The beautiful music of Bach (a medley on guitar)

[bbunters]

Hi Jeroen, thanks for all the great videos. I just purchased a Larrivee OM-50 and I looking to install a pickup system on it, could you let me know what you're using for the guitar you're playing in this video? It sounds very nice! Cheers!

[bboots100]

This was very beautiful and soothing. These Bach pieces lend themselves very well to guitar. Nicely done.

[flyfifer51]

Bach on guitar - superb - Bach on guitar played by this gentleman... lost for words.

[ashjacksoul]

Fab.

[Nadianva]

you did it great!, I love this music..... reminds me good memories.... the most beautiful ones.

[omegafilming]

I was bored so I searched for

beautiful music... the universe smiles upon me, today.

[mtgrigsby]

@omegafilming As did I. We are fortunate :)

[EliasOidipous]

@mtgrigsby

As did I :)

[godofbutter369]

I once thought that yo yo ma could never be beat when it came to this song. I stand corrected you make this beautiful song even better.

[ToothCentral]

thanks man, that was beautiful

[THRIVINGinCHAOS]

In the vast perfection of the cosmos, the guitar was created specifically for individuals like yourself to play Bach's music. They are the perfect match for each other, and musicians like you are the last key in the triumvirate of flawless harmonious accord.

I pray someday I'll be at least 1/100th the guitar player you are.

[domoskull]

Es bonito escuchar esa cancion,pero es mas bello como sale de tus manos y de la guitarra ESA misma cancion. excelente!

[JohnyJrWhite]

why youtube count only my views?

[linamra]

Sorry, but I am piano's teacher and some notes are wrong.

Hugs from Brasil:)

[GuitarFrEaK1824]

I can't stop playing your minuet. Did you improvise that yourself? I love the sound, and i really like the tuning. I had never used that tuning before i watched this video, and i haven't taken it out for 3 weeks. I love your playing...its orgasmic

THUMB'S UP!

~Matt~

[uptheironsfromlondon]

How lng did it take you to learn all this!! Marvellous work :)

[Heronymusic]

@uptheironsfromlondon Hi , this melted together with pieces I played and learned over the last years (2 or 3) Thanks Jeroen

[8806196487]

what is the name of the song from 0:45

[Coppertunes]

@8806196487 Prelude in C Major, from the Well-tempered clavier

[Heronymusic]

@8806196487 Prelude in C (More info is in the sidebar)

[Mpoiuz]

Hi Jeroen,wow, really a great arrangement and excellent performence. Sounds really beautiful on your steelstring. Great work!!! Congrats!!

best wishes - uli

[meadish]

That is sublime. Thank you for sharing your music.

[ispyaspy]

Very nice clean sound, love it thanks.

[Chris51]

wot guitar and strings n amp r u using?

[Heronymusic]

@Chris51 I play a Larrivee dreadnought guitar , I use a Ksm 27 shure mic directly into the computer. Best regards Jeroen

[Chris51]

@Heronymusic - Thank you Jeroen. While I've not played a Larrivee, it's my impression having read a number of reviews that they are a lovely guitar. I myself play a Martin and an early 80's Ovation. Haven't touched my electric guitars for a while. I sometimes feel that the older one gets the more mellow you become and you tend to gravitate towards more introspective and better constructed music. Just my take on things. Have a great day. Keep up the great work.

[rsayags]

can i get the tabs or music sheet of Menuet in A minor please??

cool..

[Heronymusic]

@rsayags Sorry I don't tabs for it. Cheers Jeroen

[Chris51]

Just fabulous man

[ItsEmmalicious]

this is soooo prettty!

[aronvirginas]

@MrBavelaar Metal can also be very technical, it just requires a different technique then fingerstyle. I play both, depending on my mood.

[rsayags]

O.O



[koutsileks]

Ki cara Foda e esse Velho!..

O.O

[chemicalsweet13]

simply enchanting.

[KlodeB92]

Absolutely brilliant !!! I enjoyed the choice you made and the perfect interpretation .

Could you tell me the origin of 'trio to minuet' at 2.43 .A suite ? I have been playing it (poorly )for years : ) .All my congratulations .Claude

[diegorobful]

lo que se llama tocar la guitarra; desde Córdoba-Argentina le mando un abrazo enorme y un agradecimiento por tanta belleza; si algún día pasa por ésta ciudad no se olvide de tocar la puerta. Diego R.

[swono]

@MrBavelaar Calling metal techniqueless is wrong.If it was techniqueless , than it wasnt metal that you played

[TB163]

Very well played. Thank you.

[SingAnadenada]

You 're an angel playing guitar..  I can't stop listening :)

[fracturex123456]

this is a great video man, but you look like a jack ass. get a nylon string.

[gimpyjwilliams]

@fracturex123456 you sound like a jackass bach can be played in steel string or any other instrument

[Dan1loBr]

wow cool xD I was expecting some of his 'dark' stuff, but you put many of his most beautiful pieces together :D

I liked it a lot ^^

[sieteender]

Wow!

[pekkaification]

@MrBavelaar techinqueless metal. yack! grunge !! :) its not wasted if you at least play something :)

[Woody34]

@pekkaification

Metal actually has technique, a real guitarist would know that. Palm muting, arpeggios, tapping, sweeps, legato....... ring any bells?

This music is great though, very calming.

[bringbradabeer]

beautiful man, I really enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work!!

