This is not good interpretation of this variation. You play staccato and you destroy the three voices of the counterpoint. It is possible in the first to play like that but not here.

[AdamFulara]

@MrGuitarcat I recommend Rosalyn Tureck book "An introduction to Bach playing". Good for you.

I'm incredibly curious, how well does that instrument balance? You basically have two necks worth of weight on a regularly sized body. I guess the upper horn is extended out fairly far for good strap-button placement though.

[AdamFulara]

This instrument is well balanced. Much better than some single neck Gibsons :). This is REK patent.

JIZZED IN MAH PANTS!!!!!!!

I just missed the full repetitions he played half music in fact.

@Shredder665 8 finger tapping, not finger picking.

@MrGuitarcat Hey, guess what? This fool can play pretty much any fucking piece he wants in a way that you probably can't. Who's to say a piece is accurate when there was no tempo or standard of dynamics at the time if I'm not mistaken (probably am). You destroy me in finger picking, but this guy probably butt rapes you in finger picking.

hes good...............

@MrGuitarcat

You are easily the most pompous douche to ever pick up a guitar. You come on to this guys video and talk shit for what? To prove that you know more about music than someone else? Or are you butthurt that this guy is way better than you? Learn how to be polite with your critique, moron. "you destroy the three voices of the counterpoint" hah. "destroy" is hardly the word to describe how he plays this. You are the saddest, rude son of a bitch I've ever seen. Seek attention elsewhere.

Actually, to me, it sounds a bit like the style of the Wendy Carlos Bach performances.

On another note I want to see an epic battle of the guitar faces between MrGuitarcat and AdamFulara

[V5Blanks]

I'm sure there are plenty of satisfactorily "faithful" versions of this piece already available, so I don't quite understand the problem. This is his take on the piece. It's perhaps different from the original notation but it's also on an instrument that Bach could probably never have even imagined. I see no problem with the player interpreting the music as he sees fit. In fact, it would be rather boring if everyone played strictly as written.

@MrGuitarcat You're just upset because your guitar looks like a cyclops Homer Simpson.

[MrGuitarcat]

@AdamFulara Sorry but any interpret of variations don't keep the duration of the notes. The melody in semiquavers can be articulate staccato as you want, but the long notes must be sound all the duration. With a harpsichord it's a trouble sometimes....

It's very important to notice this point because this is one of the manner to bach and his contemporary to create a harmonique tension hard for the ear of the listeners of the 17/18 century.
