Sons de carrilhões, arr. by Doug de Vries, 7-str Gtr

João Pernambuco’s ’Sounds of Bells’, a universal favourite in dropped D tuning. A nice way to ease into 7-string guitar playing using low A for the 7th string. Weaving in the odd bass note on the bottom string helps to get familiar with the extra range offered. I’ve added a few twists and turns of my own while borrowing some others from the long list of interpreters of this classic piece, such as: Raphael Rabello, Yamandu Costa, Nonato Luiz, Dilermando Reis.
