Has anyone got a decent digital copy of Corbetta's 1639 book? His "alfabeto falso" includes a version of Chord N* with the fifth course clearly left unfretted but the note on the first course is unclear. Most people including Pinnell and Gary Boye have interpreted this as being G played at the third fret but the shape of what is actually visible resembles the figure 5 rather than 3 when compared with Chords N3 and N5.
One version would be - top down 3 1 1 1 1 The other 5 1 1 1 1 Any thoughts welcome. Monica To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
