Sergei Rachmaninoff · guitar tab

The first lines of Prelude in C-sharp minor 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.

Rachmaninoff's most famous piece (Op. 3 No. 2, 1892), arranged for guitar in A minor so the great opening bass notes fall on the open A string: tolling bells, a stormy middle and a thundering return. Big chords, so some are thinned to fit one hand. About three and a half minutes.
