Bravo! A lot of beautiful colours in this "neop-modal" music (excuse the definition, perhaps it sounds stupid?). Dimitri

Yes Brian, this hand position is a lute thing, the renaissance thumb in technique. The thumb is falling into the hand.

beautiful works!
I am not sure if it is a Lute thing or a Gilbert thing.. but your hand positioning on your picking hand, seems unusual. Very nice video! THANK YOU FOR SENDING!!! Cheerz/Brian

Belles propositions musicales qui ont le mérite de tenir compte des particularités de l'instrument et de son jeu.
Nice pieces, thanks. Groeten. Patrig

Thanks, Gilbert. It's really interesting to hear some more extended pieces than the ones you sent me, also to hear "the composer" in action!
Best wishes,

Hello Gilbert!
Nice work!
It's really interesting to hear this ancient instrument playing a new music on a video with modern cities'pictures.
I think you are the first one to do this.
Cheers.
