My transcription of Etude Op.45 Nr.7 by Franz Wohlfahrt (1833-1884), originally written for violin but also useful in mandolin practice. In the preface to Etudes Op.45 the maestro says:

Jim, yes that is what I meant. I would struggle to read bass clef on the guitar (i know some do). And thanks for taking up the baton.
