In a time when a good CD of music usually costs $15.00, this book/cd is a great deal. You get a great CD of music, a great deal of usable information about the lute and 32 great pieces to play. Transcriptions of lute music abound. The beauty of tablature is that you are putting your fingers exactly where someone was putting theirs 400 years ago. Tablature was not developed for stupid lutenists who could not read music, it was developed because with early music notation one could not score polyphonic music. It was a great breakthrough for musicians. Anyone can learn to read it with simple instructions.

We now also have an optional insert (which is not necessary) which is meticulously fingered for classical guitar. We can supply this for an additional $5.00 if you have any doubts about your ability to learn to read the lute tablature.

If you have ever wondered about the lute, the history, the tuning, or how to read the tablature, this is the book for you. It contains a history of the lute, a timeline of its development and much other background on it's origin. Here you will also find pieces in lute tablature to play on the guitar both challenging and easy. The point of the music is the quality, and in Renaissance music you can find great easy pieces that are a blast to play. After reading this book and playing the pieces, you may decide to buy a lute. If this is the case, I give you many sources for finding one. You may also decide that you want to play more lute music on the guitar, and if that is the case, you will be armed with the information to do that.

The CD that comes with the book has all of the lute pieces in the book performed on the Renaissance lute, and some of them also played on the classical guitar so you can hear the difference between the two instruments. There are also a few pieces for Baroque guitar and information that will help you play them. And finally, there are two a helpful time lines which will show you the history and progression of both the lute and guitar. These are great lute pieces, not normally found in collections.
