BWV 1034 Adagio (Sonata for Flute and Bass continuo)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #187 of 205 |
BJ: Alan, are you there? You have done some
transcriptions for guitar of Bach's works. I
am wondering if I am doing the right thing.

BJ: I took some tracks of the Sonata and
combined them. The flute was an octave too
high for the guitar, and the bass an octave
too low. On transposing and looking at and
listening to the results, it sounds a little
heavy at the beginning compared to the original,
but not too unreasonable. On going through,
the spread of the base compared to the treble
is not so great that it seems undoable on the
guitar (have gone through the first half
but not the second). But I am not accomplished
enough to really know. There are a couple of
places where cross-fret barring seems natural.

BJ: I am putting the transcription as a .mid
file under "Other Transcriptions" in in the
Member section of "Files."

BJ: Which TAB program do you use yourself?
TablEdit, PowerTab, GuitarPro, or other? Now
that I have TuxGuitar I can now handle .gp5.

Bob
