Music symbols used in the piece

D.C. al Fine – Go back to the beginning of the piece until the “Fine” sign.
Fine – End (in Italian). Sometimes written as Fin (in French).

If needed, you can check out this guide on understanding music symbols.

Note on barre chord symbols

You might see barre chords written as C.1, C.2, etc… to represent the Spanish word “cejilla” which means barre. I replace this with B.1, B.2, etc… to represent a barre on a certain fret.

Note that these symbols don’t always require barring all strings, so check the notation to see which string the barre starts on. The dashed lines indicate how long to hold each barre.
