TR: Yeah I've been a bit busy, when I get on a role with something I just go with it....now it's time to take a break for a bit and work on a "free downloadable" thing for when I get my website up and running....hopefully in the next few months...I've got no idea what I'm doing LOL.]]> Hear Here JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/renaissance-classical-guitar-2-pieces/#post-364830 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/renaissance-classical-guitar-2-pieces/#post-364817 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 21:52:41 +0000 I did notice that the John Dowland tune I played is played much much slower on youtube....although the CD I have for it it's played pretty fast, so I don't know which to go by.

I've got a couple books filled with Renaissance music and enjoy going through them every so often, that periods music is just relaxnig and moody.]]> Hear Here JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/renaissance-classical-guitar-2-pieces/#post-364806 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/renaissance-classical-guitar-2-pieces/#post-364799 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 10:17:35 +0000
