Italian Pavan - (lute)

[TheRichie213]

I love it!!!!!!!

[kkiiaarraa]

BRAVOOOO!!!! *applause*

[thehertkiser]

amazing, you did an excellent job. : )

[SuperNotSerious]

Impressive work. Is that an 8-course or a 7-course? I can't see with the vid quality as is.

[mandohiker]

wunderbar! that really is a lovely piece... and your playing certainly made it all the better... who made you lute? i've wanted to learn lute for a while, i just can't find one...

[skirk2345]

always wanted to play the lute......one day maybe, for the time being I'll stick with my electric guitar. Nice song, awesomely played dude !!

[shamino1000]

Pavana alla venetiana!

[frenk1973]

Like! A thousand times like!

[NightshadeForests]

Uno strumento raffinato, dal suono superbo. I miei complimenti.

[igotsmoshedify]

so what is the difference between a baroque lute and a renaissance lute? (besides the amount of strings used to play the two instruments) Please explain to me!!

[SerathGodOfRock]

@igotsmoshedify ok , i'm just guessing but, i think the baroque lute has more deep sound, and i think ypu would use a thumb pick as well.

[igotsmoshedify]

@SerathGodOfRock thanks. helped a little :D

[SerathGodOfRock]

@igotsmoshedify no problem.

[TheRichie213]

Are you using a 6-course or what? You are so good!!!!

[weirdgeordie]

Hey - I loved your lute lessons,

Any chance of you doing a tablature for this? I would love to learn to play it!!

Thanks!

[shamino1000]

@weirdgeordie I have the tablature, pm me.

[Mga2k9]

GREAT

[Mod74]

That was great!

[markskatz]

I've been working on this song for about 2 weeks now and boy is it difficult, I've pieced together a good portion of the song, but to be able to play as quickly and as consistently as you...I can't imagine how much practice that will take hehe. However I shall strive, with your playing ability as the final prize!

[luteplayer80]

@markskatz thank you very much! :)

[Japanorama]

This is almost identical to the Arabic instrument called Oud! cool!

[frenk1973]

Outstanding! 

[EmmeeLog]

Well done! 

[Ponce546]

se mi imparo a suonare la chitarra saprò suonare anche questo splendido strumento?

[jesse5852]

How did you learn?

[matdirjish]

Excellent performance! It is highly acceptable and expected to play Pavanes and other ancient dance forms faster than they would have been played in their day. Today, older music will have to please the ear first and maybe the foot later. Once again, a wonderful rendition, played effortlessly. Thank you.

[DikranMarsupial]

My favourite lute clip on youtube, played with a "brio" that really suits the piece. I recently started learning to play the lute and I hope to be able to play this one day!

[dequadix]

Bravo! Ottima espressività e tecnica!

[Mr98giuliano]

can you send me the lute tablature please? thank you a lot.

p.s: BRAVOOOOOOO

[DikranMarsupial]

@Mr98giuliano You can download the tablature from Sarge Gerbode's brilliant lute tab repository, I tried to put a link in, but youtube doesn't seem to allow that. Search for "Sarge Gerbode" on google, the first link will probably be the tab site and you will find what you are looking for (and much more!). I think this is the first version of the pavana alla venitiana, which is number 11 in the original manuscript, but I could easily be wrong.

[markskatz]

@DikranMarsupial I followed your directions to the Sarge Gerbode's site, however I was not able to find the said tablature for pavana alla venitiana, could you possibly help me out a little more?

[Mr98giuliano]

@DikranMarsupial ok, thank you very much!!!!

[Spoc1012]

I want a lute so badly. I cant find one any where.

[whatchamacallitful]

beautiful. thank you for sharing.

[PrinceVancrux]

Very nice! To be honest, I had never heard of a lute before until I played Morrowind.

I searched it here out of curiosity.

[MountainQueen]

are the lute strings hard on the fingers... because I dont like the feeling of guitar strings...

[512Airsoft]

I want to learn the lute soo bad.....Too expensive though :(

[Quiznoss]

sounds great, im glad people are keeping this alive

[Sunaminator]

Coool! Middle-aged feeling!  :)

[Silveryback]

Beautiful! Very nice!

[uberbigbread]

you should be a bard and sing about tales of some adventure or something!

[hipeeps549]

I've heard of a lute but never actually heard one, it sounds pretty cool!

[uyenst]

It looks like my mandolin, I wonder if I can play it with my mandolin, too? Maybe not :(

[PeterVonZahnd]

How many courses are there on this one ? Eight, I should say, but I may be wrong.

Very nice playing.

[JustinDarden]

you should try out for america's got talent or somethin this other deuche bag was on there with a lute and he sucked you would win like river dance meets lute band and other lute like instruments

[Aydee2020]

hey are there tabs for this

[Xardkorum]

Really cool. For dance perfect

[TheMatt455]

you are amazing wtf

[cacawate1]

so badass!

