[trollfacelotsofshit]

tenacious D brought me here

[andromachis]

great playing...thanks

[cam18J]

me gusta mucho esta cancion que genial

[Yodia2]

No me gusta: 16

A que clase de ignorante no le gusta esta música.

[TuT4]

@Yodia2 jajaj muy cierto como mierda no les gusta

[DieMenschMaschine85]

Damn, I left the cooker on.

[serhumano1]

That was fast, very much!

Bourree's a medieval group dance... Imagine that... It's impossible.

[Fishsticks187]

Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud. He is more than a man, He's a shiny golden God! -Tenacious D

[rabidfish101]

Jimmy Page quotes this in the solo of Heartbreaker, on How the West Was Won. Badass.

[Phenomenon58]

@rabidfish101 Unexpected when he just pulls that out the bag, well, not unexpected, because its 'Jimmy Page!! But it sounded badass.

[MrLarry0478]

@rabidfish101 Zeppelins one of my all time favourites, but jimmy page was one of the biggest rip off guitarists of all time... most of Led Zeppelins riffs were direct ripp offs from a guy named Davy Gray from the 50s era. Check him out, his stuffs not as energetic as Jimmy page, but it's still good, quite raw.

[twiggypeerzingz]

tee hee....Jethro tull :D

[josemontenegro777]

excuse my ignorance, is this a recording of a guitar or a lute?

[jeremmy78]

Cant you see he's the man let me hear you applaude he's a shining golden god (8)

[Zachary1234567890Mon]

cant you see hes the man, let me hear you applaud he is more than hes a shinny golden god!

[Dgamer21]

CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S THE MAN LET ME HEAR YOU APPLAUD, HE IS MORE THAN A MAN HE'S A SHINY GOLDEN GOD!!!!

[warmongerpro]

My phone is baroque, pleae call bach later.

[EdwardCullenLovr]

Thumbs up if you only searched this to see if it was like Blackbird. :P

[MyDreamside]

@EdwardCullenLovr yes the inspiration for the bachbird or blackbird whatever

[omarlev]

@EdwardCullenLovr yes i did hhaha

[TheFpuff]

This was the inspiration for the song, Blackbird.

[PoopsHD]

Tenacious D

[igotsmoshedify]

well then...i really want a lute now...

[Sphereal]

Paganini owns.

[HelderMendozaIV]

@Sphereal

It isn't a race.

[MyNameIsBenneth]

Oh, THIS is the song I couldn't recognize in the 'Tenacious D' film. Awesome.

[stefsss66]

i hate this composition,no offence but it is not my taste,by the way i think this was played on guitar.

[Kurtly1967]

@stefsss66 yes, but bach wrote it for lute

[alitllebitemo]

"Can't you see he's the man, let me hear your apload

he is more than a man he's a shiny golden god!"

[Jlemay117]

@alitllebitemo

Tenac! But you spelled applaud wrong. Ious D

[alitllebitemo]

@Jlemay117 Well if you don't remember how something is spelled you just have to guess ey? :)

[Jlemay117]

@alitllebitemo

ye

[TheLivingHeiromartyr]

thumbs up if it annoys you how people only know about Bouree from Tenacious D and Toccata and Fugue from The Phantom of the Opera

[Funtokill414]

Jimmy Page.

[TOHOFIEND54]

Thumbs up if Jethro Tull's cover brought you here!

[lilkevin123456789]

@TOHOFIEND54 Nope who is jethro

[TOHOFIEND54]

@lilkevin123456789 prog rock band. They cover bach every once in a while. Their version has a jazz flute for the main instrument.

[Brjostabarn]

where can i buy a lute thats not too expensive say under $200?

[AmbassadorSpock]

@Brjostabarn @Brjostabarn try craigslist - you may have to get shipping. Also, madolincafe . com had some forums with ideas! Happy hunting!

[CabbatheHot]

Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud... :D

[FrancoVerite]

@CabbatheHot

He is more than a man, he's a shiny golden god!

[haaatz]

No worries mate didn't mean to point you out!

[haaatz]

Aren't there 3 syllables in sarcasm?

[AmbassadorSpock]

@haaatz yup, you're totally correct! Egg on my face!

[casperes0912]

I live on johan Sebastian Bach straße

[metalhed13001]

uhh, isnt sarcasm 3 syllables?

[AmbassadorSpock]

@metalhed13001 yup. What a dope I am - D'OH!

[aalexxanderr]

Merci beaucoup.

[musicmydrug10]

I love this classical guitar piece. It's soothing & smooth and it takes me back to my childhood, when my father introduced myself and my siblings to classical music. He also introduced us to the music of Led Zepplin and The Beatles. I have a deep appreciation for all types of music, but guitar and specifically classical guitar holds a special key in my heart. Even though this was posted in 2007 it will ring true for hundreds of more years to come.. It's classical, it's timeless....

