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! - Hudba
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.
@@cemtorihe was blind since childhood....
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.
Ever heard of the German Baroque lute? There are actually people living today that can play it.

ㄹㄹㄹㄹ
One of the best classical guitarist today.
Bach? Yeah, he's pretty good....
probely the bedst he is my go to when i want to hear a piece how it should sound
I did not click on this expecting to be sitting here 10 minutes later crying haha. Well done sir. Wow.
Die Musik Bach's, ist Nahrung für Seele und Geist, gerade in der heutigen Zeit ❤
I agree. czcams.com/video/nUtTfjq7CyU/video.html
What an amazing performance. I love all your Bach performances, technically and emotionally unsurpassed.
His performance, respecting the author's will and minimizing the claims and demands of players and listeners, is very good. I think that is his understanding and splendor. thank you very much.
Dear maestro, thank you for sharing this masterful performance with us
Bach is the closest thing to a divinity that I've ever heard and Drew does a phenomenal job of playing it
I heard a joke once. It was something like this. Beethoven and Mozart meet in heaven. They ask an angel where god is. She says you mean Bach. He’s over there.
Such wonderful playing! For those of us that work outside, with our hands, and are envious of those that can grow their fingernails out to fingerpick, we love watching y'all play!
nothing original, but if you really want to play prosthetic nails work miracles. You have to have the time to replace them often, but they solve the incompatibility with manual labour
I feel like somehow I slipped into the song and swim in it and dissolved with the song... I believe that guitar doesn't have any limit in expressing Bach. It is such a mature conjunction of deep understanding of life/musicality, at play with a beautiful character. You are a blessed performer. Thank you for sharing. Bravissimo!
Wow, thank you, that is a beautiful comment. I'll remember it.
its the salvia divinorum
It seemed no one has enjoyed it more than you have. Eyes closed, it seems you're just listening and someone else is playing! Amazing!
Jedno z nejlepszych nagran gitarowych, jakie slyszalem w ogole. One of the best guitar records which I have heard ever.
Simply impecable as always Drew! Was worried you havent posted for a while but it was well worth the wait! Cheers
Thank you! A long pause either means i'm making a video for another artist, or cooking up something big! Rest assured I'll keep this channel going indefinitely. I appreciate everyone's patience while I practice this material, and sometimes film it a couple of times.
Another outstanding performance that will go on for ages! Drew, you always amaze the universe with the music you are giving!❤🎉
Sooo beautiful.... And those trills are just 👌
I love the fluidity of your version-beautiful!
Most likely the best guitar performance ever of this piece of universe.
Bach is the proof that the world is in safe hands.

Classical music is a treasure trove of emotions, from the passion of a violin concerto to the serenity of a piano sonata. 🎻❤ It's a rich tapestry of feelings waiting to be explored. 🌟🎵

Thank you, Sir. Your playing, your arrangements and the sound of that guitar are beautiful and give a new desire to hear these compositions on guitar.
Lovely performance, full of soul and peace. That guitar sounds great!! Congrats.

MAGNIFICENT So inspiring
Wonderful transcription/arrangement Drew, this has got to be the best arrangement of the fugue I’ve heard to date. Your playing is, as always, simply outstanding!!
Bravo, simply beautiful!
Wonderful
Remarkable, brilliant, bright and beautiful Bach on the guitar!
just discover your channel. Outstanding work! thanks a lot!
Beautiful thank you.
Hermoso, una caricia al oido y al alma
Oh so delightful - thanks so much for posting it.
Fabulous, Drew. Thanks for sharing!
It makes me feel so serene...thank you.
You're welcome 😊
Great playing , you are one of my favourite classical guitarists
Exquisite and emotional, technically and musically brilliant. Especially the fugue. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous, as always! Really, the consistency of sound you're able to produce is an astonishing accomplishment. A great core tone along with all the gorgeous details, both broad and intricate. Thank you for this amazing performance. Lots of appreciation, from Finland
Extraordinary like always!
I’m seeing this for the first time and I’m floored….amazing bravo!!!
Magnificent playing and tone. One of the greatest recordings of this piece. The music is speaking to you! Few players have this gift. Fantastic Drew, blessed with the gift💫
Even pauses overflow with music. What a sound!
Thank you for the beautiful music
Wonderful performance, Drew! Bach's music works beautifully on your romantic-style guitar.(I've often thought, when playing (mangling!?) the 'lute' suites, that an extra string would be really helpful!)
Yes. even one extra note can make it much more manageable.
Simplesmente lindíssimo... Bravo grande Maestra
Beautiful playing and video! Really enjoyed this performance 🙌
Inspired performance. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music for free. God bless.
Stunning and Brave 😳🙀🎉
I always find this master's output incredible, he can fix my attention on pieces that I'm not that "keen" on.
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......
Enough said.
Прекрасное звучание,замечательный баланс!
Maestro, that was incredible. Your Bach is second to none. Truly outstanding and inspiring. Very impressive. A joy to listen this performance!
Just sublime. So gorgeous.
Cor blimey, what a memory, 14 mins of majestic tranquility. Bravo Sir
My daily dose of beauty. Thank you!
Gracias por tan bella interpretación!!!!! Me iluminó este día.❤
Perfeito ! Muito bom!
very good playing. nice sound and guitar
Congrats! Love it!
This is likely the best Bach guitar-playing I've seen.
Wonderful! 💕
Amazing!! astonishing!! Greatings from Brazil!
An absolutely first-class performance that does full justice to this masterpiece.
The degree of articulation this man has is next level. He commands emotion with perfect clarity, it's almost too good.
To me this is pure bliss.
Inspirationally beautiful.
Flawless version, specially the fugue. Technique is superb, but more important the phrasing and dynamics are outstanding . Absolutely loved it.
Incredible, as always.