[ninjaguitar97]

awesome! :)

[zbaby82]

Cool! Lutes have a magical sound.

[ryanstegman10]

good player nothing like punk rock though

[Floyd123able]

Very musically played!

[Zenophage]

He looks like Serj Tankian

[GroundedSaugage]

@Zenophage holy crap ur right!

[1972jewish]

too fast for being a pavana, isnt?

[luteplayer80]

@1972jewish If you can dance a pavana properly and try to dance it, you'll realize it's played ad the right speed. It's not fast, it's that divisions are fast as hell :)

[danielkirk1]

@1972jewish too Jewish for dance instruction? just kidding, shalom to you.

[purplehaze216]

ew a jew

[Elstir12]

Non ci capisco molto di liuti: come mai questo ha il manico così stretto? In genere hanno la tastiera decisamente più larga...

[luteplayer80]

@Elstir12 il modello di liuto che vedi è a 6 cori (1 coro = 2 corde); i modelli con più cori hanno, ovviamente, un manico molto più largo. ciao ;)

[markskatz]

I picked up the lute because of you! Just learned greensleeves, however the sound is bad, I need to work on technique

[luteplayer80]

@markskatz Thank you, your comment fills me with joy; I any little I can do by fooling around here, I am the happiest person in the world. Send me a video of you playing greensleeves!

[dudemannelson]

pritty

[Bahaiprayer]

Thats Amazing

[quazamodus]

Very Sweet :-D

[jorsitoh]

Nice

[jeanmolin55]

MAGNIFICO !!!

5 *****

e grazie per il post

e grazie a quella speciale Francesina che mi segnala sempre questi tesori!

Grazie Fan!!!

[nikolaimedtner]

Loved it!

[zemmo90]

john petrucci playing lute

[seenherdressedinblue]

@zemmo90 Can't be. John Petrucci only plays chromatic scales.

[hermx0]

What a lovely piece!

---Yes, we like it! :))))))

[Temaile]

Oh the lute is such a beautiful instrument...

[saviorsdisciple]

I had to watch this one twice. Brilliant.

[pyramidion]

My favorite video on youtube.

[frenk1973]

@pyramidion Me too! I keep watching this... over and over...

[frenk1973]

@pyramidion me too!

[Qazic12]

Man, did the beatles use these at all, or what about pink floyd?

[seenherdressedinblue]

@Qazic12 I saw a pic of Rick Wright holding a dulcimer, but that's as close as it gets. If you want to hear a lute played by a rock band, check out Focus.

[GetBackJack123]

Thank you. You have inspired me to, in the future after I have learned more classical and progressed as a guitarist, I take up the lute.

[Areian79]

oh! how very skillful!

[divustitus]

Magnificent instrument a la the guitar & harp.

[saudadedefados]

que beleza!

[GetBackJack123]

That was amazing.

[kaidaigoji]

I love when people play dances so that you could actually dance to them - wonderful rhythmic sense.

[jlbianval]

Increible, fantástico.

[DasLaken]

You played with so much sense rhythmic structures and the harmonics as well, it felt just like reading this piece and understanding it at first sight. Thank you.

[Scarlatti2007]

Nice! Yea, I can dance to that pavane!

[Zprtav]

Brava!

[dearodear]

very lively, bravo !

[emperadordelaluna]

muy bien felicidades desde Mèxico, q bien tocas el laud.

[penelo1185]

i love this,  i wish it were longer

[karahan246]

Great tune and nice performance.

Thank you

[frozenpeachie]

Wow that is really amazing:D

[DsilverF]

0:46 0:52 is my faverite part!

[marmotte91745]

All I can say is WONDERFUL!

[ZoieRag]

Nice music, but I don't think it really sounds like a lute.

[Jaminator12]

very nice!

[StopTheMoti0n]

wow!! i want lute so much!! i can't find the info though to help me learn of it.

what do YOU consider the "standard" tuning? i know they have many

how cheap do they come?

how many courses should a beginner get?(not new to strings or frets, just lute)

how many courses is yours?

"movable" frets sends chills down my spine. are there lutes with fixed frets?

if not would i be able to set the frets myself? or would i have to take it to a professional?

thanks for considering!

[robicool]

hey, i just purchased a lute from the Early Music Shop in the UK, which I'm sure you could get shipped to the US. It was about £500...so what like $900? It's an 8 course, but really you only need to bother with the first 6 courses, (tuned like a guitar, wich a capo on the 3rd fret and the third string dropped down a semitone) the two basses are just for resonance and dont add any difficulty really.

[robicool]

... you can change how you tune the bass strings to suit the piece you're playing. The frets don't really move unless you force them, I put little pencil marks on the neck so if they do move, they can be moved back to the right place easily. Hope thats enough info for you, PM me if you want to know more, I'd be happy to help!