[HillsongFan]

thank you for this precious musical gift.. ;)

[HillsongFan]

so beautiful... I can´t stop listening.. ;)

[Heronymusic]

@MrBavelaar Hi I also played in punkrock bands for years! I play this style for about 5 years now with a lot of joy. Cheers Jeroen

[Heronymusic]

@1DerekRubin1 Hi yeah it's a steel stringed guitar. Bye Jeroen

[jeevst]

[marimdq]

[pinkfloydrule27]

[mitchtheguitarguy]

Beautiful

[mjchael]

Absolutely brilliant! I like it so much, that I would like to emulate your playing.I'll start practicing.

[CACSPEEDY]

Congratulations for the beautiful arrangement. The sound is wonderful, perfect.

[TheTrueNicki]

Very nice Medley. Do you play these pieces of music only on steel-string guitars or do you use classical guitars as well?

Regards from Germany,

Nicki

[Heronymusic]

@TheTrueNicki Thank you very much Nicki! I also play them on classical guitar. I have video of "Air" on classical guitar. Cheers Jeroen

[Chris91575]

Bach is my classical favourite and you honored him with your perfect interpretation!!! Thanks for this work!!!

[ApTicToHaX]

Браво!!

[Nigelxman]

Wow dude, you are incredibly talented. Beautiful peice. Can I ask what amp you're playing through? Cheers.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to that, amazing work!

[TheSecondhour]

one word......BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

[willscooper]

you did one fantastic job, absolutely great. i really appreciate your work on that! great job.

[GerryBolger]

I'll be god damned. That was unreal. Dont know much about classical music but seeing this fella doin it makes it seem very accessable, almost easy... Keep it up bud

[fransgreg]

You should play those pieces one at a time, entirely. They each deserve that, and you surely would beautiful takes ! Who's with me ?

[SuperBluehaze]

absolutely beautiful; you have mastered the soft touch, and the silences that highlight the notes. Beautiful, delights the heart, and reminds it of home.

[4tomhenry]

Very Nice ! I love classical music very much...you help carry it into our lives here

[freeskimammoth4949]

Beautiful, simply beautiful work. Prelude from cello swuite no. 1 was unbelivible. good work

[DEATHMANM]

o fuck!!!!!!!!! zajebiście!!!!! WOW

[Frfrei2]

Nice playing! Sublime...

[BellaOcean]

Your music is sublime. .. Continue to play You played with your heart. It's so beautiful and heavenly ..

[rehfeldttw]

It sure sounds better with guitar.

Cheers!

[TaylorJonasLover]

oh my goodness this is incredible

so beautiful

[kev2594]

I wish I could play classical, this is really awe inspiring. I wonder how you learned this all.

[lgslash]

WOW MARVELOUS

[VxTran008]

Wow, amazing medley. I have to say your interpretation on bach's cello suite prelude on guitar is the best I have heard anywhere. Most players play it too quickly, but you combine the right of amount of delicacy in there.

Great job,

-Vinh

[GonzaJ01]

A1+++

[laketroutdeepdown]

In addition to the especially intimate tone you provide, I appreciate the slower tempo you used for the Cello Suite Prelude. Cello, guitar or mandolin, it often sounds rushed when played.

[tuckasamms]

aaahhhhh! Breathtaking!!

[dollly171]

Relaxing-----V__V----:)

[hearkenstwings]

Beautiful fresh air!

[zizikelizike]

can't get enough of it!

[VenusAndMars1]

Wonderful Jeroen, really great , emotional playing!!!

Hi Jeroen my friend, beautiful work nice dynamics and nice color of your guitar.

Thanks friend...

Toni

[marinner125]

Ever thought of posting your compositions on itunes? I'd Gladly buy!

[Heronymusic]

Yeah I really must do that , to be honest I'm to lazy to find out how it works... Maybe it's prety easy ...I have to figure it out in summer! So it's coming up. Cheers Jeroen

[marinner125]

Try Tuncore! Look it up, and many famous now artist use it, many songwriters and soloist.

[girldecksrsexy]

are tabs available for this or no

[Heronymusic]

Hi I learned some basics from these books: J.S. Bach guitar tab classics (alfred publisher) and fingerpicking Bach (Hal leonard) , but I kind of arranged them to my own thing with different tuning.

These books are great! Bye Jeroen

[bmd900]

awesome..

[seagulls6LH]

very nice

[MrChenMusic]

Beautiful music, such sensitive playing... you are a really great musician... Thank you for sharing.

[CKChardrocka]

[BirdmanWayne94]

Such a beautiful medley... excellent playing and excellent quality.

[staffansvahn]

Grandioso!

This is truly wonderful! Thank you for this treat.

[Supremelord]

awesome as always Jeroen! Greetings, Marc

[dima666]

Hey Jeroen! Its very good as always, I love it!

Cheers

[HanzP]

Hi Jeroen,

you really took the biscuit with this awesome medley. All these melodies, great! (I only missed "Bourrée") And you play it perfectly and with stunning feeling.

5 stars though worth more!

Greets

Hansel

[Heronymusic]

Thanks a lot Hansel! Yeah I played a lot more tunes of Bach , but I thought I only picked the ones that were in the key of C (Jesu, Joy... exepted) so I can make some better connections between the songs. I'm thinking of I'll making 2 more in the key of G and D cause there are so many great pieces and there will Bourree be in.

All the best Jeroen

[ericdrijvergitarist]

Amazing

[crescentridge]

Also- for an audience that may not be willing to sit through a whole piece, this type of medley is wonderfiul.

[crescentridge]

Wow!!! Jeroen - Qwesomely musical! Mic'd guitar or direct???

[Heronymusic]

Thanks a lot Adam! I have it Mic'd (there's a wire that's leads to a tuner) Cheers Jeroen

[Shaiway]

Beautiful !

[christianamagic]

By listening to your music... Can tell that you are very talented! :)
