  • Very, very nice!  Are you using as standard Baroque tuning?

  • hello,

    thanks for your comment. Most of the time ,i use the renaissance tuning g-d-a-f-c-g-f-eb-d-c-bb.

  • Very nice. How much do those altguitars run? After I heard Goran's version, I downloaded the transcription for 6 string guitar.. and well it looks a lot easier on what you're playing. Those low notes really make the piece, too. I might never play baroque music on 6 string again.

  • hello

    thanks for your comments.

    if it looks easy to play this king of instrument , in fact it's much more harder for the right hand. i know some altguitarists who give up and return to the 6 strings.

    But it is a so wonderfull feeling that some keep on going ...the best way to play it is, i beleive ,to begin it quite young and in the same time as the 6 string.

    if one time you comme to france, please contact me to let you experience this ok ?

    best regards

  • Superb and moving rendition! Played with great understanding. I get the idea that the sound of this kind of guitar is quite big. Is that true? Does it project better than the finest 6 stringers.

  • hello

    thanks for your comment.This guitar is not more powerfull than others but i think that it's because the "ambitus " is a little bit larger than the 6 strings guitar.

    regards
