Great video! One question: I’ve read everywhere that the Renaissance guitar was the main ancestor of the Baroque guitar, but I’m also curious about its relationship with the vihuela. Did the vihuela also inspire and/or contribute to the development of the Baroque guitar?
Hello! Yes, you’re right, one can argue that the Renaissance guitar is the direct ancestor of the baroque guitar. That makes vihuela close relative. It’s apparent that they considered Ren. guitar and vihuela as being related by the fact that music for both appear side by side in same sources. Also, there existed 5-course vihuelas, which had the same tuning as a baroque guitar.
This is wonderful, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool, I've been trying to learn more about these. Thank you!

Brazil is known for a steel string version of it

It sounds and plays like a lute.
So yeah, I bought it. There's no tutorials on how to play this :^)
True, unfortunately. James Tyler’s book is the closest thing we have, but it does contain a wealth of information.
God Christ Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day
Don't refer to yourself in the third person.... It's weird in the 21st century and it's a hang over from colonialist Britain.
