Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 . Hi Nijwm. I'm currently using a different fingering in that I play the F at the higher octave on the 5th string with my little finger (4) and use a 1st finger barre on the top 3 strings.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Four @Bart Versteeg That's wonderful Bart. I've attempted this piece a number of times but never persevered with it. Well done and thanks for sharing. I'll put it back on my 'to do' list!

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 @Neil Macmillan Just to add to what Neil is saying, firstly if you follow the score all of the bass notes should be stopped after the first beat (there is a 'rest' on beat 2) and so I think if this…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 @Blaise Laflamme Thank you for clarifying this for me Blaise. Very much appreciated - sometimes figuring out the harmony is more of a challenge for me than playing a piece (maybe not with this one…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three @Jack Stewart Hi Jack. Just another thought. I have a feeling that these pieces weren't put together by De Visee as a suite. I think the original publication contained a number of suites and a number…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 @Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the explanation Blaise. As I said harmony (beyond the basics) is not my strong point and particularly with Bach. Just to continue the question then if you don't mind.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three @Jack Stewart Hi Jack there is no guarantee that my performance is the same as what is written -my edition may match one of those that you have! To paraphrase one of our comedy legends Eric Morecambe…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three This is the next installment of the De Visee suite. I have been away for a few days and also busy looking after our grandaughter so not had much chance to practice or to check out everyone else's…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two @Jack Stewart Thanks Jack. I have a group of fellow guitarists who meet up most weeks to play a few duets, ensemble pieces. I've tried to get them to each play a movement from this suite so we could…
