Bach: Minuets I & II (BWV 1007) classical guitar

Minuets I & II from Bach's first cello suite (BWV 1007), arranged for classical guitar.

I've decided to start getting some Bach repertoire up to a level where I would not be ashamed for the world to see it on youtube. After finishing this one, I have a renewed respect for those of you posting high quality home performances!

The guitar is a Kenny Hill Munich. Dubious recording quality brought to you by the MacBook's built-in iSight & microphone.

a great performance...if I may make a few comments not intending to criticize. One, time to get some better recording gear, you have the chops, why waste them? Then, you really settled in to the piece when you hit the minor minuet...if you could play the whole thing with that expression and tempo, it would be awesome. Everyone tends to play this too fast.,but it's a minuet, an 18th century dance. Stately, elegant and slow. I hope I have not offended, you have wonderful music ability.

@robertchallen Thanks Robert, your constructive comments are certainly welcome here.

The second minuet is one of the best versions I've heard on any instrument!

[DrMikero]

That's very kind, thanks!

Very nice job. I was wondering, where did you obtain your tabs for this? If you did use tabs. I'm not yet entirely proficient with sheet music to trust my reading skills :P.

[DrMikero]

I used the tabs on the classtab website as a starting point, then changed the fingerings/positions in about half the piece to make more sense to my fingers..
