Tuning from bass: CDEF Gc f a' D G - a mixture of standard strings and Russian 7-string guitar strings. It's just an experiment, so let me know what you think. The Russian strings are available from Aquila-Corde.

There is nothing like tea and Kapsberger first thing on a Saturday morning.
Most excellent, Rob! Thank you!

Jesus Christ loves you my friends

I enjoyed this thanks Rob and a very happy and guid New Year to you and the family 😊 💚
Thanks, Cathy. And to you and yours! :-)
Beautiful!
Glad you like it.
What a wonderful mini-recital of Kapsberger’s music!
With a few errors...but it was fun to do.
Pure beauty. Thanks.
Glad you like it!
Very interesting. Happy New Year to you Rob!
Thanks, Linda. You too! Nice to hear from you.
sweet sounds sir.....very nice.
Cheers, Fred.
Meditative!
i was told the same thing in music college, but the parallel fifths give it a cool medieval flavor.
Jesus Christ the good sovereign God loves you my friend! I hope your having a good day :" )
omg, so perfect
Thanks again :-)
@@RobMacKillop1 you are welcome sir. please feel free to check out some of my no-nail struggle that you have caused :)
Well , if you don't try, you will never know....
Happy new year, Rob.
And to you. I like to try things myself...it's the best way to learn. Though learning that falling from a tall building will kill you is something I take on trust!
It must be difficult to play in this tuning, you play it very well, I enjoyed listening until the end.
Thanks, Ramon. Much appreciated!
Great experiment and selection of tunes from my favorite composer. One question; what is the lowest string you fret in this tuning? Do you go lower than the sixth string? Thanks and cheers ☀️
I can't remember off hand, but I imagine most of it fits six strings.
We have a saying where I'm from when we are amazed. Damn a Bear!
I’ll take it as a compliment 😎
I really like the second piece in particular....sounds as if Bert and John had gone nylon.Great stuff Rob, keep it up ! By the way,I found the Aquliia 7 set quite expensive(still waiting to try them) but any set you like plus a replacement for the middle B ( a heavy 'Spanish ' D or just an ordinary A does it) I've tried it with many Aquilla set and the only problem has been a floppy B.
Nothing worse than a floppy B!
@@RobMacKillop1 Admitted,it's drag,but I found experimentation payed off in a big way(it's how many russian srting their sevens). I've also heard Russian guitarists complain of the dearth of good seven sets available in Russia itself ! I think there are only two types available and they're nowhere near as good as the Aquilla sets.
I agree that the Aquila set is expensive. I bought two sets, and they will have to last the rest of 2019, and it's only January! As they are different pitches (apart from strings 2, 3 and 4) from other Aquila guitar sets, they have to spend time changing their machinery for them. If they get more popular, the price might come down, but I don't see that happening in the near future. I hope to find an alternative, purely on a cost basis, but at the moment there is nothing out there that comes close in quality.
@@RobMacKillop1 It'll be fascinating to put on a set, then ! Once I found an appropriate gauge for the middle B I didn't look back; and use of a high tension set seems to help. I live in america now and I'm not sure if this specialist set is available here,even online.Part of the high cost was simply postage. No shortage of Uke strings though.
Can someone please explain the point of re-entrant tuning?
It emerged historically when the Counter Reformation strategists created baroque music as a sandwich of sorts: bass and melody on the outside, and harmony on the inside. This in turn led to the development of the bass line, in turn demanding more bass from the instruments of the day, the most popular of which was the lute. So, lutes got bigger, but if they were tuned the same as they had been, the first and second strings would break. Therefore, in order to keep the same fingering, say for a G minor chord, then the first two strings were forced to be lowered an octave. Does this make sense?
Lot of claps!!!!!!! 😀
Ha, thanks, Hector.
Do I need 2 more fingers on each hand to play a 10-string guitar?
Lovely guitar. May I ask who the Luthier is? I am starting 10 string myself and simply can't see why they aren't more widely played
It was made by the Juan Hernandez company. Yes, I agree, the 10-string should be more popular.
Thank you. Mine was made by a local luthier, Hans van den Berg. He used a Bernabè and a Ramirez as his models. I am enjoying it to the full.
Originally which instrument was Canario composed for? Teorba or lute?
Theorbo.
Rob, what kind of string are you using for the second string D? Is it a wound D string from a regular guitar set (i.e., the 4th string)?
I can't remember, Paul, but it probably was. As I play without nails, I have no problems playing wound strings.
@@RobMacKillop1 It probably was wound, I would imagine it would be difficult to get an unwound string that could be tuned to D.
@@paulblanchet542 Paul, I can't believe I forgot I created a set which Strings Direct now sell: www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/string-sets-c865/custom-gauge-sets-c889/folk-world-c894/rob-mackillop-10-string-classical-guitar-custom-gauge-p13666
@@RobMacKillop1 Thanks...hope they will have them back in stock soon!
@@paulblanchet542 They never stock them, but make them up when someone asks for them, and they probably never will - it's a very niche thing! :-)
Passacaglia in Dm (is at 3:45)
Colascione sounds very unusual for the time period!
Exactly! I must try it on an electric guitar with distortion...
I think Jesse Bosso talks about the very composition colascione and not about the ten strings guitar version, Am I wrong?
@@BazzTriton True. I was referring to the composition itself.
Which is what I refer to as well - hearing the composition on a distorted electric guitar would be fun - for about a minute!
Song??
I don't know what you mean.
What's Russian guitar tuning?
7 strings. From the bass: DGBDGBD.
So, what you're saying is that Kapsberger invented metal guitar?
Thanks for clarifying my mind! :-)
@@RobMacKillop1 A pleasure, Rob. Lovely playing as always.
I was hoping for toccata arpeggiata. Cool anyway. Thanks
Because that's what everyone else plays? There's more than one piece in the theorbo repertoire. I prefer to record lesser-known pieces which are worth hearing.
Just a tip: you already did better than the average English speaker by saying passacalia instead of passacag-lia, but "gli" is pronounced like a version of the English clear L (the back of the tongue shouldn't approach the soft palate) that has the second quarter of the tongue raised up into the first part of the hard palate's upward curve (counting in from the front). Additionally, it is always held for a long time, like double consonants are in Italian (tt, pp, ss, cc, etc.) despite in this case the sound being represented only once, albeit with several characters due to the latin alphabet not having enough characters for the sounds of Italian
I appreciate that. Thank you!
