I cannot stop watching your videos. Thank you for sharing all of these treasures on your channel! So much knowledge being passed on. We've got a lot to learn from your masterful playing my good sir

[@luteman]

You are so welcome!

[@gamington-h8m]

So, I don't like this one. I never paly it, but the way you do it ....! Wonderful, I never thought this song can sound so good.

[@luteman]

Most kind of you to say so, and many thanks for your comment.

[@laneotaku7855]

What a tone, beautiful

[@luteman]

Thanks very much for your comment. It does take some work to get a good tone from finger tips only, and a different method of attack. The strings you use are also a factor. I also use a'=432 pitch rather than a'=440.

[@sanchitahuja7890]

I just learnt this piece, you played perfectly.

[@luteman]

Thanks very much for your comment. I'm probably wrong, but I couldn't find a version on You tube that was played with finger tips only, no use of nails, which is why I posted my version.

[@sanchitahuja7890]

@@luteman Oh, without nails it actually sounds soothing and calm.

[@pavolsokolik2193]

sounds very well . Have a nice day.

[@gbee8888]

Very nice. Looks a lot harder using only the first two fingers.

[@luteman]

Many thanks for your comment. I use the technique of the baroque lute and theorbo on the guitars I play, and that uses the right hand third finger only when absolutely necessary...mind you, it's still difficult to play, because of the higher string tension.

Cette romance est connue avec le titre éponyme du film "Jeux Interdits" (mélodrame qui se déroule en 1941) Jeux interdits est un film français de René Clément, écrit par Pierre Bost et Jean Aurenche, sorti en 1952. Le film est tiré d'un roman de François Boyer ...Notons que la mélodie originale, Romance anonyme, se trouvait déjà dans le film de Rouben Mamoulian Arènes sanglantes, réalisé onze ans avant le film de René Clément. This romance is known with the eponymous title of the film “Forbidden Games” (melodrama set in 1941) Forbidden Games is a French film by René Clément, written by Pierre Bost and Jean Aurenche, released in 1952. The film is based on a novel by François Boyer ...Note that the original melody, Romance anonyme, was already featured in Rouben Mamoulian's film "Blood and Sand", made eleven years before René Clément's film.

[@luteman]

Thanks for the information. I was aware of the 'Forbidden Games' film, but I think that many people will have first heard this 'Romance' in the Blood and Sand film of 1941. Although Vicente Gomez wrote much of the music used on the sound track, the melody seems to have been around since the 19th century, and no one seems to know who actually composed it, so the Gomez attribution is the arrangement played in the film, not that it was an original composition. I recorded it just to show that it can be played without the use of the ever present fingernails, just an alternative version.

Wonderful! I don't play with nails. Thanks...
