Description:

Beginning with the key of C and using scales, intervals, modes, grounds, and chord progressions, The Improvising Lute Player is the first book ever to help you learn to improvise on the lute. The book provides all the necessary tools and advice to get you started. With numerous examples, every chapter contains a “Your Turn” section giving you the opportunity to create your own improvisations. The book is written for the 6-course Renaissance lute, entirely in French tablature with letters representing frets. Ultimately, if you stay the course with this book, you’ll be able to improvise with modern jazz chords on the Renaissance lute, all by reading tablature.Includes access to online recordings of the author performing each example.
