Music for Russian 7-String Guitar

...Adapted for a 6-string (with altered tuning, of course!).

This is my arrangement of a technical tour-de-force, quite honestly the most challenging piece I've ever played, an intricate set of variations based on a Russian folk melody. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Well done Daniel! You slightly buzzed ONE note there at the end though.

Thanks for posting your song. Excellent. I know that had to be a tough one but you made it look easy. Beautiful melody also. Best wishes to you!

Hi Steven, thank you!! That note actually was intentional, it is the flamenco buzz that comes from having relatively low tension on this guitar as it is a classical/flamenco hybrid! I like to use it for effect sometime and thought it would add emphasis to the final note before going back into the theme.

So glad to hear you enjoyed this!

Hats off to you, sir. That is what I would call top-notch guitar playing.

You made me feel so unappropriate. Back to practice for me.
Thank you for the excellent playing!!

No need to feel that way! It's all a process.

I'm glad you enjoyed my take on this piece!
