Hello Sean and all, nice tune on the guitar. You can adapt a lot of Italian music for this instrument. Pascale Boquet (lute teacher of the academy of music in Tours and French Lute society president) made a book of tune for renaissance guitar (vol 18 of French Lute Society editions), including many adaptation of Italian songs (Chi passa, la traditora, Madonna mia fa) I recorded some on my YT channel (*). And she did too with the renaissance group "Doulce Mémoire" on many beautiful CD's (Viva Napoli for example). Ok there is no (few ??) original sources from this country for this instrument, but as they adapt song and dance (for lutes or other instruments...), we can do so too for the guitar. (I even adapt Pescatore che va cantando for the ukulele, same tuning as the renaissance guitar, so I could also play on it...)
Val (*) My version of Chi passa, arr.

Due to the tiny neck it gets a little fuzzy especially near the end. No, there is no historical precedent for this arrangement but Mu likes it. http://youtu.be/5ialFDn17DE Thanks to all in the Italian guitar discussion.
