When I bought my first seven string guitar a few years ago, I was expecting it to be a smooth graduation from six to seven strings. It took a few weeks to become able to actually just ignore that extra string and play regular six string guitar music. Slowly I started incorporating some of the lower notes, but for a long time it felt more like 6+1 strings. Jazz shell voicings were the next big step. Walking bass lines. Reading cello music at least gave some workout for that extra low string. But somehow I couldn’t find much music specifically written for seven string guitar ? music that requires that low B string.

The three waltzes were inspired by some of my favorite guitar pieces of paraguayan composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré.
