To keep certain musical lines intact on the modern guitar, 
  consider adding or substituting the next octave up. For example, see:
  m25r2.

Leading measures in Campion's original tablature:
  1 10 19 28. Last measure is 36.
