Verily sirrah.

Very clever

Thank You! that's a noble thought...he's one of my music heroes / daniel

Perhaps George is listening. Well done! Makes me want to get a lute.

He would have flipped out I'm 100% certain

George would have bought a lute the day after hearing this.

Yas yes he would have. So beautiful.

Thanks Alice!

Thanks for the comment Chaplin!

@@danbluedeer How many strings? Looks like 15.

@@julier.1902 I think it has 17 strings.

"If a lute-player has lived eighty years, he has surely spent sixty years tuning." - Johann Mattheson, 1713

Then add the fact that he is using gut strings, which are notorious for loosing tune much faster then any other stings...

Thank You! glad you like / daniel

Could not agree more!

Me too - I think KZfaq has me worked out as "music - eclectic", but I'm not sorry - really enjoyed this.

Me too. Amazing

I could see him doing some Led Zeppelin too

Thanks Jason! I appreciate your comment

Jason Doust All of The Beatles music stands the test of being played by a Classical Orchestra.

Exactly right ♥️

Thank You!

I suppose some lute purists were weeping when they clicked on this....

It's the nature of the lute. Semper Dowland semper dolens. Dowland always sad by his own admission.

@@TheCompleteGuitarist It's said that Dowland was actually kind of a happy guy who cultivated a persona that portrayed himself as dour and doleful

@@danbluedeer Probably, melancholoy was the 'cool' mode in those days.

@@danbluedeer While the purists may complain, the act of playing contemporary tunes on such instruments is a good way to spark interest. If people are not interested, the instrument will just "lay in the corner".

Thanks for the comment! / daniel

Thanks John!

Thanks Lohit! keep playing

Thank You!

I've always been afraid someone might hear that....

I heard a rumor that the tritone was once forbidden.

While my Lute gently SINS Tritones are the devil's work gosh darn it

Please explain the technical reference to a tritone.

@@pip5528 Same as what they said about Rock 70 years ago.

Thank You! there are some great pieces from the past

@@danbluedeer I think it's awesome that you engage your audience as well. You just earned yourself a Sub and a fan! Cant wait to see more of your work!

Ye olde arts

If something is really worth saving it will be carried throughout the centuries. Then there are stuff that was very likable but didn't become memorable enough to keep going so people only get to know the history of it instead instead of seeing or hearing it for the first time. Just glad to see & hear a lot of the really old classical instruments have survived time. Very memorable thank you.

Guitars aren’t that new either...

Thanks Plorx! I'll keep at it regardless. Daniel

Thank You Miss Sofija! I appreciate the kind words of encouragement... it keeps me wanting to do more / Daniel

Thanks Hunter! glad you like it / daniel

thanks -- that's nice to hear

Thanks! you're referring to George's initial audition tape for the band? -- I love that stripped down version...

A very late reply, but yes i did ^^

Thanks Duck!

Thanks Eddie! I'll warn you--lutes are addictive....buyer beware. Daniel

Hello! Just looking at the lute and listening to the sounds can be captivating. So also for the guitar. With this piece you have appreciated besides what you have said in your replies, is the arrangement of the piece; like an orchestra. You have done a good job and I think there could be an arranger in you! You could be forgiven for not using the other stings as guitars and lutes have built in spreading of harmony. I can say this because I am as old as the hills. Hope your musical interests compensate for the harsh realities if life! Thanks for the video.

thanks!

One of my D&D games I have a lighting rail hobo goblin bard who plays a baroque lute (it's actually just a broke lute). This makes me happy ^_^

I have a Bard named Procol Harum who has long since retired and runs a tavern. He regularly has music like this playing when the new generation of PCs wander in.

Thanks! it's a great song to play around with. / daniel

Joseph - Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Sebastian! glad you like

I love a good sad song that brings the tears

...now there's an idea

Thanks! glad you like

Thanks Liz! / daniel

this is an 11-course baroque lute---check out wikipedia for tuning

thanks! bad habit of mine

It’s called muscle memory... try practising in the dark.

Thanks Mark!

Thank you! Cheers!

Ain't it the truth?

you sniffed me out... good detective work

I also found this guy's channel after reading about Kvothe playing his Lute in Name of the Wind. Such an incredible story, and this guy is such an incredible musician. I love it when art helps me discover more art.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Joseph --Thanks for listening!

hmmm....i didn't realize that. maybe I'll look into having an operation. / daniel
