chord- on the 6th string/course are ( maybe also were- Capirola's
instructions?) commonly fingered with the left thumb. (Or David van
Ooijen's right thumb).
Great idea! You play your thing and I stand next to you and lend a
finger when needed.

I'm not sure it/IA will work with split courses, though. Sounds tricky

Just hang around folk guitarists. Low F#, 2nd fret, 6 string (or 12
string 6th course) to play a full D chord when Dropped D tuning of
the low E string is not being used. Same on 6 course lute, except when
Dropped F is used- (until the 7th course came along).

Not to mention the Blues Ragtime virtuosi- check out Dave van Ronk's
St. Louis Tickle -parts of it are almost as hard as Melchior
Newsidler's high position work. And, those low notes- F, G, etc. as well
as the F# 3rd to a D chord- on the 6th string/course are ( maybe also
were- Capirola's

Can you do it with your LEFT thumb? (Of course, you could stand in front
of me - a plus for the audience!)
What I really, really need is someone with extra thumbs on their
plucking hand to help me out on my archlute. I'm not as used to all them
there bass strings as a lot you
Hi Martin and Sean,
This is a very pretty little chord. If one uses a rest stroke with the
thumb, it is actually easier to play the octave alone on the treble side
of the bass.
It is also interesting that the same chord would come out if one split
the 3rd course.
This one sounds a bit
