Bourree in A major by Weiss for Baroque Lute

[evilkanival1423]

what instrument is that?

[kidneykutter]

@evilkanival1423 It is a 13 course baroque lute

By the way what is the string length of this instrument from bridge to nut?

[jeiluifang]

Excellently played, I enjoy how the bass notes are timed with treble notes in this piece by Weiss.

Does anyone know where to buy a relatively cheap baroque lute ? There only are renaissance instruments on ebay and I really cannot afford the work of a professional.

@PeterVonZahnd the cheapest I've seen is 2000 euro.

Wonderful

[serjaoba]

muito bom!!!!!Parabens

[thermicjohnx]

dude wtf??? y does that thing have so many strings!!! thats gonna take 4ever to tune!!!

[Shenanigasm]

@thermicjohnx try tuning a twelve string guitar, slightly more time consuming lol

[MisterMcBraineater]

I like it better in E minor, it's easier, and sounds better to me, but it's nice to see someone pull this off on the lute. Very nice.

[kidneykutter]

I don't understand. How can a transcription of a piece in a major key (I assume you mean for guitar) end up in a minor key?

[asherasator]

@kidneykutter he means Bach's Bouree in E minor. He doesn't realize other composers wrote Bourees as well.

[Samoriah]

@kidneykutter

He might be referring to Bach's Bouree in E Minor for the lute.

[Shenanigasm]

@kidneykutter Well to be a smart ass if you changed certain notes it could end up in F# minor, being its relative minor right? lol but um, I'm assuming that he's talking about Bach's Bourree in E minor. Which is funny because this is a completely different song.

[spyclanhectic]

@kidneykutter i think he must have confused it with the bach lute suite BWV 996

[BastuBasti]

i think you mean The Bouree in E minor. Those two songs are totally different.

[LTmattYT]

@MisterMcBraineater thats a different bourree altogether dude lol

[MisterMcBraineater]

@LTmattYT I based my comment off the title, but couldn't delete it after I realised my mistake.

[Shenanigasm]

@MisterMcBraineater Wouldn't it be horrible if every song was in the same key signature though?

[snafoofoo]

@MisterMcBraineater I think you're thinking of the song by Bach

[tarmenmin]

That sounds really good! Impressing ;)

[haimcito]

as usually,lovely interpretation.

[Ugjertje]

Lovely to hear

[kageotaku]

Very nicely played.

Must be a pain to keep all those strings tuned, though. :)

[ecknareal]

what are the 2 strings not on the fret for? pelase!

[kidneykutter]

The bottom 2 pairs of strings are on a separate bass rider extension. Actually the bottom 7 pairs are only played "open".

[ecknareal]

Thanks very much, i often wondered why no one uses the bottom strings on most things with more then 6 strings.

[Shilohbanjoman]

Awesome. I used to play a Weiss lute prelude on the classical guitar. It is great to hear it done on the real thing. Keep it coming.

[archluter]

Beautifully played. A major is a nasty key for the baroque lute and you pulled it off great.

[a392player]

Great job, especially on the ornaments.
