The D tuning has been adopted by the best writers and teachers as being preferable. ‘To avold confusion in the location of notes and the reading of chordsall notes which are to be made on the fourth string (A) will be written an octave lower than they actually sound, thus always appear- ing as the lowest notes of the chords (when four notes are used). ‘The following diagram shows all the notes and their location on the staff and the fingerboard,as far as the twelfth fret on each string.

The sinall notes represented on the fourth string show the actual pitch, while the lower octave shows the way they will appear on the staff. In making the notes, the fingers are placed just back of the frets,touch. ing them, but not reaching over. HOLDING THE INSTRUMENT (The position of the instrument, hands,ete., is shown in the cut on the first page). ‘The right forearm presses lightly against the body of the instrument, so that it can be held inplace either in the sitting or standing position ‘The neck must rest very lightly against the ball of the left thumb and just above the third jointof copyright MOBIXVI by Jerome H.Rtemick & Co, New York &Deteait Pee NON prwadional Cnpyright Secured4 the first finger, the tip of the thumb never appearing above the edge of the fingerboard, and in many cases being placed almost in the enter of the back of the neck. The tips of the fingers must beused inholding down the strings, the joints being well rounded and the nails kept rather short,to avoid touching the strings. Since the object of this preliminary matter is merely to explain the ground actually covered in the songs which follow, much rudimentary matter is necessarily omitted and it is taken for grantedthat those who procure the Folio, either for study or for pleasure, already have, or can easily obtain the necessary rudiments covering time values of notes, signatures of keys, the use of sharps,flats,nat- urals and the various signs and terms used in musical notation.
