Lute 101 with Nigel North

[TerraDoctor]

The softness of his voice showed a deep love for his instrument, and somehow, I found myself listening in rapt attention. Thank you. This was educational!

I'm writing a DnD campaign and I was trying to decide what kind of instrument the NPC Bard I'm creating was gonna play. Went through a few Ideas and a lute just seemed very to the style of music I'd like in the campaign. Came to hear some songs, get a feel for a the tone of it. And this man made me fall in love with them.

Music is a beautiful thing.

Came here looking for just how the instrument sounded (making a bard in 5e), but I genuinely enjoyed! Well made!

Such a magnificent instrument that signifies the glory days of the Baroque era.

I want to learn to play the Lute like Kvothe from the Kingkiller Chronicles.

[DS-ygqs]

Nice men, great music, nice instrument. God bless him.

What a beautiful Sixtus Rauwolf baroque lute by master builder Lars Jonsson😮. Possibly the most exquisite instrument I've ever seen.

[idraote]

A nice gentleman introducing a lovely instrument

[allanwolff]

A wonderful and sensitive insight to this beautiful instrument.

I came from The Witcher series where Jaskier play guitar chord on a lute xD

Nigel North - a truly great artist! The Bach transcription of the Suonata of S.L. Weiß, incidentally, is catalogued as BWV 1025. It is based on a work now found in the Saxon State Library - V.2841 - SC.47.

Extremely beautiful instrument and sound!

[moonlightfinger]

3:26 such an adorable sound it has. It's a shame that noone plays it anymore...

[BradHoytMusic]

I used to own Nigel North's CD featuring a collection of music on various baroque and other early guitars way back in 2000. Nice to see this video and be reminded of that great recording. :)

[Repel]

if Nigel doesnt finish what he started at 3:33 im gonna act up

[GregCandalez]

Imagine the bard pulls out one of these, peer chords it, curses your mother and you fall down in absolute pain.

Jokes aside, this video was amazing!

[MariusRomanum]

Bro it's 12:09 am Aug 31st 2022 and instead of sleeping I'm sitting watching how to play the lute. And I don't even have a lute or know where to go and get one God I should be sleeping

My 12th great grandfather was Sir Thomas Mace - lutenist. Came here to see what he was working with and how he would have played. Might just pick it up now in homage

possibly the saddest key of all time.
