Testimonials:
*This course is designed for those wanting to learn the Renaissance lute in 'G' (6-10 courses/string-pairs) not the Baroque lute in 'd minor' (11-13 courses) or the Theorbo. Please email me if you are unsure whether your instrument is correct for this course.
*Please also note that this course is not designed to replace the role of lute teachers, only enhance the learning process. I recommend that subscribers have lessons in person in addition to this course.
