In need of tips on how Bouree in E minor is meant to be played.

[Dr. Overtones]

First of all, I've already learned the song, and it was surprisingly easy - it only took a few hours for me to get it fairly clean and up to speed. It is incredibly fun to play, though - even though I am playing it on a steel string.:D Here's where the problem lies - I don't have sheet music for it (nor can I easily apply sheet music to guitar quite yet), so I'm not completely sure where everything is as far as staccato notes, vibrato, etc.

I can play it easily both with all notes "regular" (non-staccato) and I can also play it with all the "in-between" notes staccato. If neither of those are correct, please tell me what is and I should be able to fix it up fairly quickly. As far as vibrato goes, I'm currently adding vibrato to anything fretted (not open, obviously) on the B and high E strings that's a quarter note in length or more (if there is a "more" - no need to be picky and check just to type up a post).

Thanks in advanced, everyone. Also, if you have a suggestion for something more challenging (but not overwhelmingly so) from either the baroque or classical period, please tell me what it is.

Have you youtube'd this to see how others are playing it?

Here's one example of many, many: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKSg8t4zyLg

If I could actually answer your questions, of course I would have, but maybe youtube is a start. :)

That should answer the question...;)

I can't believe I didn't think of this. I haven't had internet for two weeks, and today being my first day back on the internet I guess I just completely forgot I could do that.


Sorry for the stupid questions, everyone. I could have solved this myself, I guess. My bad.;)


EDIT: And as it turns out, the guy in that video is playing the exact same version I play (I understand there are different ways to play it - correct me if I'm wrong). I wonder if that slide was intentional, because I don't do that and I'm not sure I like it very much...
