- 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.
- Little Suite No.1 (87)
New release for six string classical guitar. Standard notation & TAB.
Composed from December 2004 to January 2005. With almost another decade since the previous classical guitar composition (Opus 86 Spring Waltz), one would think my interest for that instrument had waned. But there is something about becoming a father and having to change baby diapers instead of composing. Around the time this suite was written our two kids were finally getting a little more independent and some time was freed up for practicing and composing. This little suiteās six sections are based on a single simple theme.
