Description
In this sketch the guitar is tuned with the third string down a semitone - ie the equivalent on guitar of the intervals between lute strings. This allows for certain harmonic effects between strings which would otherwise not be available on the instrument.
The sound sample is a performance by the late Chris Benson with me on guitar
