Stare Ljubavi (Delo Jusic) arr. A Forrest
Mysterious Barricades (Francois Couperin) arr. A Forrest
Note: the Requinto part can be played as written on a standard guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. Although the Bass part is written in the bass clef, note-wise it’s equivalent to the bass line of guitar part 3 (treble clef), but one octave lower.
I look forward to seeing you on February 4th at the upcoming Meeting (more details about the meeting below)
