[ersteSaite]

I like your playing, bravo! Sounds interesting with this guitar. Are you playing with nails?

Thanks! Very interesting clip - I am familiar with the tune but never seen or heard it performed on a period guitar. Is the tight hand tachnique that you are using also similar to one that Coste would use or it is just necessity (due to small bout of that instrument) ?

[Luthval]

I'm using a lute right hand technic, even on the romantic guitar. I don't think Coste used a similar technic but older generation guitarist perhaps...

Regards,

Val ;-)

Très joli.

Personnellement j'arpègerais moins les accords.

[Luthval]

C'est vrai c'est un défaut que j'ai, mais bon je ne suis qu'un amateur... ;-)

Amicalement

[Parvati78100]

Ne soyez pas modeste, vous êtes un amateur très éclairé et j'aime beaucoup vous écouter.

[arkavi90]

One of my favorites.

Lovely  !!! :)

Your work here on YT is of a great historical, artistic and educational value, and your talent is superb. There are very few places that one can go to see how the early instruments were played and sounded and you teach by example. Keep up the good work and God Bless you!

[Luthval]

Thanks for the kind words, you know my only ambition is to play the music Ilove and to share it.

And such messages as yours and others are my gratification ;-)

This familiar Coste tune is one I should learn. I think it easily could become one I would play nearly each day. Thanks for playing it.

Tim

[Luthval]

Hello Tim, yes this one is really a pleasure to play...

You bring something to YT that was sadly lacking before you joined and that something can only be described as being pure cultural bliss.

[Luthval]

Thanks for the kind words. But there are others doing so, Erntstolz, Trolabe, Kidneycutter etc...

;-)

[cjwaywell]

It's difficult to transport your personality and passion into the guitar, this is something that no-one can teach you, but you've mastered it. Andre Segovia is another example of this.

[Luthval]

Thanks again, I'm touched...

Val, Wonderful playing and wonderful sounding guitar. What did you pay for that instrument? It sounds great!

[Luthval]

Thanks ;-)

About instrument, see the infos on the top right of this page, there is a link to the luthier who restaure it (he his not so expensive)

This sounds like the melody to a familiar song: "Santa Lucia" or something like that.

[Luthval]

Val

[Luthval]

Best regards
