   Hi, there!

The first Bach lesson. Bach is one of the greatest composers, ever! Although Bach never wrote a piece for the guitar, there are tons of his pieces that sound great on the guitar.

In this lesson I would like to pick up Bourree from a suite he wrote for the lute, an ancestor of the guitar. The entire piece is written in two parts, the upper voice and the lower voice. That is, two different melodies are going on at the same time. This is called counter point.

Here is the first half of the piece. I will pick up the last half in the next lesson.
Enjoy!

I really like this one Kosei. I'm looking forward to the second half. I have not played classical in a very long time and I need to work on my right hand coordination. This is great and sounds fantastic! Thank you!

Am I playing it faster on You Tube?
I wasn't aware. Maybe I was rushing a bit on You Tube, because it is always hard to play the whole piece without making a (big) mistake...
But you are right this could be a little faster.

No you are not rushing Kosei You always play smoothly ,
I think after one have mastered the piece,tempo can be fine tuned so as to express his/her feelings isn't it?

I meant "line" by "voice".
There are higher melody line that starts on the first string, and lower melody line staring on the sixth string at the same time.
I am suggesting to sing both melodies (not at the same time, whichi is impossible) as you learn the piece.
