there is no better interpreter of music on the guitar.

[1685JS1985]

The piece (written for lute) is in the key of E flat major. The guitar transcription which David playes is in the key of D major as almost every guitar transcription of this piece because it's much easier to play. But when you use a capo in the first fret you can play it in D major and you hear E flat major.

this is actually a greg byers guitar that david played for a time.

[tomasemilio]

it's really annoying, I've been trying to find a better interpretation of this piece, but david russell really plays it perfectly, so smoothly, so him. he flies through the guitar

If you really want to copy someone, this is the guy, really.

@cisium true

Really beautiful

@robertchallen

The composer wanted this piece to be en Eb, the difference between keys change the brightness. In this case it is a bit higher, it makes the guitar sound more like a lute.

[robertchallen]

what difference does it make whether it is played in D or Eb?

[classicon2009]

David was born for Bach, impressive.

I once ran across a version that was printed in Eb, and called for the 6th string to be tuned down a half-step. It's a waste of time though, no baroque musician would think twice about changing the key. BTW, Bach never wrote anything for lute, but just arranged existing works. This one was written for keyboard.

@1685JS1985 I find the capo a very interesting tool, you can use on some strings and leave some open, or change it in the middle of a song, like Tommy Emmanuel on the welsh tornado. I think everything is valid if you want to get a certain sound from the guitar. I don´t know why people, especially classical guitarist (Which I am, quite a bit but not so much) reject the capo, it´s a remarkable device! don´t you think? best wishes! Facundo (Arg)
