Yes, she emailed to explain. And banamunga is Gordon's 15 year-old (more Internet savvy?) nephew. I was just wondering if Scottish kids were that much more precocious than English ones.Stuart,Elly is a PhD organology student, not a school kid.
What is wrong with improvising your own prelude? What is wrong with ligados (arguably more of a baroque guitar feature than 4c)? The last note played by the right hand on the fretboard is a hammer-on, not a harmonic. I think Gordon was just having fun rather than making some revelatory gesture regarding 4c guitar technique.

I simply didn't say that there was anything wrong with improvising a prelude. And I didn't say that it was wrong to use ligados.
What Gordon is doing is a bit puzzling and I thought it was worth talking about. What's your problem with that?
2008/9/23 Stuart Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>Thought this had better go to the list as a whole... These pieces are all available on the Fires of Love CD that's advertised at the beginning of the videos ... it's a mix of pieces from the time of Adrien le Roy. I don't think Gordon currently has any plans to do a full CD of four-course guitar - his latest project is a recording of Bartolotti pieces also to be released on Delphian at some point in the future, Elly Elly, bananamunga etc (age 15). I teach mainly 16-18 year-olds. I've got a new crop for this academic year 2008-2009 starting this last fortnight. I cannot imagine any of them communicating to a list like this... like this. Anyway, what's with the 'ligado' preluding (and a harmonic) before the piece begins? I don't know if the strumming at the end is in the original but I see (hear) the point. But not the ligados at the beginning. What's the idea? Stuart Quoting "Eugene C. Braig IV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: A fine player! I've enjoyed these as I have his CDs. Thanks for sharing. Is there a 4-course recording in the works? Best, Eugene At 05:38 AM 9/23/2008, Rob MacKillop wrote: Oh, ye of little faith...already on his website... Rob MacKillop, webmeister! 2008/9/23 Eleanor Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Dear All, More vids up on Gordon's YouTube page (soon to be on his website) ... this time a piece by Morlaye and a couple by Adrien Le Roy recorded on his Renaissance guitar. Well worth using the 'high quality' option on YouTube!
