    I'm happy to share my arrangement of Bach's masterpiece, BWV 1001.
    The sheet music (tab + notation combo) here! www.classicalguitarist.ca/pub...
    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. I love all colours on this spruce and maple guitar (just like a violin). The possibilities for arranging Bach are vast on this instrument, and you'll be sure to see more.
    Also thanks to Alex Bougie and Ricci Ebron for assisting in the filming. It's very hard to film oneself, I couldn't have done it without them!

    I truly believe that classical guitar belongs to Bach. Giuliani, Sor, Taregga etc are fantastic composers, I can play them for hours by heart, but for some reason, the classical guitar, belongs, to Bach, and he never even saw one.

      This is factually wrong in every regard. Bach never was blind, even in his latest years he needed an assistance in order to write and read scores, because his eyesight got worse, but he never lost his eyesight entirely.

    I play as much Baroque/classical guitar as I can, I was not formally trained for long before playing electric guitar in a band, but I do know that Mr Henderson's ability is incredible and hard won. His technique makes me think -
    This stuff must be so easy to play......
