The name of Mikhail Vysotsky (1791 - 1837) always mentiones together with another 'sevener' Andrey Sykhra (1773 -1850) - the supposed inventor of russian 7 string guitar.

Here are four parts from the set of 24 preludes by Vysotsky. Whyle recording this music I did my best in order to make 6string guitar sound like 7string. From technical point of view it requires lots of slures and appropriate use of left hand thumb - this particular technique was standart for both classical 6string guitar and russian 7 string one, so don't get confused when see me playing this way:) Visit my website: http://www.baranovguitar.com/
