Suite in lute tuning for classical guitar (mp3)

The guitar is configured with the third string lowered by a semitone (F sharp), akin to a repositioned lute, which allows for unique auditory experiences as the fretted and open strings adhere to a slightly altered set of rules compared to those found in traditional classical guitar tunes. Parts of it echo the melodies of Alonso Mudarra, a 16th-century lute and vihuela player, yet the rapid tempo (featured at the start and close of the suite) bears more similarities to the rhythm of ragtime, albeit with a somewhat hectic twist.
