The first lines of Gymnopédie No. 1 as guitar tab in TabCraft
The opening bars, as TabCraft shows them. Open it to hear it played, follow along, slow it down or change it.

Satie's slow, dreamy piano piece, a favourite on guitar: a long, quiet melody floating over a bass note that rings on and a soft chord on the second and third beats. Played with the repeat and both of its endings, about three and a half minutes, and on the repeat the chords are rolled for a little variety. Easy on the hands, so it's a good first piece to follow along with.
