Re: Sor Op.26 Variations (Intro thru 3rd variation) This is great, Jack! It gets better each time I hear it. Still some flubs, but overall very musical. I really love that slow variation!

Re: Eric's Lute Corner @Jack Stewart Yes, I probably should not have put four pieces like that all back to back. Most people would glaze over after ten seconds, so you did well.…

Re: Eric's Lute Corner @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. When I was in college, the Renaissance was definitely my favorite period to play. My Noad “Renaissance Guitar” book was so worn it practically disintegrated until my wife…

Re: Eric's Lute Corner Christ ist Erstanden This is from a German chorale intabulated for the lute by Hans Judenkönig circa 1515. It's a very simple melody with very sparse harmonic accompaniment.…

Eric's Lute Corner
I have been finding myself playing my lute a bit more recently, and so I thought I'd create a place to post some of what I'm playing.

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro @Wai That was great, Wai! It's like three little bursts of energy in just 30 seconds. Well played. I don't know the music at all, but it sounded quite difficult to play.
