Bouree in E Minor (Bach)

Check out my second try playing this piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60hPfdB9Pbo

Tabs are available here: http://www.box.net/shared/tk4o79jr1i

This is by far the hardest piece i've ever tried to play on ukulele. I'm not too happy with this recording, but i can't really get it better at the moment. Maybe i'll try to play it again some months later.

The piece is tabbed in e minor (as it should be), but for ADF#B tuning. Alas, this ukulele sounds better GCEA, so i played in a wrong key ;)

does anyone ever ask you to cut your fingernails? a bunch of people say that and it pisses me off >:(

[wwelti]

@igotsmoshedify Usually not. They're not *that* long anyway. Having them too long slows my playing down, so I have to trim them at least once a week.

Wilfrid, I've watched some of your videos here and on vimeo. I'd be very interested in your opinion on and interpretation of a tab I arranged originally for ukulele tuned with a low G. Bach's aria, Ich will dir mein Herze schenken. Under Baroque tabs at sites.google.com/site/mediaeva­lguitar I really liked the ukulele but I had to give it up because playing it started hurting my hand.

[wwelti]

@mediaevalguitartab Very interesting. Sorry that I don't play Low-G, but there are other ukulelists who do. Too bad you can't play it yourself. Get well soon.

I tried the tab in the descriptions once, I couldn't even go through the first couple of notes... quite the challenge, but I liked it :) Which brings me to my next point... Is it just me, or is the link broken T T ?

[wwelti]

@KyleForShort Aloha! Yes, it's not the easiest piece. I'm still practicing it. You see I already posted a second try. Yes, looks like the link was broken. I upped the tab to box.net now, and changed the link accordingly.

Regards, Wilfried

I can never listen to this song the same anymore because of Tenacious D lol

[MEYOKOillustrations]

How people can be more interested in his fingernails than the beauty of the music ...whats the problem with this world :(

[ciidala]

Very nice I like the variation..

[mediaevalguitartab]

@wwelti Thanks. I like the ukulele because it is, as you mentioned, the modern equivalent of a Renaissance guitar. The Bach tab works well on the guitar too, so it's not totally unplayable. All the best.
