The Uncreator10th January 2008Very cool stuff! love the tone 
Khaos Keith10th January 2008wow i reeeeally love this... and i dont play alot of classical renaissance stuff, but this got me picking up the ol accustic and playing away haha, i think more lessons in this style would get me playing it even more!
that's cool.... i like the melody
what do you mean with time signature 2/4???
and which fingers do you use?
am i right with thumb index and middle finger?
Dejan Farkas10th January 2008Thank you all
misha - 2/4 time signature means that the beat is a quarter note and we have 2 quarter-note beats per measure (2 beats per measure).
The right hand fingering is not of great importance here so I did not indicate it, the thumb plays the bass notes, and for the rest you can have a close look on slow videos how I play it, or make your own fingering that suits you the best
Gerardo Siere10th January 2008I love that melody. Good work

Toni Suominen10th January 2008Cool lesson Dejan!!
awesome lesson, hope to see more of these
Dejan Farkas10th January 2008Thank you all
Johnnix - nice spotted many modern arrangements moved this piece from A Dorian to A Minor (F# -> F) but it tried to evoke the spirit of the Rennaisance and left it in the original mode, but tastes are different and it's not strange if you like it in A Minor
Lester10th January 2008cool!!!
I remember this theme from some old knight games i used to play when I was younger
krudtaa10th January 2008Sounds great dude
Gilmore10th January 2008Nice lesson, I like this song. I think A minor sounds better then A Dorian, but it´s nice to hear both.
Gabriel Leopardi10th January 2008Very nice lesson Dejan!
Juan M. Valero10th January 2008really wonderfull !!! love this song, I learnt to play the main melody but with all the bass lines is too complicated for me !!
David Wallimann10th January 2008Great lesson Dejan!
I love your sound too. Very clean. Is it the mic of your camera?
Hisham Al-Sanea10th January 2008nice feelings with greensleeves dejan
Tomy Jeon10th January 2008Cool melody Dejan! Sounds very Renaissance
Hemlok10th January 2008Perfect! I love this Dejan, you did a fine job. Keep these fantastic lessons coming
Dejan Farkas10th January 2008Thank you guys
Wallimann - I record guitar through on-top pickups, then through DI-Box, then Mixer into the sound interface. The sound I get is not so good, so I add some EQ (to cut unnecessary highs) and REVERB in GuitarRig2, and some more EQ (to increase lows) in SoundForge to get the sound for the main video. The audio in slow videos is without processing, so you can hear the difference
SLASH9111th January 2008Nice, I've always loved this tune. Now it's going to be stuck in my head for the next week
Joe Kataldo11th January 2008beautiful

A.C. Dega22nd December 2009should that f# be just an f natural in the 4th bar first string?
Dejan Farkas23rd December 2009The reason I used the F#, or A Dorian mode is since it's sound is characteristic for the Rennaisance period, in which this piece was born. Some modern arrangements moved the piece into natural minor (F#->F), because it sounds more modern and generally sound better now. But I wanted to get close to original as possible.
This time we go back to the Renaissance period in the 16th century, and this romanesca (song form composed of four chords with a simple, repeating bass) is the most popular one from that period. It is widely believed, but unproven, that it was composed by King Henry VIII for his lover and queen consort Anne Boleyn.
