BASSE DANSE “LA ROQUE” (Originally for lute, Pierre Attaingnant)
Lute repertoire is traditionally written in tab format, although in "french tabs" the frets are marked with
letters (A = 0, B = 1, C = 2, etc). On "italian tabs" the frets are marked as numbers BUT the strings are
flipped. I transferred the french tab for this song from letters to numbers.
---------[G STRING TUNED DOWN A HALF STEP (LUTE TUNING)]----------
Rhythm marked above the tab just like on original french lute tab. Repeats are marked with ":"s
