J.S. Bach - Sonata in G minor, BWV 1001

0:00 Adagio, 3:25 Fuga, 8:23 Siciliana, 11:29 Presto I’m happy to share my arrangement of Bach’s masterpiece, BWV 1001. The sheet music (tab notation combo) here! This is perhaps my favourite of his solo instrumental sonatas, and like all Bach, the more you play it, the more it reveals to you. I’ve gone through a bit of a change in philosophy when it comes to arranging Bach on the guitar, and that is to only add notes when I feel the translation to guitar is lacking. Having said that, this arrangement is fairly true to the original, except when it was irresistible I added the low 7th string to fill out the range. For those with a keen ear, you will notice this is actually in f# minor, which in Baroque tuning is actually G minor! In reality though, I feel the capo on fret 2 with the low C# on the 7th sounded best on this guitar. Special thanks to Mark Usherovich for building this very versatile guitar.
