Bach Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude

My (far from perfect) rendition of a classic. While I prefer a quicker tempo (a la Rostropovich), I do tend to rush a bit. Sorry - I really don't do well in front of a camera, haha.

After trying this piece in both G and D (standard tuning), I decided to have a go at it in its native tuning; the bottom four strings of my guitar are tuned to C-G-D-A. The top two are just there to look pretty.

Hope you enjoy!

This is awesome man. Great job. I wanna learn it this way. I've seen it played a bunch with classical fingering, but, even though picking seems like the hard way, it's what I wanna go for. Maybe I'll try to learn both. Can I find the tab for this in that guning anywhere? I seem to keep running into versions that just use drop D.

@GoatShanty Thanks! You might want to search for the original cello music online; that's where I started. There's probably a tab somewhere out there for this tuning, but the piece is written in just one clef (bass) so it's not that bad once you get the hang of reading the notation.
