All too short!
La Folia is a classic 500-year-old chord progression that was possibly the most used in all of western music history. Other compositions based on it include Marin Marais' variations for bass viola da gamba.
Anyway, it's a fun quick listen.

And so we start down the madness trail of making a #cigarboxguitar #theorbo....or maybe #arclute...I need to see the tension capacity of the build. Next step, bracing.
Another great video by Brandon Acker breaking down the Theorbo.
