And not only had he good taste in music, but he also gave a lot of
information and valuable advice on the execution of the pieces, a great
number of which are probably the most played on the lute today among the
intermediate crowd. He in fact also recommends tuning 3rd down to F# on
several of the pieces and at the end requires lute tuning on some. Still
highly treasured collections which must have inspired many people to take up
the lute.

Yeah, but he had good taste in music. I had three of his books.

What? No love for Frederick Noad's, The Renaissance Guitar?
That book and others put me off of the Renaissance because I found that
most of the pieces, though simple enough looking, were full
of awkward fingerings that took more effort to master then
was worth the underlying music. Later, perusing Ness' Frank book,
and working out the tuning, I found that I could go back to
the Noad with the 3rd down a half-step and have a much better time
of it. It also caused me to lament that the grand staff had not
originally been chosen for the guitar. Someone had a fetish for
ledger lines, I suppose.
