Beautiful Thanks!
Haha, I agree with your father. I just got a pretty nice instrument and I'd hate to leave it in the closet like some sports car you only take out to polish. So here's to beatin the hell out of it. Thanks for the advice on cleaning.
Well, I'm half Greek, anyway. I try to have clean hands when I play. For me the problem is my sweaty arm and chest. Well, I try to remain calm when I play (not always easy), and always wear long sleeves. The sweat tends to destroy a French polish pr…
Sounds great man. Thanks for the vid.
Good job !!!
I downloaded everything I wanted of it before it disappears again.
Domenico Pellegrini's "Battaglia Francese" was a real find for me thanks.
I couldn't get it on the website I had.
The thought of peanut butter and jelly oozing down the sound hole makes my skin crawl ouch.

It will depend on what your Baroque Guitar is finished with but plain water is one of the safer options. I would give the detergent a miss and see how you fair with the damp cloth. The safest option is to try and find out what was used to finish the…
Anyone got some good ideas for cleaning the baroque guitar. My Luthier told me to just use a damp cloth with some light laundry detergent and I'm a little reluctant. Does this sound OK?
The other problem I am worried about is that I'm starting to no…
It's sad huh. There was a lot of music there too.
If you are thinking about retyping the whole thing..., maybe a version in Italian or French tab might help... modern guitar tab is OK; but you knowyou are playing a transcription the very moment you start reading.
Thanks guys good advice. It's a shame the site crashes randomly though. There's tons of great music on it. I'm new to the 5course and thanks to the wonderful people on Ning, I've been able to actually have music. When you type in baroque guitar tabs…
