John Dowland - Can she Excuse (P42) Lute

[kithatarimaru]

Beautiful, any tips for some one planning on starting to learn the lute? I have played other instruments, mainly guitar, piano, and clarinet. In that order of most played to least

@kithatarimaru Hello,

Look for Lute Society on the net, for many infos, links, music, makers... Try also Wayne Cripps lute page. Avoid cheap lutes EMS and Taylor as they are not so good and need many settings to be playable. Better to start with a good instrument than to be bored on a bad one...Good luck !

As said in the title : John Dowland (1563 – 1626) Well known lute and songs composer of the Elizabethan England.

A true master. I wish you were close enough by to be my teacher.

I see now who your luthier is. Nice sound. I am also a luthier. I'd like to know what my lutes would sound like with someone like you playing. I think I play too many instruments and have too many distractions to ever be as good as you.

[Luthval]

@dantheartisan

Aren't there a good teacher close to your home ? I'm not teaching any more, and I also play many instruments, but all from the same family : guitars, lutes, theorbo, ukulele, and I also tried diatonic accordion but find it difficult ;-)))

[dantheartisan]

@Luthval I met a lutinist once, he lived some 400 miles from me. I play several culturally different instruments, (see my channel) and have 3 boys, 2 special needs, and make lutes. I play some lute and right now I'm working on the classic picking style. I'm getting close. I watch you pick, and I learn.

Thanks! Dan

Great performance as always. I wish you made a CD. Thanks again for the enjoyment you are giving us.

[meddelhed]

Subscribed. You're too good, you make it look so easy, it makes me want to buy a lute and just start playing, but I'm not good enough for that.

5*

Cheers

[Luthval]

Being good is just a question of work, work, work... so... ;-)

Very beautiful and gently. Softly ornamented and played. You have very pleasant style. Well tuned lute also. I've heard many interpretations, and I thinked that you won't show me anything special, but I was wrong;) Just great;)

[Luthval]

Thanks for listening ;-)

Val

What a beautiful piece! All those playful mode and time changes. Brilliant melody with so many unexpected twists. If only I had a time machine. I could have dinner and a pint of grog with William Shakespeare and John Dowland. Thanks, Val.

[olegrin]

Fantastique! C'est une très belle interprétation très intéressante!

J'aime beaucoup votre ornements.

Oleg

[Luthval]

Thanks Oleg ;-)

In this piece on the original Ms ornementation is indicated, I try to follow quite all signs (but not all really, too much...)

Hey! A tastino! I've been playing around with one. Don't know how I lived without it.

[Luthval]

Yes here you can see it, but there already was one sometimes before, not all the time, and of course it is better with MT than ET... (for used ears) ;-)

Val

[Gealach74]

[Luthval]
