However, exceptions are possible, both in the form of complication (for example, in compositions where several guitars have the same high complication), and simplification (for example, in the classical guitar nominally related to the educational repertoire). The parts of other guitars are less difficult and can be played by any qualified guitar player. The most difficult part usually falls on first guitar (this happens, most often, due to the appearance of virtuosic monophonic passages). I hope I will be able to realize them.Īrrangements for guitar ensembles have a medium or higher level of difficulty. Here’s where collaborative creativity in the form of guitar ensembles goes to the aid, providing, on the one hand, the audience (and themselves) with the possibility to enjoy the excellent guitar sound, and, on the other hand, express melody and rhythm of the original composition without any distortion. And even five fingers are sometimes not sufficient to express everything the author intends, especially if we are talking about symphonic compositions. Unfortunately, an arranger has only five fingers on each hand with which to play the guitar, as do the guitarists who play his arrangements.
I cannot give endless examples, but take my word for it: if an arranger could do that, he would. The result would only vaguely resemble the original composition. This is because an arranger cannot express all features (polyphony and rhythm) of the original composition using only one single guitar.
However, there are many compositions that were originally recorded specifically for ensembles and cannot be performed by one guitar to achieve the desired effect.
