After 12 years I still find Mel Bays guitar method books a challenge. I am working on  “Minueto” from the Sonata OP 25 by Fernando Sor. (arrangement by Mel.) I was curious about the original music and if it would shed some light on the lesson. I noticed something odd in the original, “slashes” above and under the repeat sign. It appears they are just decorating the music.The 6th measure also has a couple of unknown marks.
 

In Mel’s arrangement he inserted a chord that I can’t finger.  I couldn’t help but notice it wasn’t in F. Sor version, so I am pleased that  I can  comfortably edit my lesson. It never fails,I find something I like and there is always a fingering that’s impossible.
