Hey download thanks for the link that guy is awesome I got worn out just watching his fingers go. I'm not familiar with the lute but the neck looks bigger than my acoustic. My fingers are not as fat as his but my middle finger was severley smashed not once but twice in my life so the pad is about 1/8 in thicker than any of my other fingers (kind of a pain trying to squeeze it in since the harder I press the more it spreads out)
