Hello, Pleased to learn of another 10s enthusiast in the UK. We are a bit thin on the ground... I assume you mean modern guitar tablature rather than original ...
Hi James, Well, this used to be in our links section. That's where I found it originally, but it's not there anymore. The commentary by Cardin is very...
Dear All, Stephen brought to our attention Ronn McFarlane's newly released lute CD, "Indigo Road", consisting of his own compositions, of which samples may be...
Dear All, once more, Just to confirm, the tablature for "Indigo Road" is for 10c renaissance lute, so, directly playable on 10s in romantic tuning, and at...
Hello James, No, nothing is sacred, especially around here. I just restrung my prima domra using mandolino, ukelele, lute, and guitar strings (one of each)....
Hello David, Many thanks for the direct link to Cardin. What a marvelous source of information and advice. Barto has given talks and performed at the (UK) LS,...
Dear 10 String Colleagues: After trying several different tunings for the 7th string, I am ready to believe that for certain pieces in the Bach and Weiss...
Hello Marion, Actually, the (UK)Lute News did indicate that Ronn McF.'s compositions ranged from convincing pieces in the styles of Dowland and Wiess, to more...
Hi James, Barto has a few things on his site regarding right hand fingering that are interesting, but that's about it. I'm listening to one of his CDs of B.J....
Jorge, When I put the view that Yepes used only his standard tuning, with the seventh variously adjusted, to a professional in the UK who had played the Bach...
Thanks James, that makes me feel much better! I think it is possible to play many of the Bach pieces with just one string lower than 6, but there are a few...
I know we've had this discussion before. There are Youtube videos of Yepes obviously fingering the eighth string. I think we found one where he was fingering...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLR2dzDExV8 He's on the eighth string here within 5 measures. From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com]...
Dear James and John: In the Bach video he is fingering 7, not 8, which would be in line with the conventional wisdom on this list that 7 is the low string, and...
My mistake. The very light colored string was usually his seventh but in the video it is 6. I know there are others though where he is fingering 8. I'll look...
Hello David, One of the talks Barto gave at the (UK) LS was on RH fingering in Weiss. It seems that Weiss hardly ever signalled the use of the ring finger,...
Hi James, It was interesting on Barto's website examples that he showed that Weiss indicated using the ring finger in a few isolated instances. I'm guessing...
... this ... The srtong/weak uneven scales actually is an imitation of violin bowing technique, and is imitated on pretty much every instrument up until the...
Speaking of plucking fingers, it's interesting how Goran Sollscher uses the same finger in a row to pluck ... especially the ring finger). You can see it in...

This is only on a 6-string, but it's very good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAbo3j6odSM&feature=related So often I get the impression that many people...
Lately, I have been using all 5 fingers of my right hand. Having played for years on six strings I tended not to use the pinky very much but now I'm finding...
Hello Glen, Even new composers are more impressed with multistringed versions of what was originally written for six. Take my requinto sonata in F for example....
Hi Glen, IMO, Weiss' L'infidele suite actually sounds better on a guitar than on the lute. In fact, the best recording of that suite that I've ever heard was...
Hello Marion! You bring up very good points...Music comes in all kinds of styles, octaves and key signatures. I like Low, low basses in addition to the regular...
