RUBINA (INTRO) (Live)

(From the 2001 Video LIVE FROM SAN FRANCISCO)

Music by Joe Satriani

Arranged by Joe Satriani

This is a nice and easy piece. The pattern in which your fingers play the arpeggio,

is repeated for the first 6 bars. You just need to change your root note and play

the same pattern again.

Dynamics:

Accent the first note of each bar and the 2 notes at the peak of the arpeggio

(in the first bar you accent 6(10) and 2(15) 1(17)). Build in volume as you scale

up the arpeggio, then soften the volume as you scale down (crescendo/decrescendo

respectively).

You don't need the music to play this piece, all the notes are 16th's (semi-demi-quaver)
