Re: [bachforguitar] Re: Hi,members! Let know me,,

Another great spot is Weed's www.classtab.org There's a pretty large assortment of Bach pieces already there. Granted some of them are not transcribed in a very logical fasion. Still, there is a large collection there as well as an extensive list of other composers.

[THE MODERATOR ADDS: Note that all notation on Weed's site is tablature.]

 
Alan Melvin is a great site as well. The last I checked it was still under construction. How's that coming along now. Anyone know?

[THE MODERATOR ADDS: I'll answer this in the next post. By the way, I corrected the spelling (Alan Melvin not Alvin). (Thank God my parents didn't rhyme my name that way. Unfortunately half the world still makes this mistake anyway.)]

Ucrit,

You are looking for more Bach to transcribe from, correct? The
easiest way to find sheet music for the original works (and also guitar versions) is through my site http://alan.melvin.com . There, click the menu to "Select a category" (keyboard works, violin works, etc.) and click "Go".

At first you will see only lists of guitar versions with links. However, above each group of guitar versions is a link, "Click for NON-guitar scores". Most of Bach's works are available for free on the internet (mostly in editions whose copyrights have expired). Most of these are in PDF form.

Also there are usually MIDI files you can listen to at the click of your mouse. More importantly, MIDI files can often be used to generate a (rough) guitar transcription electronically, in any key. It is easiest to begin an arrangement this way. Many inexpensive programs do this, the best one being TablEdit.

You are most interested in Preludes? You will find the largest quantity of "Preludes" through the "organ works" page. The sacred organ works BWV 599 to BWV 765 are almost all preludes composed around sacred melodies. Also the "keyboard works" page will list the most famous preludes like the many "Little preludes" and those of the
"Well-tempered clavier".

Always check the guitar pages first to see if there are already good transcriptions of the piece you are interested in.

Please ask also if there's any piece you need help identifying.
Alan