[Neonblue84]

Geile musik von Bach, wenn ich dieses Lied höre bekomme ich Gänsehaut. Schön schaurig^^.

[uzn88]

Blackbird by the Beatles (even though it's simple, it is beautiful) was inspired by this masterpiece!

[opplayer84]

Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin always played this during Heartbreaker solos.

[cobuncu]

@opplayer84 when????? in wath part??

[Halfbee69]

How could 12 people dislike this?

[carnagegerman]

Happy Birthday Maestro..danke for everything

[CyberSodomy]

KG with a wig on...

0:24

[guitargoddess2016]

I'm learning to play this song right now

[vaibanez17]

During the BBC performance by Led Zeppelin way back in 1969 when they played Heartbreaker, after Page got done with the solo he played a bit of this before going back into the song's actual solo to end the song. Had always wondered what classical piece it was he was doing...

[mynewrisingsun]

@Jetluffyq8 lmfao

[jamirosmajicrocks]

this also was an inspiration for blackbird.

[vaibanez17]

@jamirosmajicrocks There are really a whole number of songs that use broken G, Am, C progressions from Collective Soul stuff to Mason Williams and even Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's pretty common and I think it did come from old Classical patterns definitely.

[voodooenglishman]

i know this as the lick that jimmy page sometimes play live on heartbreaker

[loserkid182lr]

Jimmy Paige played part of this song during the solo of Heartbreaker in concert sometimes :)

[Croner1]

@loserkid182lr Except Jimmy didn't really play it all that well. His version is a bit sloppy.

[TheFigueroa007]

One of the greatest guitar compositions ever made.

[debonnaireguy]

I'll be Bach

-Arnold Schwarzenegger

[MrGayItUp]

@debonnaireguy LMAO Your comment made my day sir.

[debonnaireguy]

@MrGayItUp you're welcome :)

[DJspin88988]

@debonnaireguy lmao! Good one haha

[lpclassic60]

@debonnaireguy Little known fact: Schwarzenegger volunteered to play the role of J.S. Bach in a school play, saying those exact words in the audition. This is where he got the line he later suggested for use in "Terminator". Okay, maybe that's not ALL true, but it's still fun to imagine.

[windowsforvista]

@lpclassic60 You had me going :P

[AWESOMEBAjS]

@debonnaireguy ZIIIIIIINGG!! xD

[iMixUrFace]

@debonnaireguy my music theory teacher during freshmen and sophomore year wore that one DRY :)

[Camicente]

That is Bach and it rocks

It's a Rock Block of Bach

That he learned in the School

Called the School of Hard Knocks

[ericskills06]

Bourree in E minor

[deeznutsthobudy]

can you please give me the tabs for this version...it is the best version i've heard and i have been trying to look for it but it seems as if no one has it?

[slice135]

@deeznutsthobudy there are youtube tutorials of this version out there though

[kiaragre]

one of the best versions!!

[yadrition]

i just learned this awesome song!

[slice135]

Slice played the bourree guitar tab!

A wild bassline appears!

Slice is stunned and can't move!

[JasonBecker85]

Bach was the first jazzist.

[strikeout1991]

@JasonBecker85

That's kind of right, I like how you can hear a walking bassline in this song

[raaraa1987]

That is Bach and it rocks

It's a rock block of Bach

That he learned in the school

Called the school of hard knocks!

[ronniehpotter]

Where did you get the score or original in this piece at 1:24?

[AZNman11111]

when it says an RCM level 6 piece does he mean an ABRSM level 6 piece?

[Mr5stevenr]

@AZNman11111 I think all the syllabusses are at about the same levels. The same piece is grade 5 ameb. (Australia)

[AZNman11111]

@Mr5stevenr

o ok. thanks for the clarification

[dalekdude180]

Lute Hero!

[richinagi]

[OnlySleeping89]

Bach n' Roll

[BasmentGuy3000]

bach's music makes me fall asleep when I'm not tired ( good stuff )

[skelitor120]

.. Does anyone realize Tenacious D just used this song as base for "Classico" and added their own lyrics?

[KH2Finatix]

@skelitor120 You win fail of the year

[skelitor120]

@KH2Finatix thank you, i try my best to act completely stupid. i notice how i look back at a comment i made only a week ago and wonder how stupid i must have been ^_^

[blarginatorisback]

@skelitor120

Everyone realizes?

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

I love it

[Antzcceltic1]

now thats genius

[SamuraiPirate88]

this song is probably one of the coolest pieces ever composed!

[drgnzach]

I wish Bach wouldnt remake Tenacious D's music.....

[christian2852]

@drgnzach lol

[metall555]

that is bach and it rocks

its a rock block of bach that he learned at the school called the school of hard knocks XD

[classicalguitarfav]

I really enjoyed the performance!

[Gundaago]

This wonderful piece from Johann Sebastian Bach is a perfect representation of clasical music, and a real pleasure to listen to...and then in the 20th Century, Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull took it, and turned this beauty into sleazy cocktail-lounge porno-jazz......as the man himself has stated.

