Original Repertoire for the modern 10-String Guitar

Original Compositions for 10-string guitar

 
 
 
The compositions listed here have been written specifically for the modern/Yepes 10-string guitar and its standard string setup. Note, however, that the use of the instrument is not limited to this original repertoire. The instrument has been designed to function also as a six- and seven-string guitar, excluding almost none of the guitar's traditional repertoire. Also, no transcriptions are listed here, with the exception of those works adapted for 10-string guitar by their composers.
