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 selections in this book are inspired by tunes from the fusion group Weather Report. Their album. Heavy Weather was and still is one of my favorites. Rather than trying to create solo guitar arrangements of these tunes, I wanted to use the material to build challenging music for classical guitar.
Fingerings and dynamics are merely suggestions.
