Welcome
to ‘The Scottish Guitar’
The book has 74 pages, and there are 40 mp3 files.
It is the sum of many years researching
and performing Scottish lute, cittern and guitar music.
The key thing is the performances.
There is a continuity of style and technique
going back nearly 1,000 years, which I have brought to the modern
nylon and steel-strung guitar.
As I say in the Introduction, this is more
Scottish than 'Celtic'. MORE

Lute is the most wide-spread favourite
musical instrument
in many West European
countries of
Renaissance.
The oldest compositions were intended
for the 6-string lute. To the end of the 16-th century the 7-th
string was added and then the strings number was increased.
Any
instrument
having oval or other body and neck
along which the strings are stretched can be believed
to the lute family. Archaeological museum in Cairo keeps a small
lute with
a long neck
found in a burial
(1500 before our era)
