Excellent! There aren't nearly enough lute songs employing the Baroque lute.  Perfect lute for Maestro Wait's vocal range & style. On 12/26/2017 7:13 AM, Roman Turovsky wrote: I have a couple of Tom Waits songs worked up on baroque lute, but that is an entirely different brow level!

Pat had told me that I could freely share his files but not his jazz intabulations, which he meant as gifts for Ellen Hargis. Perhaps with Ellen’s permission we can share them. She will be the Pat O’Brien lecturer this summer at the LSA meeting. For now, his other files can be found at

You might want to consider that if the Tieffenbruckers had modern mass production facilities, they would have been the first to use them... Am 25.12.2017 um 19:28 schrieb Ron Andrico: In defense of our highly skilled luthiers, I have to say that lutes are comparatively under-priced.

Maybe it's my personal taste, but having worked with an Early Baroque group at one time taught me something. It consisted of Recorder, Violin, Viola da Gamba, Dulcian, Theorbo/Guitar, Harpsichord and a big Double Bass. Mostly the dulcian played with the Basso Continuo except for select sonatas.

I've been playing a fair amount of jazz lately (on trombone, not lute, but that's another story). Jazz charts are conceptually similar to figured base; the details are different, but it's the same basic idea. Shouldn't be any harder to play from a chart with lute than it is with guitar, and

Epitaph is a great one. I nearly wrecked my wrist practicing the middle section of Crimson's aptly-named "Fracture" on baroque lute. Constantly running straight 16th notes at 120 without a single break for close to 4 minutes. Ouch! Hats off to Robert Fripp who composed and performed that beast
