Hello, my name is Stefan Olof Lundgren, and I will be your guide on your way through this online Lute Tutor.

When you see a music example, just click on it and the music will start!

A short introduction to the pages on this site:

Pluck and Play

Lute music is notated in tablature. In three steps you'll learn to play from this easy and practical system.

Children's Corner

We start with a short and funny text. Then we speak and play it rhythmically. A melody is added and, finally, a bass line. And there it is: a complete new tune for the lute!
