I put on a lute CD the other day for the first time in a while. I was
struck at how much I had grown accustomed to the sound of the guitar,
and thought the lute sounded like crap, I took it off after 20 seconds
and put on Goran Sollscher. I used to be addicted to the lute, but now
find it lacks clarity, sounds twangy, and unclean..... pretty much like
a banjo.
I spoke with a guitar friend today, whom I thought liked the lute.
Turns out he was just trying to make me feel good and finally confessed
he couldn't stand the sound of a lute. How does the lute sound come
across to most guitarists?
