I hope you don't mind if I say a few words. I have a baroque lute (d minor tuining 13 course) and from the first day I had it I began to learn the notes in all the positions on the fretboard I did the same thing on the renaissance lute and also on one vihuela in a (now I have a vihuela in G) and I think that this is the greatest thing to discover yourself the chords in all positions and to improvise on them. Also a very important thing that I've done is that I've learned some grounds like: La Folia, Passacaglia, Ciaconna etc and I was trying to improvise upon them and in this way I've created a very strong image on the base and the function of the chords.

I don't have professional ambitions with the subject, but I'd like to give it a serious try this summer. I'm starting to collect some published material, and would like to know if there's any book which is a must having. Found some really useful stuff on the web, and would like to know if there's anyone who has done (or knows about) a sort of a chord chart for g' tunning (for a ten course or an archlute, for instances), which takes care of proper voice leading, as you can see in many jazz guitar methods, to give an example. I will really appreciate any advice from players of all levels here! Thanks in advance, Ariel.
