Arto- I don't know where that version comes from. Throw it away and play the original- it's much better. In the original, it's the 3rd course that's split, not the 4th (wouldn't work very well, 8ve string). Splitting the 3rd course is 90% of the FUN part of this piece! It's set up to be very easy to play, and the effect is fantastic. I guarantee you'll love it when you try it. The other missing bits are also fun- but apparently it wasn't enough fun for Capirola or Vitale to finish it, but that's no problem either. Capirola does the split 3rd in one other piece, and I believe at least one Spanish vihuela composer does this.
And your playing is very nice- excellent tone, expression, and I see you getting into the rhythm.
