One time, I had a dream that I was in a guitar class and Brandon was the teacher. Of course, he was also fighting off an invading army with a theorbo, but he was also a very good teacher. He put down lute tablature for me to read and then said something in Mandarin. I don't speak Mandarin. I also think there was kung fu involved, but it's been a while since it happened.

Are you going to play the lead, melody, or bass?

Theorbo: yes

I was at home and suddenly I found myself on a tavern drinking ale with my buddies while looking for a new adventure

It's crazy to think that this piece has been created more than 400 years ago. You are literally hearing history and what is music for them back then.

Modern metal players - Dude, we have the sickest guitars ever
Theorbo - hold my mead

Metal guitarist says “My guitar has seven strings.” Brandon says “Hold my beer.”

Plenty has been said about the amazing tunes, but anyone else notice the excellent framing, impeccable lighting and colours of the video? Top notch work!

[AbnerChamate]

I didn't know Canario was written by another renaissance composer. This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you maestro

[andrewszmauz]

Absolutely beautiful! I start school back up again today (Classical guitar performance major) and you have sparked a ridiculous interest in me about early music!!! Thank you!

[guicham]

Hi Brandon, why aren't you on spotify ? It would be great to find such lovely pieces played by you on this plateform. Thank you very much for this one, this piece is so joyful !

[ivyssauro]

My man here got better pinky trill than most violinists!

[dlal]

I can imagine you playing that in front of a King when it was written. Everyone is always trying to look ahead in music, but I feel you’re inspiring people to look at and appreciate history.

When you have to save Metropolis, take care of Lois Lane, find out what Lex Luthor is up to and still have time to play theorbo.. ♫

[Crovax]

That sounds majestic. Also your right hand veins were about to explode
