Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Derek Thank you Derek! Yeah, let's keep it going. I'm aiming to post at least another update in the next week or so. I'd been trying the first 10 bars or so for a while,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Hi everyone, I've tried to play through the entire piece albeit a few missed notes and some clumsy transitions. I was inspired (or tried to copy :) by Riccardo Gallen's rendition of this piece in the…

Re: What is your favorite guitar practice hack?
I'll start by saying what I need to get rid of- often I'm not laser focused and impatient with my progress. It can happen perhaps because you really want to play the final piece in your wishlist.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@martin I was talking of the 4th string, the bass notes (I play the Bb with the pinky and the G with the 1st finger, suits my hand better). Apologies for the unsynced video and bad quality (i need to…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@martin I'm also using the same fingering ( with the pinky) in the first chord. However, in the 2nd chord, I use the pinky for the A# and the 1st finger for the G.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Eric Phillips That's so beautiful, Eric. I could really feel the gloomy melancholic nature of this prelude, in a beautiful way. About the rest, well, if we're being very pedantic,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme Watching him play it in the original key of Cmin made the Dmin feel an inferiority complex
. Cmin is so much more sombre and moody and much more suited to the piece, I think.…

@Derek I'm also doing the same, I think. The sonority is just as beautiful even if we play there.

@Derek @Neil Macmillan Thank you for the suggestions. Yeah, I think playing the CEA with the 4th finger is perhaps the optImal solution, if one can pull it off.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme @David Thank you for your views. That chord I referred to, as of now I'll just play an octave higher as a compromise as my finger or technique is not developed enough to play as is…

@Eric Phillips Back in the day, I was desperate to play the intro to 'Stairway to heaven' and play 'Layla' and 'Tears in heaven'

Re: What is the piece that changed your guitar journey?
@Eric Phillips I wasn't aware of this piece until I joined TB and heard the bass line in one of Mircea's lessons. As soon as I heard it, I just fell in love. I'm still trying to learn it ever since.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week One
@don Beautifully played, really soothing and sweet for the ears and the heart. This piece reminded me of Cavatina for some reason.
