A brief guide (mostly for beginners) to plucking strings on the lute with the thumb-inside technique.

I love the interior and atmosphere of this man's home. Very Mediterranean. Nice lesson.

Even though I've played classical guitar for many years, I'm realizing how much I don't know about the lute. Thanks for these videos, they'll be really helpful!

Thank you, yes, thank you for both sharing your knowledge and making the videos, and yes please more of these.

Going to make an extremely obscure reference:

Watching this video is like reading Erdnase.

Well done. I teach for many years but other instruments. I'm new to Lute. Thanks for a great video. i'm not used to the thumb on the inside position. Do you think a guitarist who plays thumb outside should continue doing so on lute because of hard ingrained muscle memory already acquired? Or should I try to learn thumb inside at 40 years old?

Thanks for the video. 2 questions: How different is the plucking of the m and a fingers, you just talked about the index. Also, are the nails used traditionally at all or is it a choice? Thanks

Im a guitar player, but lately I really want to buy a Renaissance Lute and learn to play. 😬

[skinnybreakfast]

Thank you kind sir! Can you recommend your favourite strings please?

[MacKenziePoet]

May I please ask how you are stabilizing the right hand? Is it by the little finger touching the sound board???

[Ana_crusis]

it's very close to classical guitar technique but with lutes isn't the index finger also used to play down strokes?

[yuridanylko]

How about fast scales? Does this use flamenco techniqur?
