London's Rebetiko is a Greek baglamas instrumental in a four dotted quarters time signature. While |I have written baglamas tablature and standard notation, today I also added guitar tabs - an arrangement of the original baglamas melody. 

I also added a rhythm template suggestion.

To see, hear and download the package, go here:
