Lute 101 with Nigel North 

Hahaha same!!

Ditto lol!

2 years later here i am doing the same thing LOL

Same here

SAME

I need not imagine as mine is...just bought it

Ouch

you..tune it

There is a saying that a lute player plays half of the time out of tune and the other half tuning his instrument ;)

Where can I find this kind of sound?

Others that come to mind: Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford Suite Madame Blue by Styx Genesis Ch1 V32 by The Alan Parsons Project Epitaph by King Crimson

Galvin Recital Hall in the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University in Evanston IL. Beautiful sound, beautiful views out over Lake Michigan. In short, an awesome venue.

11 pairs, the highest two courses on the baroque lute are single strings.

Actually F# minor is actually the saddest

Lol Spinal Tap

I wonder if he can play the love ballad "Lick my love pump" on that thing!

Sometimes only the highest string is a single, as is the case with my lute. @@chebghobbi

Did you sort it out yet?

General loss of interest in baroque music and the rise of the modern classical guitar around 1900. A big chunk of early music instruments have been revived around the 1970's . Before that the music of this era was still played with other modern instruments but the "historically informed" practice really took off not that long ago (playing music with the correct instruments and appropriate technique). This record also helped the popularity of early music back in the days : /watch?v=PrJwn2cIdcQ

@ Reddo: When piano was invented and popularized, it took over much of the music which had heretofore been played on harpsichord and lute. Piano projected sound better than either of those instruments, and because it freed both of the player's hands to play music rather than losing one hand - as a guitarist or lutenist must do to fret the notes to be played - it proved to be capable of more complex multipart invention. Piano is the most-complete of instruments in the sense that a skilled pianist can play melody, chords and a bass part. A skilled lutenist can play multi-part music as well, but because of the layout of the instrument and the fact that one hand must fret the notes to be played (unless one is striking an open string or string pair), it isn't always possible to play the melody, chords and a bass part all at once. A real Maestro of the instrument - such as Julian Bream - comes as close as anyone to replicating the fullness and complexity of a piano - but then again, he is Sir Julian Bream, one of the greatest musicians ever to have lived. The piano is a complex instrument whose music takes years to master, but it is forgiving in a way that lute isn't - in terms of things being right in front of you and easy to see and understand. It's a more logical instrument than guitar or lute. Lastly, regardless of instrument or musical style, tastes change and things come into fashion and then fall out of favor for a while until someone comes along and "rediscovers" it. In the case of classical guitar, it was Segovia who brought the instrument from being a folk form to the concert stage and the works of serious composers. In the case of lute, Bream is probably the man who has done the most to repopularize the lute and lute music over his long and illustrious career. Bream also had much to do with the revival of early music in general, works from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

It is much much more likely that "lute" is only the word chosen by the translator to approximate the meaning of the original word that signified an archaic stringed instrument that was probably not known to him (and probably long gone by then).

There are quite a lot of makers active today who could build a Baroque lute for you. Keep in mind that a substantial investment is involved, and if you order, you will be at the bottom of a waiting list that may be several years long. It may be simpler (from the point of view of import duties and taxes) if you choose a builder working in your own country or economic area. Here are some examples -- not necessarily recommendations: USA: www.gamutmusic.com/lutes-page mateus-lutes.com/baroque-lutes.html Canada: www.tomlinsonlutes.com/instr.html www.traviscareylutes.ca/thirteencourse.php Europe: luteshop.co.uk/about/instruments/ luthier.org/laudes.html www.renzosalvador.be/project/luth-baroque/ Please do your own research in detail before ordering. A carrying case is normally a separate purchase.

that’s a lamento bass

@@anisometropie but whats the name of the song

@@user-wm8cc5ym7y He is just improvising on this bass

He explained the tuning of the Baroque lute very clearly in the video -- the fretted courses are ADFadf, with the unfretted basses stepwise down below those. It can be quite disorienting to have two minor thirds, when all your life you have played a tuning with four perfect fourths. There is no similarity in the chord shapes.

@@Libertylute i said it was tunned differently, but i ws wondering if by chance were, there were some similarities. thank you, though for answering. what i was geetting down to, i play guitar, so it would be a big change for me to learn lute.

that was the Oud, the Lute was an evolution of that that just added gut frets

he's spared their lives for now

me too XD =D

Cameron Childress that book brought me here also. Almost finished the name of the wind now... great book!

@@fr4nk45 glad to hear this book series is getting the attention it deserves. It's one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read.

Cameron Childress any news on when the third book is going to be released? I’m dutch so we don’t here that kind of news right away. I’m planning on binch reading the second and third book.

@@fr4nk45 apparently the third book's coming 2020 august, a seven year wait coming to an end edit: Sir Savien also returned on the 7th year...

Lakshya Bakshi great! I’m glad I just now finishing the name of the wind. Seven years is a long time...

@Repel7, I read this 1 year ago. And by the looks of it, you didn’t act up. Well, if this isn’t true, please hook us up!

Glad I wasn’t the inly one that felt this way. Such an amazing sample

do you really use the word 'dude' in your daily life? sad.

Ronette Pulaski gatekeeping language? Sad.

@@GiDD504 keeping all people who actually use the word 'dude' in their daily life outside the gate and locking the door (also, tools with Civil War reenactor beards (why? just nasty), imbeciles wearing flip flops, and dullards wearing backward baseball caps if they're above age eleven). Sad, sad, sad and more sad. Enjoy each other's company outside the gate!

@@BernardProfitendieu I'm tuning to the key of F# A# ♾ duderilionne

And it sounds great.

beepe esix it was the renaissance period dawg

The green tea Dragon he plays only a baroque lute here, and despite mentioning two renaissance lute composers, all the examples he played are from the baroque literature, and his basso continuo improvisation was in the manner of the baroque continuo tradition. Dawg.

@Kota Hyatt He plays a baroque lute specifically here, and music from the baroque period. A renaissance lute generally has fewer pairs of strings.

I feel you mate. I bought a lute because of this... ^^

@@antocnl8345 I would but they are so damn expensive

@@stevew2207 Yeah :/ the cheapest I've found was around 600€ and it's made in china. There is no entry level lute like there is guitars or even eastern ouds.

@@antocnl8345 it annoys me that they are this expensive

@@antocnl8345 All I wanted to do was look into using a cool wacky instrument in my band

Two Face alas that is the very reason I came here to play a bard

Thanks !!!

>bach >keyboard

Bach was an organist and that was his preferred instrument most of the time.

I'm here from that and DnD

I don't know

Est ist sehr wunderbar das ich verstehe dein comment. Est ist recht. Sehr gut Musik.

Really a common sequence. You can hear it in a Chaconne by Purcell (Z.627) , Biber's Passacaglia for solo violin and other pieces that i've forgot the names.

@@Davmm96 I can add one, Cavalli's La Rosinda, Act 3 "Vieni, vieni in questo seno".

Today I found that it actually has a name. It's called "lament bass."

It's baroque tuning (a415), not "modern" tuning. Everything is one semitone lower than a440 tuning.

thank you for the clarification, that explains so much!
