Nocturno - Federico Moreno Torroba (1891-1982)
Tablature by Greg Boland - bolandgreg@hotmail.com
I haven't learned this piece so the transcription hasn't been
stress tested yet. I have proof-read it a couple of times and
feel pretty confident that the fingerings are accurate.
It is an interesting piece that is harder than it looks.

measure 45 - barre on 9th fret? (no barre in sheet)

measure 89 - the sheet fingering indicates a | |

chord could be played lower down |7=======--------|
the guitar (with the B on the 2nd |----------------|
fret 5th string) and sliding up |9=======--------|
on the 1st string, but the chord |7=======--------|
could not then be held 4---4
measures 100,101 - the sheet has no natural sign ----------
before the F on the 3rd string ---<12>---
so it would remain an F#, but ----11----
this is such a bad discord it ---<7>----
is probably a mistake? ----------
----------
measure 116 - sheet has barree on 7th fret?? should be on 3rd or 8th frets?
