Have a look at the accounts on Pietrobono's virtuosity books.google.gr/books?id=tTQrDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA484&lpg=PA484&dq=pietrobono+lute&source=bl&ots=Fl-36KHH3p&sig=ACfU3U3B-Lf_54TIbFB7VCR6u6DFLI2bfg&hl=el&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-jvnQroroAhXR-KQKHbIbDsoQ6AEwBHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=pietrobono%20lute&f=false

    I bought the sheet music PDF with tab from Lathkill and it's very well laid out. I have been learning 'Lamento di Tristano' because it's my favorite piece here and seems a bit more accessible. I'm an electric player who is new to classical guitar and I'm finding it pretty different and challenging.
    I'll always love rock and metal, but I think traditional folk (medieval and celtic styles) like this are where my heart really belongs.

      Not quite Celtic. All of these tunes come from Italian 14th-century manuscripts found in the British Library. They are more so influenced by Old Iberia, African, Arab, and other Mediterranean styles

      Thank you! That's a church indeed, now a museum, in my hometown Rhodes. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century, underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Saint John, turned into a mosque in the early 16th century by the OttomanTurks who added a minaret. That feature was later removed by the Italians in the 20th century during restoration.

      It's indeed a wonderful place. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century and underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century.
