Complete Bach Cello Suites arranged for Plectrum Guitar

[RJVB]

Question is, what's this doing in the classical guitar section

[Aiq]

OK, I got the ebook.

One question, where are the chord symbols?

KIDDING!

[Rob MacKillop]

I nearly fainted there!

[alltunes]

Kidding aside….there are analysis out there where folks assign chords to the Cello Suites

As part of my rehab, I'm slowly reading through this book, and was appalled to see major oversight:

3rd Suite: I arranged it in E, which suits the guitar better than C. All was fine until I came to the last movement, the Gigue, which worked much better in D. I therefore wrote the Gigue out in D, and indicated for a capo to be used on the second fret...but that indication seems to have got lost between various drafts going back and forth to the proof readers. So, please write CAPO II at the beginning of the gigue, and while you are at it, drop the 6th string to D. There are passages that require the fifth string open as a pedal, hence the change of key.

I hope that's clear. Any questions, just ask.


Also Page 69, measure 13: the note before the E#should be c#, not d.

I've already raised these with Mel Bay, and they have changed the scores for the next print run. Any other errors, do let me know asap.


It happens.

Thanks Rob, I made those changes in my book. I found it easy to turn that D to a D flat. Making it into a C# would have involved some white out and more artistic ability that I possess!

Db sounds just as good to these ears That allemande (6th suite) is an amazing piece. I've managed to memorize 90% of it this last week, which amazes me these days, but I still make little mistakes here and there. I hope to make a video of it someday.
