"Whilst my lute doth gently weep", circa 17th century, traditional

I can't help but think George Harrison would have absolutely loved this. Beautifully done, bravo.

So accurate that he even got Clapton's noodlings throughout the song thrown in. Amazing piece of work.

I will never complain about the chore of changing strings and re-tuning my 6 string guitar ever again. Good Lord the thought of doing that to a lute feels like repainting the house. Beautiful performance of a beautiful song, thank you for sharing and keeping the lute alive

[Mjohnson]

I don’t know how this ended up in my feed but I’m glad it did. This is beautiful.

[jasondoust]

Still my favourite Beatles track. And playing it on a single ancient instrument demonstrates what a truly fine piece of music it is. Great interpretation, masterfully executed.
Thank you.

The lute in the past, the present and still a great future for the lute. Fantastic musician!

[Paulkuriansunny]

I don't see no weeping here, just pure outright joy!

Your beautiful rendition of "As My Guitar Gently Weeps" made me weep. *George Harrison* stands in ovation.

“M’lord he has playethed the Tritone! Send him to the rack!”

I have been finger-picking this song on my classical for about 8 months now, and I must say sir, it's nowhere as beautiful as this. Absolutely loved it sir. Thank you for sharing it.

[montagnemain]

I love that people still dedicate their time to keeping the Old Arts alive a well!

[ChicagoBeaver]

Bravo sir! I know in my heart George would have appreciated this played by you. Absolutely amazing and moving.

I’m a true George Harrison freak (note my user name) and this is my favorite composition from him and this arrangement just makes me cry.

[notredonsnek]

This is a vastly enjoyable composition! For sure one of my favorite songs, and on what a beautiful instrument!

[misssofija]

You're so talented, Daniel. What a blessing that you choose to share your playing with others. I came across you playing Bach on ukelele and have been enchanted by you since! Thank you for sharing. It is inspiring to see someone play in the way that you do. Hope you have a happy holiday season!

[marijntenbrinke]
