This first collection of Greek Demotic Song melodies has been arranged for classical guitar and it contains 297 songs. It will be published in 18 volumes of 16 songs per volume, apart from volumes 17 and 18 containing respectively 21 and 19 melodies. The publication follows the alphabetical order of the song titles and it is based on the Greek Alphabet. The term "demotic" is used with referring to the rural musical tradition of Greece in order to differentiate it from urban traditions referred to as "Laiko" and/or "Rebetiko" song tradition. All three terms in fact refer to popular music either by anonymous or eponymous creators.
All pieces are of an advanced intermediate level and each volume contains the same pieces twice, with and without tabs and various internal and external navigational links and can be viewed and/or printed as one or two books according to user's needs.

This is the seventh volume of an extensive collection of folk songs arranged for the classical guitar mostly in two-part counterpoint. The arrangements are of moderate difficulty and the aims of this publication are to familiarise, entertain and educate guitarists (and other musicians) with a melodic repertoire of lasting aesthetic value, under the light of contrapuntal treatment. The thirty five volumes of this collection can certainly be printed on paper if so desired and there are a few pages in each volume, either blank or with photographs of various musicians, which can be inserted at will in any place for the correct ordering of left and right hand pages so that page turns can be avoided. The principle of avoiding page turns has been maintained in all volumes, but this edition is also designed with mobile electronic devices in mind such as tablets etc, using the environment and facilities of a score reading application, towards a paperless world, at least in music. Therefore the size of the staves is bigger than usual for ease of reading on a small screen but not big enough to exceed the limit of a two-page view. Active internal links for navigating from thematic indexes to particular songs and back to indexes have been added, and also external internet links to sites that give further information for the 945 songs of this first collection for classical guitar.
