Francesco Corbetta
Francesco Corbetta (ca. 1615 – 1681, in French also Francisque Corbette) was an Italian guitar virtuoso, teacher and composer. Along with his compatriots Giovanni Paolo Foscarini and Angelo Michele Bartolotti, he was a pioneer and exponent of the combination of strummed and plucked textures referred to today as "mixed" style.

In the Italian preface to his 1671 ''La Guitarre Royalle,'' he claims that he was self-taught on the guitar, and also that he had never played the lute (unlike most celebrated guitarists of his day).Hall, Monica.
