Source: Instruccion; tomo 2; page 3.
Date: 1697.
Facsimile: Minkoff, 1976.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).

Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M58 original had a bar line after beat 3. Bar line has been removed here.
Where 2 simultaneous notes are shown here with vibrato, Sanz only wrote
one vibrato symbol, generally below the tablature staff.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor.
# = vibrato.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
Octave doublings: If you play this on a modern guitar, consider adding or
substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 18 31 51. Last measure is 63.
