Referring to Arto's message, quoted below. Reading my newly arrived Damiani "Method" is my first exposure to Italian tabulature, it seems it is not only numeric (in contrast to the French letters) but also "up side down" (the treble course at the bottom). It would seem to be difficult to convert be

Jon, Another way to think of Italian tab is looking through the neck with x-ray vision from the thumb side while you're in playing position. -- David Jon Murphy wrote: >Referring to Arto's message, quoted below. Reading my newly arrived Damiani >"Method" is my first exposure to Italian tabulat