Oh well. I absolutely love both Bach's original and Ian's twist. Both great pieces of music.

[LittleDrummerBoy239]

Why is it so short

[FUME77]

@LittleDrummerBoy239 it's so short because Bach wrote it short :D

[LittleDrummerBoy239]

@FUME77 you clever bastard

[Yeyochan]

[amicojimmy]

[TubyJan]

All music begins and ends with Bach :)

[FeceMcGee]

imagine how sick JSB would've been had they had electric guitars back then

[HitaroX]

@FeceMcGee huh?

[Misternerdhater]

this is so bad ass right here

[styleofthetiger]

isn't this a ripoff of tenacious d?

they should sue...

[judgey214]

@styleofthetiger

you are an idiot

[ver5111]

amazing !!

[aimpointclick]

is it me or does this version seem really rushed?

[John27346]

If old JS wrote a bad piece of music, I have yet to hear it.

[eyejohan]

the sound its perfect, is the best :)

[busterbone]

ah, Bach!

[AlsatianCousin]

beautifully played, much better than I have :)

[liberationarmy1]

@au574

i hop u were kidding if so lol.... if not idiot

[7nsho]

simply ... brilliant !!!

[robertschelly]

For many of us, the Tull's Bouree was the onliest classical music we ever heered (Central Illinois mid-1970s). That 'rip' turned a lot of us onto Bach!

[HerrWarja]

Could this (or these if he has written several suites for the lute) be played on a guitar? Im a great fan of Bach! :-D

[au574]

Ya Know....This Bach guy ripped this off from Jethro Tull

[Slay3r2103]

@au574 This one is better.

[Faltzwig]

@au574 An excellent troll.

[VinnieSkatesSentry]

@Faltzwig Lol, dang. That really is an excellent troll. 19 thumbs up.....

[unrealaldridgeguy]

@au574 Bloody plagiarism, I'd sue if I were Jethro Tull :o)

[skelitor120]

@au574 cept Bach came before Jethro Tull?

[tiosanbr147]

@au574 hahahaha Jethro Tull it's a wonderful band, but they ripped this off from Sebastian Bach. Just take a look at the dvd called Living with the Past from Jethro Tull

[45C11]

@tiosanbr147 you just have to look at dates ;) and believe me, au574 knew that; he used something called ironie :P

[AmbassadorSpock]

@au574 priceless! (And technically Tenacious D as well...)

[timwood1992]

@au574 um hello Johann Sebastian Bach is older than Jethro Tull. he lived in the seventeen hundreds, and wrote this song for the lute, which is an older form of stringed instrument which the guitar was based on.

[AmbassadorSpock]

@timwood1992 yes and I believe you are forgetting that au574 invented "sarcasm." I know its a big word with two syllables....a tough one, yet true.

[FRUUBIES]

@AmbassadorSpock Actually 2 syllables, mate.

[kinkyjew672]

@AmbassadorSpock Actually, I believe that the original concept of sarcasm, which is much different today, was created in 1735 Boston, England, when a gentleman ordered tea from his butler, and requested 900 divided by 32 lumps of suger.

[AmbassadorSpock]

@kinkyjew672 started in Boston, why am I not surprised... ;-)

[Toby1Music]

@timwood1992 actually id say its more like the common instrument today called a mandolin

[BGDD27]

@au574 are you shitting me? Bach is 326 years old come this march.

[Camicente]

@au574 actually from The D (JB and KG)

[snow5crash]

@au574 that's great!! and he stole the invention of the electric guitar as well!!

[amadeus5889]

@au574 And Beethoven ripped off Walter Murphy.

[6THE6BLISTER6EXISTS6]

@au574 wow you are fucking retarded. Bach was around WAY before Jethro Tull. Dumb ass.

[llxTheCmanxll]

@6THE6BLISTER6EXISTS6 omg ...you are the retard that guy is obviously joking....

[triplecrosser90]

@6THE6BLISTER6EXISTS6 idiot, jethro tull is bach's dad.

[Query17]

@triplecrosser90 trollin...........

[asd68576]

@au574 jethro tull took it from him...

[zkira67light]

@asd68576 you really dont know what sarcasm is?

[Jetluffyq8]

@au574 bach lived before jethro tull by 200 years

[therealfactor]

@Jetluffyq8 ...You're that kid in math class that raises his hand as fast as he can when the teacher forgets a negative sign, that is otherwise irrelevant. Don't you feel so smart?

[Jetluffyq8]

@therealfactor what ?

[NOOBY931]

@Jetluffyq8 HE MEANS THAT it's no matter that Bach lived before Jethro Tull, because what au574 said was fucking sarcasm, you moron. And I agree with him.

[mynewrisingsun]

@au574 (: everyone thinks youre serious :P

[THEmakaPL]

nice tune!

[GetBackJack123]

Does anyone have the sheet music for this??

[DannyBurgoyne]
