Stuart,
Elly is a PhD organology student, not a school kid.
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.
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?

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, 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?

Quoting "Eugene C. Braig IV" <[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

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!
