Bravo, Maestro Miolin! I'm sure Bach (who never hesitated to transpose/transcribe/steal his own music for other instruments) would approve! Your instrument is beautiful, sounds better, and your playing is wonderful! Thank you!
Ok so any takers on a bet as to how many strings these obsurd contraptions will end up with?.The masters have been playing with six strings since the year dot. Now we have 8, 10, 12, 13 and I have even seen 20 string 'guitars'. Since the additional strings are for the most part mere bass drones, and having played such guitars am amazed at how childishly simple it all becomes, what exactly is the point we are trying to convey?. Or are we all striving to be Jimmy Page look alikes now.
@gb5uq I'm not sure what your beef is. Bach didn't play guitar. (The guitar of his time had five courses: 10 strings grouped into sets of 2 for each pitch.) He did play baroque lute, and surprise, 13-14 courses is likely how many he had. 13 courses (like this 13 course guitar) would be 13 individual pitches, with all but the top one or two courses using doubled strings. I don't know where this 'year dot' claim comes from. The masters played with fewer and many more than 6 strings or courses.
@tiorbinist That's all well and good. You're referring to Lute. I am being quite specific when I refer to Guitar!. They are entirely different animals. Call me a purist but I find this absurd hybridization of Lute and the traditionally accepted Classical Guitar to be a mockery and and utterly disingenuous misrepresentation of both the Guitarist and Lutenist art. I play both six string and twelve string Guitar and never would I describe myself or my style to be that of a Lutenist.
@gb5uq I did not accuse you of anything, but I note that you are showing ignorance of music history and organology when you claim no connection between guitar and lute. Be that as it may, you speak from your limited tastes, which is fine, but outside your experience and expertise. Why should you sully someone else's wading pool in this manner? I don't understand. The man plays Bach and everything else on this one instrument, which is quite capable of the job. Where's the beef? That he isn't you?
Very enjoyable, never heard a guitar with those lute-bass strings, a revelation now theorbe music is fully playable on guitar (But I don't know if the tuning is the same as on theorbe) Performance is excellent.
@stilklik Looks like the tuning is standard modern 6-string guitar with harp-diapasons, but the seventh string might be a low B. This is essentially theorbo tuning, except the theorbo's top one or two courses were tuned an octave low because of the sounding length of the strings. So this is a transcription to guitar tuning, without octave-transposition of the bass notes.
@tiorbinist OK, watching him play the Tarrega, I can say for certain that the seventh string is D. To avoid having to retune my E string, I'd get a seven string guitar for that, myself! It's worth noting that in England, the standard first addition to a six-string lute was a seventh string tuned one whole tone lower, then an eighth tuned a minor third lower than the seventh (essentially, in guitar terms, a D and B string.) After than, additional basses were just steps.
Wow... that sounded great! Great playing and the instrument has a wonderful resonance that rings... perhaps the fact that the sound hole is underneath those open resonating bass strings makes it have such a nice sustained backing field of harmonics and sound.
Congratulations on another gorgeous interpretation Anders! And such a well-done video - and so many! great work!! To those who might not like the "noise" i say open our ears next time you go to a concert in a city and hear real noise. Or go an organ concert in a great cathedral - there is nothing in this that I would call "noise". Angels, perhaps, not noise.
