Hi All
I have a beautiful, yet very scratchy hair shirt that I wear whilst
playing the lute. I believe it helps me really get into the mindset of

I think this has more to do with sight-reading. I am lazy and don't want
to practice pieces. But playing a lot of different pieces you understand
certain similarities that become useful when sight-reading manuscripts.

Dear Martyn,
I must beg to differ on that one. I, personally, prefer to play from original
tabs including German tab, but I have seen too many students, not advanced
students of course, who gave up in front of a facsimile tab.

underestimating their abilities.
