Well - I hope both. What really needs to be made simple is the notation I
think.

It all forms part of my project with the title "The baroque guitar

I'll certainly be reading it all. When you say "baroque guitar made
simple", do you mean 'the tangled world of Baroque guitar issues' made
simple rather than playing the thing?
Stuart
and it consists of translations of the instructions to the
player from the guitar books of Montesardo, Colonna, Sanseverino and
Millioni with comments and musical examples and a separate section on
alfabeto songs.
There is a general introduction and then the pages about Foscarini and
Bartolotti follow on.
Any comments and corrections will be gratefully received.
I hope someone will find it as interesting as I do. The books do
throw
up quite a lot of interesting background details. For example Colonna
and Sanseverino both dedicated books to the Milanese nobleman Conde
Iulio Borromeo who was related to Saint Charles Borromeo and Colonna
says he was living in Iulio Cesare's household when he composed his
pieces.
There is more to these books than meets the eye.
cheers
Monica
