    When I think of the solo lute, I don't think about me going to a concert hall to listen to it, but about me playing it in my room by myself (I wish...). To me it's like something you play for yourself, not for others.
    Of course it was also a great accompanying instrument and I particularly love how it meshes with the human voice.

    According to the Wikipedia page on the brilliant English Renaissance composer, lutenist and singer John Dowland, who had a penchant for melancholy, the poet Richard Barnfield wrote of him that his "heavenly touch upon the lute doth ravish human sense." I believe the same could be fairly said of Brandon Acker.

      Me too. I started watching his videos about 7 months ago when my city went into lockdown. Very soon after I started playing my girlfriend's steel-stringed guitar. The first piece I learnt was Greensleeves arranged for guitar from the lute. I played that guitar for months until two weeks ago I finally bought myself a nice nylon-stringed. I didn't know that this kind of repertoire existed on the guitar until I watched Brandon and that's what got me so interested in playing.

    Nice playing and review. Dowland is a master and one of my favorite composers. Excellent lineage and breakdown referencing the oud. Cheers!

    That concept of division playing is very cool! I’ll have to start adopting and utilizing that mentality at times as I play from now on!
    By the way great vid, really enjoyed this

      Im trying to look up “division playing” but I get no information whatsoever. Is there another name for it?

    Wonderful information about the lute and its historical signficance. I loved watching through the whole thing.
    The only thing missing I would say would be a brief explanation about how the right-hand technique differs from modern classical guitar technique. Obviously, the thumb-inside posture is foreign to classical guitarists, but it differs in other ways too - the use of nails vs. flesh of the fingertips for example. The angle of the fingers is a bit different too.

    I loved this video. Accompanying vocal reminds me guitar today creating riffs in rock and metal bands. But solo is more amazing and beautiful, like solo in guitar. Thanks for this video. Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

    Seeing tablature written by hand in the 16th century for a classic ancestor of the guitar is amazing (especially as I've seen tab dismissed as a lazy excuse not to use sheet music). Was the Oud notated in a simular fashion, or was tablature a European development?

      Yes, it was European, as is all the ''Western'' musical theory and notation everybody thinks is universal these days. The Europeans invented proper polyphony and chordal playing, which made musical notation necessary for complex art music. And they obviously invented the printing technology that allowed the sheet music industry.
