Is a baroque guitar tuned differently than a vihuela or lute?

Yes. Octave courses aside, baroque guitar is tuned like the modern guitar, but without the low E.

Oh, are those your pink jogging shorts? If so, sorry I said anything.



Wait.... surely you're not suggesting that putting multiple Fragile warnings on a shipping package will not help insure its safe delivery, that delivery persons tend to ignore this directive? What a shocking revelation that would be!

Yes, but your statement about the National Gallery was wrong.

Since it bothers you so much, I’ve fixed it for ya.

As it happens I recently got both of those Frank Koonce books (i.e. baroque guitar, and vihuela), it’s interesting stuff to play on classical guitar. I already had a few of these pieces scattered about in various books, but it’s handy to get them all in a couple of collections. Also Koonce has detailed chapters on interpretation, ornaments, etc. which are very useful.

If you want the original tablature, the collected works of all the composers in his baroque guitar book (Sanz, de Murcia, Guerau and Santa Cruz) can be found in facsimile form on the IMSLP website.

Hearing a piece on the baroque guitar after growing up with it on modern guitar is like hearing it for the first time for me

This one is shredding! I love his mad little (improved?) prelude.

The campanelas sounds so cool on these early guitars

I've always wondered about getting a five course guitar with movable frets, would it be the ideal instrument for my five finger right hand picking technique.

If it was mine I’d probably spend more time moving the frets than actually playing something.

Well whatever that instrument is called, and believe me, I don't care, it looks better than the "professional" balalaika I got from Ukraine about 15 years ago.

I was gonna say this slightly defective instrument is cheap - until I saw their shipping quote, which is about 6 times higher than the item price.
