Well, Mr. smithsherman, unless you are a 600 year old vampire who spent some time in England and heard Mr. Dowland play, or you own or have access to a time machine, there is no way you can actually judge whether Mr. North's interpretation is "modern". This is a very nice, exquisite rendering. Instead of finding shortfalls in his interpretation, you should rather sit back and enjoy a well executed piece.

Must be a bitch to re-string.

@iorixs i can play greensleves and if you ever heard asoalin by pp&m, i play it very easy exactly like their guitar version ( peter & pauls )

[iorixs]

@themusickey12 probably depends on how much finger pickin' you do and how well you can read music

europe learned to play the lute and so one from the moors this is what i learned when i watched a video about the musilms in spain

Is the lute easy to catch on? I play folk classical guitar.

I really want to take up the lute but I already play bass and I'm learning piano...

Music is cruel in a way, there are so many wonderful instruments and simply not the time in which to learn them :(

This is great music and well played too, Just sit down calm your mind and listen, you´ll enjoy

I got the idea to watch this after a few years of Fable. The straw that broke the camels back was me sitting there, listening to Pink Floyd and playing Fable 3 at the same time, and I shouted "ELECTRIC LUTE MOTHER FUCKER!"... And here I am, trying to find a way to invent an Electric Lute...
