Having played and taught guitar for most of my life, I've run into this
attitude toward the study of theory quite often. I think some guitarists
have the feeling that a knowledge of theory is going to interfere with their
ability to play. Their concept of playing guitar is to just close one's eyes
Dear Neil,
I find this question very interesting, because it uncovers
some of the expectations created by the modern guitar tradition.
We have agreed names for guitar chords because of the fixed pitch
of the instrument.Admittedly there are three or four positions for
the same chord on a guitar

Denys and all,
I've thought about this a bit and don't find it
so strange that the lute typically doesn't have
stock block chord shapes.
How many contemporary, modern, 21st-century, just
published, classical guitar methods include a chord
chart? I don't know of many now nor in the
Dear David,
Not half as difficult as Dutch typed fast, or Japanese for that matter.
In answering Neil's initial question by supplying a list of chords for the
lute, one can see why there must be better ways of approaching the lute
other than solely through chord shapes. I particularly liked the
Dear Denys
Thanks for these explanations that really do help to clarify my
rather vague intuitions about the linear (polyphonic) as opposed to
vertical approach to music.
We may be much more sensitive to the vertical aspects of the music

May I drop a stone into the water by saying that compared to closely
related guitars and renaissance lutes, things get freaky with the
