IanA Guitars??? (as folksong accompaniment) (71* d) RE: Guitars??? (as folksong accompaniment) 05 Apr 10


I sense several defensive replies here....

I have my own preference/ bias/ prejudice but I'm not being judgemental. I am thinking of recordings made by Vaughan-Williams, Grainger, et al in the early 20th century and I am coming at it from a British perspective.

I nearly always sing unaccompanied but using 'instruments used in 1300' has an appeal. Gemshorn, symphonie and vielle for me.

Martin Carthy certainly used guitar extremely skillfully. When did he first come on the scene? (I'm pretty ignorant) Were there any before him?
