What a bargain this volume is! French tablature for lute, standard notation for guitar, plus the voice part. All nice and neatly presented. You absolutely can't go wrong with this volume at $10. Thanks, Dover; what a great favor you've done for us lutenists!

It took me awhile to get used to the traditional lute tab notation as I am coming from a regular guitar background (read standard notation & "modern" tablature). This is a good book if you can find it. If you also like steel-string acoustic guitar playing, check out the recordings and transcriptions by John Renbourne. There is another book that may be hard to find but worth it called "Complete Anthology for Medieval and Renaissance Guitar" that has some great transcriptions using alternate tunings by Renbourne.
