Then add the fact that he is using gut strings, which are notorious for loosing tune much faster then any other stings...

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

Hello! Just looking at the lute and listening to the sounds can be captivating. So also for the guitar. With this piece you have appreciated besides what you have said in your replies, is the arrangement of the piece; like an orchestra. You have done a good job and I think there could be an arranger in you! You could be forgiven for not using the other stings as guitars and lutes have built in spreading of harmony. I can say this because I am as old as the hills. Hope your musical interests compensate for the harsh realities if life! Thanks for the video.
