Bach - Prelude In Dm - Acoustic Guitar Solo\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tbwhek38wXs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/\" title=\"Learn to Play Guitar Online\">Online Guitar Lessons<\/a> from Totally Guitars<br \/>\nThis fascinating Prelude by Bach has captivated me since I was playing some of his music on the baroque lute, back in the 1970s. My lute playing days are probably over, having pretty much settled into playing the acoustic guitar with nails, but every once-in-awhile I like to revisit this piece.<br \/>\nThe arrangements I found always left something to be desired as far as I was concerned, with a few measures seeming inconsistent with some of the rest. Many used hammer-ons in a few measures near the end that particularly seemed out of place. Most of those concessions made the piece a little easier to play but didn&#8217;t get the sound I remember from my old Walter Gerwig recording. I reworked those, along with a few earlier ones that had many possibly ways of fingering, and finally came up with an arrangement I am happy with.<br \/>\nI would guess that most of these have been found by other guitarists in the past but I usually like to take it upon my self to arrange, or rearrange things in the interest of being as true to the original as possible. This frequently makes the piece very difficult to play, but in this case I think I found a solution to the hammer-on problem that is easier, as well as musically more consistent.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":3500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2523],"tags":[156,2789,1609,175,5,20,1583,29,2790],"class_list":["post-491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neil-hogan-acoustic","tag-acoustic-guitar-lessons","tag-consistent-guitar-playing","tag-js-bach","tag-learn-to-play-guitar","tag-neil-hogan","tag-online-guitar-lessons","tag-prelude-in-d-minor","tag-totally-guitars","tag-walter-gerwig"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Prelude In D Minor - J.S.
