Welcome
to ‘The Scottish Guitar’
The book has 74 pages, and there are 40 mp3 files.
It is the sum of many years researching
and performing Scottish lute, cittern and guitar music.
The key thing is the performances.
There is a continuity of style and technique
going back nearly 1,000 years, which I have brought to the modern
nylon and steel-strung guitar.
As I say in the Introduction, this is more
Scottish than 'Celtic'. |

Russian
7-stringed guitar
It is the most mysterious musical instrument concerning the history.
It is a lot of disputes, but anybody plainly cannot explain two hundred
year's history of a seven-stringed guitar. Who was the founder of
this instrument?, sources of occurrence?, etc.
We hope, that this page will explain much and will promote revival
of this remarkable musical instrument.
On this page you will find a vast collection of tutorials, manuals and notes for seven-string guitar (Free Download). |

The oldest compositions were intended
for the 6-string lute. To the end of the 16-th century the 7-th
string was added and then the strings number was increased.

Any

along which the strings are stretched can be believed

lute with
a long neck
