- Climate Changes for Seven String Guitar (95)
New release for seven string classical guitar. Standard notation & TAB.
The music of the fusion group Weather Report had a huge influence on my development as a musician. Several bands I have been in covered material from “Heavy Weather” and “Black Market”. Such great writing and playing.
A few years ago I had this idea to work up some of my favorite Weather Report tunes for classical guitar. After years of playing and editing this collection of three pieces condensed out. The core of each piece is clearly drawn from the original composition – with lots of stuff added. Not easy to play!
- Bach Two Part Inventions for 7 String Guitar (93)
Re-release of this collection of Baroque “hits” for 7 string classical guitar. Standard notation & TAB. Updated fingerings, better TAB, optimized page layout.
A few of these fifteen pieces have popped up in various classical guitar collections on my shelves. Some of them worked fine, but regular six string guitar tuning doesn’t cover enough range. This was my entry into the world of seven string guitar arranging and composing. Add one low “B” string on the bottom and many things become possible – not necessarily easy.
The fingerings (and TAB) are what I ended up using. They have condensed out of years of trying to get these under my fingers. Which is not to say they will work for everyone.
