Bach Violin Concerto in E Major (3rd movement) on Mandolin, Guitar & Bass (BWV 1042)

Johann Sebastian Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major, 3rd movement (Allegro assai) - BWV 1042.

I don't own any violins, violas or cellos (and more importantly: nor can I play them!) But I do own a mandolin, acoustic guitar and bass!

Missing from the video are 2 other mandolins (violins), and another acoustic guitar (the cello, which just doubles up the electric bass part). Apart from the solo mandolin and the bass, all tracks are recorded 3 times...so thats 14 tracks...my own mini-orchestra!

That's amazing. Brilliant quality. Is this a shure sm58?

[bobfresco]

@heeelga thanks.

Nah, it's a cheapo version: Shure PG58. I use an SM57 now (will probably get a better mic than that in the future too).

Thats great playing and video editing. Excellent stuff. The mandolin looks like an Eastman?

[bobfresco]

thanks kosigus!

It is indeed an Eastman..MD505 (cheapest model I believe)...but highly recommended!

I'll have another one of these videos up in the next 24 hours!

[walterbrnrd]

It's very original and it follows exactly the Bach's style. Very very good!!!!!!!

I love it! It shows that you can play classical music using both traditional (mandolin and acousitc guitar) and modern (bass guitar) instruments.

Superb, my friend! A quite rare piece to hear, and all done by one person. This piece was featured many years ago in Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five"

Congrats!
