Delighted to announce the launch of my Introduction To The Lute – for Lute and Guitar players!!!
The book contains 31 great tunes, all in both guitar tab and lute tablature, from easy to advanced, and sound files for every piece and exercise.
The text deals with finding a lute, resources, technique for both hands, learning to read tablature, notes on composers and pieces, etc, etc.
Available as a hard copy book, or online eBook from http://www.melbay.com/Products/30589M/introduction-to-the-lute.aspx
The book is focussed on the six-course Renaissance lute, but has lots of tips for guitar players as well.
Any questions, ask away.

Thanks Rob I’ve ordered a hard copy. I don’t play Lute or Guitar but I’m learning 5 string Banjo and love the sound of the lute and perhaps I can try to emulate some of the Lute tunes. 🙂
Cheers, Andrew. Good luck with that! Lots of great repertoire there. Keep at it – the banjo is a remarkable instrument.
Greetings. I am looking for Scottish ditties to play on lute or vihuela and I am wondering if any are included in this new publication. If not, do you have a collection of such ditties in French tablature in mind perchance?
I enjoy every much your UTube offerings; they are exceedingly helpful.
Many thanks and all best wishes Christopher
