Re: Eric's Lute Corner @Eric Phillips For me at least, once I got the hang of it, thumb-inside technique felt more comfortable (‘natural (?)) than standard classical guitar technique.…

Re: Week 4: Spain in 19th ! @Eric Phillips That’s interesting, Eric. And it’s curious that when Spain’s luthiers did finally start producing single strung guitars, they introduced a number of important innovations.…
