Greenesleeves was not actually written by Henry VIII but around 1580 by someone about a prostitute (honest!) Starting in Lute finger style (earliest finger picking recorded) alternating to modern finger style.
Note the wobbly strings due to pixilation from the camcorder!

  • Quite crappy video, but I like the effect of the strings!

  • @123adam04wallaoklol Steven Spielberg I am not!

  • I was just explaining to my wife that this is what the strings do and that's how you can pick out the harmonics. To see it on video is wonderful. I wonder what type of camera you have? Did you have image stabilization switched on? Perhaps this could cause a problem in that it can stabilize camera shake and string vibration at the same time. I love Lute Style playing and love this song too.

  • @TV2DAYproductions Hi, it is amazing and happened quite by accident. I use a FLIP camcorder (not the new HD version the old version) and the sound reproduction for a mere £80 ish is superb, don't know how the strings ended up that wobbly but it makes for an entertaining few minutes! There's nothing on the camera at all except for zoom and record!

    Cheers

see all
