READ THIS (before you get your tattoo): These examples are all "improperly" scored for guitar. Sorry everyone. The notes may be accurate, but the formatting of the music is not correct...
The problem is stem directions. Bass notes are considered a separate "voice" and are written with stems down. The score should also show bass notes' full sustained duration.
The examples above all appear to be written in a single voice or "layer." They do not show the bass as a separate voice, and do not indicate bass-note duration.
I scored out the first two bars more "properly" in Finale -- but I can't figure out how to upload it or get it to display here. Help me out - or check out any serious, published collection of classical guitar music to see how this is supposed to look.
Voices, stem direction and note duration are all part of a "properly" scored piece of music.
