This is my take on a Bach piece. Not sure if it's correct, and don't care too much to be honest. Tab/sheet music here:

  • Do you people know anything about Bach, or the Baroque period in general?

    During the Baroque period, composers EXPECTED performers to adopt their piece and make it their own. No, there is not a specific way to play Bach - because Bach didn't specify. He gave us the notes and the rhythm. The dynamics and timbre are left to the performer.

    Classical period and Romantic period? Totally different story.

  • Well Bach wrote it for a cello, if you hadn`t noticed yet. This is a bassguitar, so it is by definition already not being played "in a precise way". Music is art, and as long as it sounds good, you can tap, slap, whatever - bite the strings if you want to.

  • That was beautiful, man. All the harmony flooding in with that was just stunning.

  • I like the bass sustain that comes from the tapping. Very nice.

  • Nice...love the different take.

  • This is why I want to play bass.

  • i. love. this... period!!!

  • this is really hard to play with the teeth, I don't recommend it

  • @exaltedone get a grip and chill out mate

  • @exaltedone

    Correct. Well done.

  • This is a sick interpretation! Love it! It not quite correct, and I don't care too much to be honest either - many of the liberties you took worked perfectly, but there were just one or two 'wrong' notes that I'm sure you realize could be corrected. I improv on Bach lots on the violin, and as long as you do it 'in line' with key and tempo to a certain extent, it sounds good.

    I love the haunting/ambient mood this gives. It was rich in what most versions of this lack; expression.

  • love the rancid shirt
