This is interesting! Why dissonances would become more dissonant as
pitch is lowered? Is it an opinion or a physical fact?
Speaking as a piano tuner, I can say it's a physical fact on a piano.
Much less so on a harpsichord, and undoubtedly much less so on a vihuela
also. Piano strings are so

Ah, OK. Not many minor seconds in the bass register of vihuela pieces,
but I get your point. On a piano is just sounds muddy, not more
dissonant, to my ears. I don't think playing a guitar in E or G would
make much difference.

Well - I think most people would agree that there isn't a standard pitch
for
either the vihuela or the lute and that in any case there are at least two

Changing the subject only slightly...what is the earliest citation or

Here is one additional point -- the modern guitar has 12 frets to the
body/neck joint. Early 6-course lutes have only 8 tied frets. The
resulting enforced change of the left-hand configuration in the high
positions is a fact of life for lutenists, and probably helps most of us
to orient ourselves
won't slight you in the slightest if you prefer to capo as a
soloist.

uspend his
disbelief. In other words, the point isn't really that it sounds more
lute/vihuela-like but rather that it sounds a bit less guitar-like.

I would say keep the capo. One advantage for modern classical guitar
programmes is to make your repertoire from different periods sound a
little different. There is less resonance but more transparency with a
capo, and, yes, it does make some passages easier for the left hand.
But th
There is one minor point though - shortening the mensur and thereby
facilitating difficult stretches...

I can't see any point in using a capo. You can just
play it as it is. Might be different if you are accompanying

My first bit of advice would be to get rid of the capo unless you
need to adjust pitch

Hello, Joshua. Glad to see you are back.
I have a question - why put a capo on the third fret? Is it for some
ensemble piece so you need to be in a particular pitch, or is it for solo work?
