Thanks to Kerry and for all the other positive comments I've received. Performance is everything, whether you are a beginner or a long-standing professional. What I like about the technology we have now is the ability to see the lute being played. I love watching beginners perform, and hope that more of you set aside your worries about making mistakes (all my videos have mistakes in them) and hopefully some more experienced players will offer words of advice, if needed. Making mistakes is perfectly 'authentic', and so are amateur performances among amateurs. I don't think I'm alone in enjoying a beginner trying to play, more than a virtuoso running through something without really being 'involved'. Of course, I get great pleasure out of watching 'real' lute players like Nigel North, Paul O'Dette, etc. I'll never ever be on their level, but I feel everyone has something to share, no matter what level. So, get those cameras rolling!
