I was thinking of the theorbo playing a harmony on G while the guitar would be doing an F major at the same moment.
If we are still talking about Marini surely the theorbo and guitar are not meant to be playing together. It's either or - or have I lost the plot completely? Are you not confusing Grenerin with alfabeto songs. Different repertoire etc.....
With a bowed string there
would of course only be the G in the bass. Do we have indications that bowed string bass instruments were used in this repertoire, in combination with plucked (or strummed) bass?
I don't think so - surely we all agreed about that. Strictly speaking you were supposed to accompany yourself.
