This book includes twenty-six guitar arrangements that I have been working on in recent years. The repertoire represents a wide range of the most important Israeli composers, spanning the last thirty years: musicians such as Alexander (Sasha) Argov, Neomi Shemer, Matti Caspi, Yoni Rechter, Nahum Hayman, Shlomo Gronich, and others whose work has mapped out my musical journey.
The project resulted from my strong desire to learn to play the songs that inspired me during my own formative years; songs that I consider to form a core element in the Israeli song repertoire. The lack of an appropriate guide compelled me to try to arrange the songs myself, and that is how a long and fascinating journey began. During that journey I grew a lot as a guitar player and as an arranger. I also arrived at the decision to produce a book that might allow me to share that experience with other guitar players, within and outside Israel, who wish to be able to play these timeless songs.
