Thank You, I am beginning to really look forward to listening to you while I have my morning tea ... just starts my day on a sweet note. I loved all four pieces but, the second, "A Port" was my favorite. May Your day be full of Love & Peace
Oh no, I would not expect a new video ... in any amount of time. I'm just grateful when you do have them and I am still watching your older ones as well. Bev
Hi Rob, this sounds very good, congratulations! The most difficult thing for me on the 10 string guitar, is to play the fretted notes on the bass strings.
On my new ten-string, there are only seven strings on the fretboard - much easier to play and lighter too. I think these Ramirez-style 10-strings are too thick, heavy and tense, which is why I designed my new version. But traditional is a hard thing to change. I’ve never felt a need to fret those lowest strings.
I'm sure I remember you playing Scottish lute music on lute in open D tuning.Is this guitars' main playing strings tuned in Spanish or open D? Whatever,the results are very impressive!
I just tuned the g down to f#, Renaissance-lute tuning. I know these pieces is a few tunings. They sound really good on the 10-string, I think. Very happy with it.
Great music and playing. You don't really think of Lute as a traditional Scottish instrument, but listen to these pieces really challenges that notion.
Ah, well, allow me to enlighten you :-) Over 500 Scottish lute pieces survive from the 17th century, and the lute is mentioned in Scotland every century from the 14th until the 21st. It sounds nothing like English lute music. I'm glad you like it!
@@RobMacKillop1 I'd think I might like to add one or two of these pieces to my repertoire at some point. Are there any that you particularly like and would recommend and how do I get the dots?
Centerstream published a book of mine called The Scottish Guitar, which contains a bunch of these pieces, but in dadgad tuning. But you can read the treble clef.
beautiful
Thank you, Ami, and also for the coffee! Much appreciated 😎
Heartfelt.
There’s no reason to play otherwise. Glad you like it, tarek.

Great musician, a true Master. This playing brings peace and beauty to my heart. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Evaldo!

Nossa!!!!! Que lindo maravilhoso!! Ele é um grande Mestre dos Mestres!!
Obrigado por suas lindas palavras, mas não sou um maestro. Os melhores votos da Escócia!
Well, lute music works really darn well on that instrument, I have to say. :)
Agreed! And more to come.
with capo, the sound of the 10 string is more close to the lute, nice pieces Rob!
Cheers, Humphrey. That was the intention. Glad you noticed.
Beautiful as usual Rob! Thank you! Did you have to make that capo to fit this beautiful instrument?
Cheers, Steve. I found it online at www.guitarrasdeluthier.com/es/p/cejilla-guitarra-10-cuerdas/325 - works perfectly.
@@RobMacKillop1 thank you for the info. Rob. So appreciate that.
Cheers!

@@RobMacKillop1 Thanks. I'll order a copy. I play in dadgad, so not a problem.
I made an error. The tuning is Open D. The book has tunes in dadgad, Open G and Open D. Cheers.
