Mick Groocock plays Elizabethan lute music.

[Lainiodurrant]

Mike, you play this so well and it's such a pretty piece. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[kentsuarez]

Lovely, Mike! Beautiful tone, the right tempo IMO for this piece, just the right grace notes, and overall, wonderful musicality. Outstanding!

[gemini16th]

Beautiful- you're up there with John Williams & Julian Bream! Period Lute works sound great on the classical guitar. "Archguitar Renaissance" by Peter Blanchett is a great recording worth a listen.

[dudejustwants2watch]

great job man. I have to learn the same piece during summer for class... this video helped with the rhythm... thank you so much. Although we aren't required to use a capo

[orion777temp]

[mikegroocockguitar]

Thanks newminkey ,glad you like the playing ,regards Mike.

Watched your videos, brilliant guitar playing. Do you teach folk fingerstyle, blue or any other types of acoustic guitar. I live near the Deerplay pub in Weir and I am trying to locate a local fingerstyle guitar tutor. If you don't teach yourself, do you know of anybody who does?

Cheers

[D4rkd3vi1]

[sonicpixie420]

Beautiful!

I'd like to hear more lute songs. Can you recommend a link or a cd??

[mikegroocockguitar]

Try putting the name John Dowland in to a search engine .John Dowland (1563-1626) was a famous lute player and composer from elizabethan england.

[hopeless124]

my mum knows your bro! she used to mess about with him in bacup

[hellprince1]

That was very beautiful, though i have lessons with one of the greatest Portuguese Guitarists, on one of the most complete Musical Style (in terms of acoustic guitar) called Fado. It's Typical Portuguese and it has 2 kinds of guitars... I play the regular Like yours. I can Say it IS indeed very well played and it is hard to get there, but i think i am getting there, so Nice Video! ;)

[mikegroocockguitar]

Thanks hellprince1,Fado sounds interesting I will search for the style on the internet and have a listen,thanks again and keep on playing.

[frfotballer]

very nice i wish i could play like that

[mikegroocockguitar]

It just takes a lot of careful practice I did n't start playing till I was 20.I am teaching some one at the moment who has just started to play and he is 62, but because he plays about 2 hour a day he's doing really well.

[jc941]

Beautifully played, you are a true musician.

[mikegroocockguitar]
