[VIHUELA] new network site
Ever one to jump on a bandwagon... The Lute and Baroque Lute lists now have a useful network site, as does the cittern crowd. Now we have the vihuela-baroque guitar social network website: http://earlyguitar.ning.com/ What is there? Well, you can discuss things in a forum, upload photos, pdf files, videos, mp3 files, have your own blog. You have to log in for your first visit. The lute and cittern sites seem to have become popular very quickly. Will it replace this forum? I doubt it, but some might find it more enjoyable. I've also extended the timeline to pre-Torres guitars. It will be useful to have all our sound files, scores, illustrations on one site. If it doesn't work, I'll take it offline in a month's time.

[VIHUELA] playing cords
in spite of the posh new site, can I ask a question here, I have got to Ballo Sarmatico ix from the torban site, it has five note cords, my question is do you use the little finger to play the top note, or do you play the two bass notes with the thumb?? or is there some other way? bob -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[VIHUELA] Re: playing cords
Hi Robert, I fully expect this discussion group to keep going. For a five-note chord from the fifth course to first I would play two bass notes with the thumb - fifth course then fourth - then rake the index finger from the second course to the third, then play the first course with the middle finger. Certainly, this method was used by lute players. I can't say for definite whether vihuela players would have done the same.
