Title: Orchid (Everlasting Summer) [Orchid (Бесконечное лето)]
Composed by: M. Malkov (Between August and December) [М. Мальков]
Arranged and tabulated by: A. Zadorin [А. Задорин]
2019
The original track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEgqQzago3U
(The attached ZIP-file contains this tablature, a sheet music, and the GNU LilyPond
source file for the sheet music.)
The theme creates an atmosphere of existential horror.
Tuning: DADGBE (drop D)
The current tablature is playable on an acoustic western guitar without a cutaway
(the body begins at fret XIV) but may be problematic for a classical guitar
(the body begins at fret XII).
