42 years ago I bought a Cox 8-course lute kit and Diana Poulton's book of Dowland's complete works. This was one of the first pieces I practiced. My ill-constructed lute sounded awful and my guitar nails made it worse. THIS is how to play this piece properly. Bravo, sir!

11:28 He does see it through his glasses 🤓, why would he wear them using the mask there 😂😂😂 15:11 This part reminds me why you need to go play the guitar when buying to determine it's *playability* and guitars HAVE TO be played regularly for their woods to develop correctly.

Theres bias as your using the sense of touch of the feel of the guitar.. you should be blindfold whilst the other plays it. Using only your ears to determine. Sound only. 1 sense not 2. To eliminate bias.

Please do Mr. John Dowland's the right honourable Robert earl of essex's galliard. If possible on guitar. I'm learning it right now and it would be a great way to see the interpretation and to understand the music better.

Hey, you asked if I'm a fan of lute and I couldn't answer because I was starstruck, sorry (Obviously because there were too many lutes in the room ). The answer is I am a lute fan yes. Your videos on how to read lute tab and play this song on guitar were the catalyst that caused me to finally get into playing classical guitar. Thank you, Brandon!!

@maHaTma8613 сағат бұрын
@@brandonacker Thanks for the response i will try it out. Im still learning about the temperaments, as i tried 1/4 meantone with all frets arranged pieces in Aminor like Dowlands midnight sounded abit off to me. My ears still enjoy it alot as i experiment with temperaments and finetune the frets here and there. The biggest shock is always i if grab my guitar again then i realize how out of tune equal temperament is 😄
@brandonacker13 сағат бұрын
Yes those temperaments spoil you for equal haha You do have to be careful with choosing your temperament based on the keys you are playing in. 1/4 comma won't work in A minor if you have a high 1st and 3rd fret (which is normally what you do). You have to add tastini or move the frets to work in that key. Or you can go to something less harsh like 1/6 or even 1/8 comma :)
@maHaTma8612 сағат бұрын
@@brandonacker Yes indeed playing my guitar without tastini feels so wrong now haha and my only classicalguitar will have them within the next days. I dont know alot about musictheory, just another selftaught guitarist in year 4 and renaissance lute in 6. month now. 1/4 meantone sounds best for pieces in C D and prob E for my ears and i will try out 1/6 and 1/8 Meantone right now. Thanks for your inspiring beeing and your art :)

Brandon, just to give you (finally) a word of appreciation - as I moved from classical piano to harpsichord, getting more and more "in love" with baroque and renaissance music, whilst being a lousy guitar player, this video gave me such a joy to master the lute tablature in 10 minutes (I secretly started to admire lute players). Really a moment of joy to have learned a new thing, thanks to you. Your videos are truly a joy, for its reassuring and calm fashion you explain/shoe all necessary aspect of guitar (or lute) playing. Thank you again
