not exactly Mr Clean but a good attempt at providing a somewhat heavenly realm in a hellish world you need to work on your technique and touch keep up the good work
the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles is the problem to avoid. Whenever we use forcing movement instead of quick karate movements the lactic acid accumulation makes our muscles non-responsive. Fast and quick movements don't spend as much energy ,so there is less lactic acid. The longer rests between attacks gives the time for the blood to carry away the lactic acid and bring oxigen to muscles, makes them ready to burn sugar again.....Even with the goog technic you won't sound well forever!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing....I'm a stiff handed musician and I share with you what helped me to get that magic tone that attracted us to the lute family....Excuse my english..it's not my first language. I hope it will help you.
...to get the feeling, I suggest you to rest the tip of your middle finger on the string.
The first pressure is toward the soundboard and then towards your elbow in line with your forearm. your top joint shoulb be bent backwards. From this point you «glide» your finger very quickly and release all tension in your muscles. After a while , you won't have to rest your finger on the string, but the routine is the same: pressure towards soundboard, glide quickly ,release. Let resonate..
I suggest you to go see and listen...: Xavier diaz-latorre,Robert Barto on youtube. The top joints of your fingers should be loose enough to spring back at least a little bit.your position seems perfect but you have to feel this flexibility of your finger's top joints to get the tone and loose this stiff and forcing staccato sound. Muscles should be as relaxing as possible between attacks. Attacks and every movements are quick as Karate. Between them you let resonate as much as possible.Listen!
Nice lute, especially in the lower registers, the bass diapasons. The treble strings didn't come across too well in this recording. I assume they sound much nicer when heard directly.
lovely instrument indeed - wonder what it would sound like with gut strings.

yes it's an incredible example of a lute. I can see why they are so pricey. You play really fantastically too.
