Grace the Notes I

Grace note is an ornament of a note. A quick passing note played in front of an actual note. Grace note can be performed using various techniques: hammers / pulls, slides, bends, or even taps. In notation / tablatures it’s written on a smaller font. It’s decoration of the note and not counted as part of the rhythm of the measure. You just SQUEEZE it there!
