john dowland

[Vuashke]

anyone else heard of this guy? hes a lutenist from the renaissance period (i think, im kinda sketchy on classical music)

theres plenty of tabs on UG but i cant find any sheet music that is free (and im not paying)

all his songs are easy , so i guess if you like anything from those periods you should check him out?

here is a video of a man playing one of his compositions:

i own a few pieces of john dowland sheet music. some years ago i had a short phase where i would have liked to play the lute ... it was rather difficult without a lute.

i just thought, hey, cool idea to play the song in front of a burning fireplace. then i noticed ... it's an electrical one, isn't it?

works well enough on a regular guitar

do you have the sheet music on computer, or is it scannable? could i trouble you for them? and btw, which compositions are they? did you buy them or download them? sorry for all the questions

edit: i would like to play like to play the lute too, but a classical nylon string guitar works well enough, just doesnt have the cool image that a lute does

edit2: oh i really wasnt paying attention, i assumed it was a real fire because i heard some crackles and such, but i dont know
