Playing Agustín Barrios's La Catedral on Acoustic Guitar

Custom Sheet Music
Being a classical masterpiece, I found plenty of sheet music and tutorials.
However, I don’t like dealing with page turns, so I made my own sheet music using my own notation.

Practice Notes
Compared to the pieces I’ve tackled so far, there’s a lot more movement in the high positions, so it looks like it’ll take a while to get used to.
That said, the playing difficulty might actually be surprisingly low. Basically, you change your finger shape every measure, and after that, just pluck the strings in the right order.
Clearly easier than Le Souvenir avec le crepuscule.
Easier than, or about the same as, Les murmures des flots.
