The Round Battle Galliard (Poulton No. 39) by John Dowland (1563-1626) – Sheet music and TAB for classical guitar. Includes a Notation-Only Edition and a Notation + Modern TAB Edition. Left hand fingering. The level is Intermediate (Grade 7), generally easy but a few tricky chords shapes. Tuning: 3rd string down to F# (Dowland’s lute tuning) for this edition (see the video below).

One of my favourite composers of the Elizabethan era and all time.
