Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Eric Phillips Lol, Eric! If I'm an encyclopedia, I'm missing a lot of volumes! But I do enjoy learning about the repertoire I encounter. (And it's surprising how much can be gleaned from CD…

Re: Interactive Masterclass with Emmanuel Sowicz
Is the class really at 12 p.m. EST? The normal start time in the past has been 2 p.m. EST. Just wondering. Thanks!

Re: I just played a concert! What's next?
For amateur guitarists, 'performing' generally means participating in a community concert, or playing at a local 'open mike'. Typically, we get to play one or two short pieces.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Dale Here's the original for anyone interested. (Not so easy to read - the top line corresponds to the lowest course of the baroque guitar, and the chord symbols refer to shape, not function.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Eric Phillips I suspect you are right in thinking that the name refers to a woman of the town of Guastalla. I doubt it is referring to a particular individual.…

@Jack Stewart Well, Jack, he did play with a 'band of gypsies'. What could be more Spanish than that?

@Eric Phillips Why don't you guys do it together? One of you can take the soloist's part, the other can fill in for the orchestra ...😎

Re: Lessons and Repertoire for "Exploring Music from Spain" 🏇
@Eric Phillips Eric, you could certainly manage the "Tiento Antiguo'. Not easy to play as well as Ms. Muraji of course (link below) but definitely within your reach.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Eric Phillips It can get worse than that. The baroque lute in its final form had thirteen courses. The archlute, used mostly in Italy, had fourteen, as did the standard theorbo.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Eric Phillips I know that feeling of not knowing where the strings are, Eric. Lately, I've been learning to play an eleven-course (baroque) lute, and I feel I need two sets of eyes,…

@Olli I know of Renatus by name, but I've never seen one his instruments. It looks very nice! I have a couple of lutes made by Lauri Niskanen in Finland.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros 💃
@Olli For me, Olli, the lute and the guitar have distinct tonal characteristics; in the right hands, either can produce a gorgeous sound. (And your are quite right that Eric does well with both!…
