The Rushing Camel by Gilad Cohen

Gilad Cohen

The Rushing Camel for classical guitar solo

(2012)

The Rushing Camel Performance Notes: The guitar should be tuned (from bottom to top): D-A-D-G-Bb-E. - All mordents and trills are half-step, unless otherwise indicated. p. mute - Palm mute with the right hand. l.h. mute - Gently touch the open string with the left hand, as close as possible to the nut. l.r. - Let ring sl. - Slide h. - Hammer-on harm. h. - Harmonic hammer-on - after plucking the previous chord, hammer with gentle touch, stopping the sound of the fundimental note and leaving the indicated harmonic to ring. b. - Bend b. 1/2 ^ - before plucking bend the notated note up half a step, then pluck and release slowly - Pluck loudly with the index finger and let it hit the guitar's body. stop

- Stop all strings loudly with left hand's palm

The Rushing Camel Updated June 26th 2012

Allegro Mysterioso (q=120)

Apply "harmonic pressure" throughout this section, alternating between percussive, non-pitched sounds and harmonics when occur. Slide L.H. slowly, capturing as many harmonics as possible when those occur and slow the gliss down accordingly. 1 Add/omit repetitions ad lib. slide
