BUMBLEBEE
By NUNO BETTENCOURT

Transcribed by Sócrates

This is one of the most beautiful pieces which
I have listened to from Nuno, it is a really pretty
composition.
The composition is at 4/4, but don't made the
correct separation of the compasses. It is a very slow
composition and easy to perform, but it gets one quick
portion which could create you some difficulties.
There is a portion from which I am not very certain
that it be alright, but the rest I think that is
right.
However, this is the basic idea of the
composition, since Nuno uses a lot the bar in some
portions to descend a few the tones, but I didn't
denote those portions in the tab. If you are able to
do any arrangement, or if I have been mistaken in
anything, please send me your version, I will be you
very grateful.
This composition performs with a Delay and Tune your
guitar at D#.

Have fun:)
