Thanks for adding some repertoire pieces that are suitable for beginners yet interesting and musical. Thanks also for listing the instrument, strings, and guitar support you use for performing each piece. From your previous reviews of strings, I didn’t know you liked Augustine Regal Red strings. Do you favor these for Renaissance lute pieces played on classical guitar, or did these just happen to be in your queue for the next time you changed strings?
I just had the Regals around to be in queue (I often forget what something feels/sound like). I like the Augustine Imperials quite a bit, the regals seem a bit muted to me. But they are all very nice strings if you want a smooth traditional sound. I tend to want to go a bit brighter though, at least for my guitar.
