I've long thought that there was something missing from the way most
of
us learn to play baroque music, whether on lute or guitar. Some of us
have studied figured bass playing, it's something I particularly
enjoyed doing, though I haven't done any for years. But rarely do we
step beyond that practice, and I believe that only a very, very small
percentage of us are happy improvising baroque counterpoint in Dm
tuning.
I was fascinated to learn that one of my jazz guitar heroes, Steve
Herberman, teaches a class online called Going For Baroque. You have
to
buy the class, but an overview video is available:

It would be really interesting to transfer his approach to the Dm
lute.
One would really get to know the instrument and tuning well, and
discover many contrapuntal finger movements which could be used in
improvising fugues or dance movements.
I'd like to know your thoughts after watching the video.
