Gavotte

I have neither a classical guitar nor a classical technique, so I've just done a little jazzy improvisation around this melody - which is the first theme from the Gavotte in J.S. Bach's 3rd lute suite. Even in this slim fragment, you can see why JSB is The Man: cool melody, good bass line and simple but neat chord substitution (G for Em, G7 for Dm, C for Am) in the 2nd half of the theme.

You can get the tab for the original version of this theme from my website, under the "tabs" link.

Main chords:
Am / Dm / Am / / / E / Am / E / / /
C / G7 / Am / G / Am / E / Am / / /
