Thanks for this Luke. I heard José Luis Pastor perform in 2011 in Gijon, and he was absolutely amazing. Ed Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 25, 2019, at 12:10 PM, Luke Emmet wrote: > > Perhaps slightly earlier than you had in mind, but not so long ago at the UK > Lute Society we had a presentat

Ron, Tristan, et al., I've always wondered about the odd "L" chord in Baroque guitar notation: a C-minor chord in first position, guitar tuning. Obviously, it is best with an E-flat on the 2nd string 4th fret, but that's a bit of a stretch for amateurs. The other version contains a D
