Russians ( Sting) Fingerstyle guitar ( Tab)
Strange coincidence, the day before Russia invaded Ukraine, I played Sting s 1986 albumn the Dream of the Blue Turtles. Hadn t heard it in years I think. That prompted me to arrange Russians, a song he based on a piece by Prokoffief, the lyrics unfortunately have become very relevant for these times again. The arrangement is a week old, so playback is not as perfect yet. No overdubs, the synth sound comes from the Boss SY1. If you want to give it a try, tab can be found here: Small note for the tab readers, the arrangement is not in standard tuning, but Drop D tuning (with a capo on the 3rd fret) Even though it basically is arranged in Am (from a guitarists point of view) the descending bass line suggested the drop D tuning, which works really well here.
