Hi. Would there be a possibility to make a score only version of this piece?

I heard he regularly drives his Dolorian at clocktowers.

😂

His ornaments whatever he playes are just so beautiful and perfect. Im pretty sure he did not even heared it back then he played some of this tunes on his own, I would like to hear some old tunes from Turlough O'Carolan from him. Even if this was harpmusic im sure that it will be played from heaven if he gets his hand on this beautiful irish melodys 🥰

He's probably Sir John Dowland himself mixing in amongst us mere mortals under an alias.

The lute still kinda lives on through the guitar if you think about it.

It evolved it still lives in guitar in soo many ways

@thereisnochoiceleft well yes but I think with time music evolved and so did the instruments. Guitars are liked more so they are cheap and where I live no one even knows what lute it and is impossible to find

@@K-Viz Its so much sweeter of a sound than a guitar, in my mind. Lutes should have a revival. Banjos are also popular these days, but they sound twangier and harsher than a lute. So much music today is so loud and about making noise.

Unfortunately culture has fallen out of stye...

Thanks, Marco!

I just realized this is the solo lute version of Fall My Tears.

Sorry to be pedantic but wouldn’t it be a baroque tavern?

@@saoirsecameron Here comes a 2nd pedantic person: it would actually be a renaissance tavern, my good sir! lol

@@mikemodano863 a 3rd one: he's not playing with a right hand thumb under technique which was in use during the renaissance. Quite strange 🤔

​@@kraftwerk974 He is, watch him do the fast movements between chords.

The Theorbo is even more godlike. Hearing the lutenist hit those open bass strings gives a feeling of power unlike anything else except for when I pull the Bourdon stop on the pipe organ.

Unknown fact: Vampires can, as shown in that timestamp, literally see the soundwaves float in front of them.

Brandon where is your twin brother 🤔🤔🤔

How can it be unattainable if he attained it brah

​@@solusflexus He's hundreds of years of practice ahead of us atm

@@Parmetheus Time isn't real

Totally on topic, dude! Playing music is the next level of enjoying music, it makes you enjoy performers like Brandon even more. I have never met a musician who wouldn’t encourage and try to inspire other players, whatever their level.

Well, you don’t have to quit your job or anything. Just get the instrument you can afford (did you hear the guitar version? you can get a guitar for almost nothing these days) and put in the time you can spare. Sure, to become a professional you need to spend endless hours, but you can enjoy playing music from a very basic level. The start may be frustrating, but let me tell you a secret: the frustration stays, you will always want to be better. But the joy is there from the beginning and it also stays, especially once you start playing with other people.

@@Veronica_needssleep Well, thanks for taking my comment way too seriously by not getting the humour behind it and also telling a really old "secret", I guess. I just wanted to celebrate Brandon's performance. Nothing more. Nothing less. I'm a musician myself but not at all familiar with playing the lute, which is quite a delicate instrument to learn and let alone master. That's all. If I started to learn another instrument besides working, there would be zero progress in that (given the time I want to spend on my other instruments, too). It's nothing new that to become a real professional in whatever there is you need to really focus on that (better still, from as early as possible) which I just can't, because I don't have 72 hours a day - also a life, obligations and bills to pay (besides, I guess a lot of other people also can't do that just because, like me, they lack confidence in their skill or they, just never had the opportunity to earn their living with music (which is hard enough - even for the masters - these days). Some people have this lucky opportunity, some don't. And my heart is full of joy for those who can not just play but live through music. But yes, I do agree that the joy of playing music always overshadows the frustration. Just like enjoying others play. (But I personally don't enjoy commenting strangers commenting comments by other strangers they don't even know.)

I also play the 8-course Renaissance lute (alas, the level is not where I want it to be...) but if you want to get better I think that Pascale Boquet's method (in French, but not really a problem as it's more a progression of pieces than an in-depth method) Méthode de Luth Renaissance, by Pascale Boquet. Paris, 1985. 224 pages. Price : 30 € / 35 € (FR + 5 €) (EU + 9 €) - you can get that at the Societé francaise de luth here www.sf-luth.org/eng/?Musical_Publications/Le_Secret_des_Muses

Also Sarge's page is wonderful. I recommend Arto Wikla too if you have theorbo or baroque lute envy but for lack of funds would like to play baroque pieces on your 8-course instrument.

@@helendecruz1947 Thank you for the directions! I'll look into the materials. The french book looks very interesting. The lute is such a mesmerising instrument, and with such a wealth of music written for it, it feels like going on an adventure. :)

Er, ditto, from first to last word! I also have an 8-course renaissance lute, albeit mine is currently and to my shame sitting in the roof for someone to play it. I can play it only in very pre-mediocre sort of way, Sarge Gerbode's lute page -- yes and also inspired by this magnificent performance to ask the same question of Brandon. I wonder how many more of us there are in hiding!

@@helendecruz1947 And thank you from me too, Helen!

would you let him drink your blood though?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also, insomniac

Maybe he’s good at this genre because he was alive during that time…

That's not apathy but rather its opposite

Thanks, Samuel! :)

Thanks so much, Eugenie!

Oh I had no idea! It wasn't on purpose 😆

I'm glad to hear someone else likes it. Everyone plays on the rose these days even in Baroque music strangely. The basses are Aquila loaded and they sound great.

@@imacat8476 Oh damn. Any info on what lawsuit exactly they're in? Yes I have an email but let me set up a trash-mail quickly through which I can give you my real one. May I assume you want to share your contact?

You could always buy a Roosebeck, they are good for entry level and decently cheap. Good enough for learning and for small recitals, but definitely not pro-level.

@@cuttlefishrampant5241 I'll have a look, thank you!

@@imacat8476 Thank you very much, I'll send you an email very soon. Edit: Couldn't send you an email. The recipient's address was rejected.

@@imacat8476 Maybe a typo?

Dude. Right?

You can get a perfectly good 8 course lute for less than a $1000. That's not that bad for an instrument.

@@juuse94 That's thrice what a student guitar costs.
