Nice article! I've got a few bits that I'm keen to add - particularly some refs from the Harper book on the folk revival. I'll try not to bugger up what you've done! Bluewave ( talk) 08:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I've added a bit about 3/4 AD which must be a landmark. It sounds very like what Jansch and Renbourn became famous for, but about 5 years earler. I'm not sure about the definition...and I'm still searching sources. I always understood that folk baroque referred particularly to a contrapunctal style of playing (hence "baroque") in which several (or at least 2) melodic lines are developed simultaneously. That can be achieved either in duet form (as in the Bert & John kind of format) or, if you are clever enough, on one guitar. Anji must be one of the earliest examples. I'm not sure that DADGAD tuning is a defining factor: it can support a contrapunctal style , but it is often used for just melody + drone playing. Bluewave ( talk) 11:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Good additions. The definition was the most difficult bit as the sources were rather at odds. I wouldn't disagree with the above if it can be worked in.-- Sabrebd ( talk) 20:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I think the definition is worth some effort, even if it involves a lot of drafting and rewriting. What about something like the following for a (rather log-winded, but mostly referenceable) definition:
BTW I've just realised that the person who created this article is the same one who's proposing a rework of Classical Music of the UK (or whatever it's called...I can never remember). Bluewave ( talk) 13:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
