@Blaise Laflamme Such a wonderful performance, Blaise! What a pity this beautiful music isn't better known outside of Quebec! (Toujours les 'deux solitudes'!?) We are fortunate, though,…

@ferran Wow, 68 cm! I've got a 62 cm Frei, and sometimes I find that a bit much to handle! But yours certainly has superior resonance. (Of course, it's also made by an exceptional luthier!…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags!
@Steve Price Very nice, Steve! Such 'jazz' arrangements of the old standards really work well on nylon strings. And I'm impressed that you've learned it the 'old-fashioned' way. Bravo!

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge
@ferran Very nice, Ferran! That's a beautiful looking (and sounding) lute you have. Six courses in E is unusual these days, but probably makes good sense, especially for guitarists!…

@Eric Phillips Frankly, I thought his discussion of chicken pickin' was a bit weak, and he hardly even mentions string bends. And then, to top it off, he just glosses over pedal boards like they…

@bryan. burns2011 That's a beautiful arrangement and performance, Bryan, as is the video. The setting of the prelude in C major gives it a fresh character for those of us used to the 'standard'…

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge
@John armato Lutes, yes; theorbos no - they're too big, and liable to make guitarists feel inadequate ... Just kidding! Of course, period instruments are not only allowed, they're encouraged! (By me,…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags!
@Barney It has generally been assumed that lutes and vihuelas were always tuned in 'G'. And indeed, they often were, but there was no standardization. Most historical method books advise that the…

@Bruno Calixto This is coming along well, Bruno! I always struggle with that stretch up to the 'B' at the seventh fret in this section - you seem to be getting it quite nicely!

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags!
@Barney Beautiful tone and fluency, Barney. The capo is not really necessary - 16th century vihuelas came in a variety of pitches, including E, like the modern guitar.
