Song About a Friend

Song by Visotsky Vladimir from a Russian movie.. It's a simple tune, but I suspect in more competent hands it could invoke an appealing melancholy charm. The arrangement is by Igor Varfolomeev.

@xthelonedrowx I have converted this one piece to tablature. If you leave your email address I'll send it to you. I might as well upload it to my web page too. No one seems to read standard notation anymore.

[xthelonedrowx]

sorry but about the tam mister... the web page does not works it wont let me acces.

but thank you!

[oldwhtman]

@xthelonedrowx I think it's temporarily down. It doesn't work for me either ... or else Igor has shutdown his web site. I'll check later.

[xthelonedrowx]

can you give tabs? please XD

[oldwhtman]

@xthelonedrowx Can you read standard notation? There is a link to the sheet music in the text below the video. Download the book titled "Issue1". It's the first song in the book.

well played, thank you

@Depalla i believe its Vladimir Visotsky but he is considered much more than a national hero (even today) so it could be accepted as folk though it isn't officially i think.

@oldwhtman its about a friend. the main idea here is that a friend is tested on how much he will risk for your friendship and it's told through the idea that if your friend is becoming so-so, take him to the mountains and is he cowards out, ppl like those are not for the mounts and they shouldn't be sung about.

but then the author says that if he keeps going with you likewise to a battle, trust him like yourself.
