The Art of Russian Gypsy Guitar

There are numerous publications on the art of flamenco guitar, and on the so-called "gypsy jazz" (the style of Django Reinhardt) guitar. Associated mainly with the Russian seven-string guitar, the art of the Russian-Romany guitarists is barely known in the west and unfortunately is almost lost in Russia itself. This book is designed to introduce guitarists to this specific gypsy style. Follow along as the masters of Russian Gypsy Guitar lead you through exercises and traditional songs, transcribed for both 6 and 7-string guitars. It includes access to audio files online to help you understand and play each piece with proper timing and inflection.
