Bach Prelude (Ukulele)

[JCMcGee]

Why does everyone play this so fast?

It sounds like a clumsy teenager fumbling with his girlfriend in the back seat of a car, trying to get to the finish line as fast as possible....I mean, well remembered, all those notes and all.

[oGURL]

IMO Save the money for John King's book, I just bought it. It's worth the sixteen bucks or whatever.

[monoyamono]

please could you post the tabs so everyone else can learn this wonderful song on uke?

[mediaevalguitartab]

@monoyamono Hi. If interested, I'm still looking for a victim to try my ukulele/renaissance guitar arrangement of Bach's aria, Ich will dir mein Herze schenken. :^)

[monoyamono]

@mediaevalguitartab i'm not very good,but i AM interested! send me the arrangemet.

[mediaevalguitartab]

@monoyamono Brilliant! In principle, the arrangement should be available here, under the Baroque tabs page: sites.google.com/site/mediaeva­lguitar

Incidentally, I have ukulele arrangements of Bach's Agnus Dei and of Allegri's Miserere Mei available , but I haven't posted those yet. I look forward to your assessments!

[Lhs5356]

Awesome. Seriously awesome

[808hanapa]

Where are the tabs for this? can anyone tell me ive been looking for awhile. There is one in John King's book classical ukulele but i dont want to pay money.

[Ukenick]

Nice one teach! Beautiful

[MGdirector]

Cool smooth!

[alandot5]

that was incredible...VERY impressive.

[cmoore56]

What an amazing rendition. Johan Sebastian Bach is my most FAVORITE composer EVER! Thank you for this performance.

[AzumangaMusic]

AMAZING

[righthandsb]

damn. you play like a pro! very deliberate and methodical. perhaps i should take a cue from you there. that's quite an ambitious piece to attack with such a tiny weapon. :?p you've done so quite successfully. Bach is the man. keep on rockin'!

[devilmok]

dam i wish i could hv the tablature

[Optichero]

wonderful.....

[Polochonn]

[shankandbrisket]

Bravo!

[mystfire]

[SandraSweden]

So beautiful =D

[djaxoals]

holy shit this is crazy

[jmjmichael2008]

the ending is angelic. great!

[staircapades]

=o Did you have tabs for this?

Or did you simply learn it from the music sheet?

[rastagrammarian]

Is your uke tuned with the low G for this version?

[wookiefatcat]

Actually no - you can hear the high rentrant G string especially when the pedals come in around the 2:06 mark

[philami1]

Darn good show! Thank you.

[Ragnorckgorgonash]

"about this video : hmmm - maybe a bit high-brow"

no, not even close it is eclectic.

I love it, and where else am I going to hear a living version of "Bach : Prelude"

keep it coming

[mustafaahi]

relaxing tone i like it!

[netwitted]

Kudos Maestro. You may be the first to do this on the uke and it's a nice match.

[staircapades]

regards !

:-)

[UkuleleBart]

That's quite nice! Thanks!

[mKreifeldt]

Bravo! I thought this was going to be a gag until I heard your playing. I'll take Bach on a ukulele over a baroque mandolin any day. Well done.

[ShaggyPirate]

I'm a guitarist that just took up the Uke, and I'm really impressed and suprised at the versatility of it

[hirummy]

Well done.

[3yahweh3]

No aloha here. No aloha needed. Not to disparage Tiny Tim, but there is more that the Uke can do. Bach is a good start -- see the musician at the 2:01 mark. It's one of those divine moments in a Bach composition where -- no matter the instrument -- you can imagine God grinning in approval.

[Liam2scot]

Stunningly beautiful. Thank you very much.

[netwitted]

Score, BIG score!

[wwelti]

That's really cool. I like to play bach on ukulele, did you just play from a notesheet or did you make tabs?

And no need to change anything. it's great as it is.

Regards

Wilfried

[punkitonic]

thats really nice

[hackdown3]

very impressive, man, for a solo act.

[JeniHatton]

Is this where Sting got his Dowland idea? It's amazing how well it works. Well done, mate.

[robgonzo]

nice! did you transcribe that yourself or is there TAB somewhere?

[tocotodo]

I like it just the way it is.

[ukulelezaza]

nice, but too clean i think. add variation by some strumming and chord-melody and aloha. the potential is definitely there.

[angorawol]

nice

[AlliBee]

Beautiful!

[rose101uk]

Bach on a uke! Lovely.

[ThrasherAleX]

wow thats cool man.
