Adam Rafferty - J.S. Bach Prelude in E - Solo Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

http://www.adamrafferty.com/freetabs - Free lessons, tabs and more!


Hey Gang! Hope you enjoy this. It's one of my favorite Bach pieces -
the Prelude in E from the 4th lute suite.

This I believe was originally written for violin and adapted by Bach
for keyboard (played with a lute sound) and then also organ.


Enjoy!!!

Hey Adam. As ever you have the dynamics and flow of a true master. Truly inspirational. I was wondering what mic you're using on this? I have a few vids up of my tunes but they were done using a digital camera and need to upgrade my set up to camcorder and a decent mic. I have an SE condenser but was wondering if you have any thoughts on other/better options. Check my vids too if you get the chance. Peace Out. G

Adam, where do you record these videos? The reverb of the room sounds so beautiful!

[crescentridge]

@MrStrangemeadowlark Ha ha!!! The reverb of "Garageband" strikes again! I usuallu use 2 - a long & a short one...

[louverrone]

That was so damn good!

How long did it take you to get this wonderful five and a half minute piece memorized?

[crescentridge]

@louverrone Been playing it for 20 + years...still working on it!!!

I was always intimidated by this song because of its tempo, but hearing it played slow, I think it sounds even better. Your technique and emotion is phenomenal. Can't wait to give this song another shot.

HEY ADAM! (sorry - I just wanted to say that ;) great!

@crescentridge, Thanks for that Adam, just having a read of it just now. Is that just one NT5 you're using without the zoom or are the H4 and the other NT5 hiding somewhere off camera. I'm going to start experimenting and have a few other suggestions to try out as well. To be fair to the canon camera I recorded my videos on, it surprisingly could have been a lot worse considering. The opinions and advice of a true Jedi like yourself are always appreciated. Cheers dude. G