[Achbar]

Very nice, i would love to learn to play Lute

[marsvltor2]

Gorgeous!

[gagiandjeo]

Beautiful!

[violettesmile]

Gorgeous instrument and playing!

JM

[skadborg]

Very nice

[Sundialonthejob]

There should be six stars for videos like this.

There is no such thing as enough Italian Renaissance music.

[starchamberS]

Awesome

[whiteowlonfire]

is that a cat opening up the lute case? I enjoyed this btw.

[MerltheWizard]

Yeah, the cat is also playing it while he mimes ;) No seriously, well done to the player, that's really good!!

[alvaritooooooooo]

Wow! You play very well, very clean! Niice instrument too

[Ametore]

wow very nice!

[JFman00]

Such clean runs! Very nice.

[bremehn]

I'd pay several hundred dollars a lesson to take lute lessons from you.

[animagreed]

@bremehn wow i was thinking the exact same thing

[ZijnErNogNamenOver]

@bremehn

Money much? 

[gumbooze]

[hibbris]

[bremehn]

wow... just wow

[Mod74]

Awesome! Post more videos!

[godsloved3]

is your name mr. peto? because you look almost exactly like my teacher. Like goatee and all.

[killergirls]

lovely!

[lucam66]

Very good. Curious to know who is the lute maker. Is the lute based on the Venice Magno dieffopruchar, isn't it?

[MINIDRAG33]

Very Nice :)

[Frostyfan44]

oh i love lutes....but i can't afford one :/ will have to be satisfied with my guitar for the tiem being

[dragun39]

[nessais]

[likwidkarma]

[williestra]

[van1976]

--Van

[alincielo]

Che meraviglia...chiudo gli occhi e sono a Palazzo Te 500 anni fa...

[timmyturner05]

How does a lute compare to a guitar? I have trouble with a guitar =/

[Matrite]

Is that a Michael Schreiner 6-course?

I like your right hand.

[luteplayer80]

No. My right hand thanks you

[tallswede68]

nice

[butifarra61]

the oud sound is sharper?

[djypsydjazz]

Does this lute's volume compare to the classical guitar? I own an oud but I do not own a lute.

[dorotea26]

I'm waiting for more your videos...Bravo maestro !!!

[Vanquard5150]

Wow Paul O'Dette plays this too

[DILMADEOLIVERA]

bellisimo, bravo maestro!

[luteplayer80]

Ninguem è Maestro. Obrigado! :)

[jjk717]

Beautiful left hand work - well done!

[tonyyyyguitar]

I love Dalza - and a nice lively interpretation .Bravo !

[DSGriever]

I've never played a lute, but I play guitar/bass usually. Does playing the lute feel similar to playing guitar?

[luteplayer80]

absolutely not! :) totally different...

[GaleoDeus]

This performance has inspired me beyond description. This simple piece is one of my favorite musics ever written.

How the hell do you get your ornaments so clean?

[luteplayer80]

Thank you, I'm afraid you're far too kind.

Look for Paul O'Dette version, anyway :)

[troubleclef]

NICE. I hope you will do more videos like this one. that was spectacular. (i'll check out your other videos now)

[Magikhatman]

brilliant i love the lute

[hansvleeuwen]

Wonderful!, makes me wish to play the lute again after so many years, but hell... these long flamenco nails!

greetings

Hans

[luteplayer80]

The day I cut my nails off, I realized that lute was important for me :)

Greetings

[perverseclown]

malo , estas bien

[luteplayer80]

sorry, I don't speak Spanish

[perverseclown]

its a vry good interpretation

[GianniStunato]

MESSICANI! MA DAI! BRAVO AMICO! CHE BELLA MUSICA MAESTRO! Ottimo!

[jessyquedens]

Ah, I was hoping to find Dalza somewhere on YouTube. And beautifully played, too!

[luteplayer80]

Very kind of you, thanks ;)

[osbourn15]

BRAVI! this is my favorite videos of the pavan on youtube, very grand.

[luteplayer80]

Thanks! ;) Very hard to believe, anyway, there's the same pavane played by Paul O'Dette.... look for it :)

[caeruleus12]

Un ensayo de gran nobleza. Excellent Renaissance technique.

[Philly1967]

Molto bravo, complimenti...

[stephenlukman]

Amazing!

[Fabyr]

Bellissimo pezzo e veramente ben eseguito!Complimenti a cinque stelle!Saluti dal Friuli.

[ernststolz]

Very nice, buona idea, giocare qualcosa italiana. Nice entrance of the clip too!

[luteplayer80]

Thanx for your suggestion about posting italian music, my friend! :)

P.S. Your Italian is great! ;)

[JPTRAN]

Beautifull. More please
