fantasy (on a lute)

Me playing a freaking old lute. This is an original song i wrote nearly two years ago.

Lyrics:
ban all the weapons and end all the war
cause fighting is not what living is for
feed all the models, let the animals free
but this is just my little fantasy

don't tell me you love me if it isn't so
and don't lie to me if you don't want me to know
all i demand is your honesty
but this is just my little fantasy

It is a shame that you have a lute and you use it in that way :c. It is not a guitar.

@galletitamortal well, people also told me, that that one is a guitar lute and that the tuning is right... in fact i don't care, i don't know what i'm doing as i also pointed out below :-)

[imafreemanfornow]

you kind of sound like one of the girls from tegan and sara, I've got a question if you don't mind; is playing the lute in its standard tuning (if it has one) the same as playing a six string guitar? and what about playing one of those lutes with more than 6 strings? and if you were to read lute tabs would be be able to play off those tabs with a guitar?

[KidcatLofi]

@imafreemanfornow well i tuned that one just like a guitar. that's all that i can say... i'm not the right person to answer all your questions, most of the time i have no idea what I'm doing with my instruments ;-)

I've been told that mine was made around 1900, Ofcourse I dont know if its true but it sound logical. I mean, you cant play a 500 year old instrument i guess

[KidcatLofi]

@BambridgeBardsDavid well that's old enough i guess. i only know that that one was bought by my father about 30 years ago at an auction- but then he only knew that that think was "old" and quite cheap.

Yep, guitar lute - play it any way you want.

[bloodoneiros]

its a guitar shaped like a lute ;) but its great and you should record this song in better quality i love it!!

[hannahbna]

[francello75]

[HectorLex]

Dude, thats fucking great

[galletitamortal]

@edurbrow c: Thank you. You're right, it is her instrument, she can do whatever she wants with it.

[edurbrow]

But basically it is a guitar! This is know as a Wandervogel lute, made popular at the end of the 19th century in Germany. It is tuned like a guitar and does not have double strings like a lute. Why shouldn't she use any instrument any way she wants? Most lutenists would probably consider it more of a shame to play lute music on such an instrument rather than on a historical reconstruction. Anyway, the song works nicely IMHO.

Well, I for one quite like what you did with the instrument, and your vocals. This is how music gets better - because people experiment. Of course, you'll never please everyone, but I don't think that's going to stop you, nor should it. Keep up the good work.
