I break chords a bit more, fast or slow as I seem fit, raking downwards with index and middle fingers independently where required. Given the nature of the music in today's concerts (Dowland lute songs and solo, and Byrd intabulations) I didn't strum upwards with the thumb a lot, as

David-- When omitting the ring finger, how does one effectively employ the other fingers to hit all required strings? E.g.--two with the thumb, two with index? Depending on the string spacing? I'm interested in this because, due to a minor deformity, I can't always use the ring

I have a nasty callus on my ring finger at the moment, studied too much romantic guitar last week, so I did my concert (Dowland and Byrd on 10-course lute) without ring finger today. Lovely tone, much better! David On Mon, 31 Aug 2020 at 13:44, Rainer

Dear Robert, if you look at the Paladin print from 1553, he uses a dot underneath 3 voices which I ´d interpret to be played by three fingers and not the thumb. For example the fifth bar in the Pavana chiamata la Paladina. Thumb plays the bass voice, the fingers the rest. Best,
