La ascoltavo da ragazzino col mio amico d'infanzia Remi

@valentinalocchi Il testo è di un poeta romano, Americo Giuliani (non Amerigo: proprio "Amerìco"). E' morto giovane, poco più di trent'anni; era originario dell'Abruzzo ma ha vissuto quasi sempre a Roma. Oltre al "Fattaccio", il suo dramma più famoso, si ricorda per alcuni altri drammi popolari a...

Il più famoso dei drammoni popolari di Americo Giuliani, interpretato da uno dei pochi che conoscono ancora l'antico vero dialetto romanesco, che non ha nulla a che spartire con quel miscuglio di cafonaggini importate che passa oggi per "romanesco".

Quite well done. Where did you get your initial notions from? the right hand is rather good, although you should keep your fingers more relaxed.

On your left hand you should work a bit more. A common mistake is to keep it "high", like a violinist; you want to keep the thumb and "heel" of your ha...

@xjoshx18 It is called a theorbo, or "chitarrone" (Italian for "big guitar"). It belongs to the family of the lute, from which it differs for being significantly larger, for being strung with single strings instead of double "courses" (the lute is strung almost like the modern 12-string guitar), ...

I met Paul O'Dette more or less at the time this video was recorded. It was in Italy, in Pamparato in summer 1984, at the Early Music Summer School, where I was studying the lute. Paul gave an impressive recital, in which he displayed his superb musicianship and technique, and also his sense of h...

Wieso lächelt er, feiert man seine Ausstossung

Good job here too

Rather good. A couple of suggestions: first, when you go down the fretboard for the hogh C, on the bass you should alternate C's and G's, while you only play C's (listen well to Lindsey). Second, for goodness' sake get yourself a decent video editing software and chop off the heads and tails wher...

I am Italian and I find this hilarious.

A reasonably good piece of work. I am not sure I like your phrasing, you don't seem to make your mind about when and where to use the legatos and staccatos, but you have evidently put a lot of work in it and that goes to your credit. Keep up the good work.

@JSP1996 it isn't Mike speaking the instrument names, it's Vivian Stanshall, but for the point of your comment it doesn't make any difference. I fully agree with you, when the tubular bells take up the theme the effect is overpowering, even after all these years.

@bioelectrica ;) digerito male, eh?

1:58 non è Jean-Pierre Léaud nei "400 colpi" di Truffaut? Comunque complimenti, un bel video senza essere retorico, su una delle mie canzoni preferite.

Sono appena tornato a casa dopo due giorni passati a Lugano... ieri il tempo era orribile, oggi è uscito il sole, e il lago scintillava in silenzio. Poi, passato il Gottardo... addio bel sole di Ticino.

Quando sono stato per la prima volta a Lugano, tanti anni fa, questa canzone era appena uscit...
