minstrel: Filks

[Tadhg O Cuileannain]

I really don't know of any good online sources for
period/perioid guitar music.  The bibliography you can
access from the SCA Arts & Sciences web page has some
books of guitar music, and you might be surprised at
what you can find in your public library (I was).  One
book that is not in the bibliography but that might be
worth looking for is John Renbourn's collection of
medieval and renaissance tunes for guitar.  The
arrangments aren't strictly authentic, but if you can
play like Renbourn I doubt you'll get many complaints.
