Will, I'm getting a blank page with your link and I reaaaaally want to hear you as it is one of my favorites pieces! I would also, with your permission, like to add it to my music collection if at all possible!

Rostropovich does a real good job of this little jewel so I studied his style I try to play it in my guitar accordingly (my preferred guitar for these suites: Ramirez, Concert Guitar, 1979) It is not too bad to pretend I'm actually playing the cello for a change when I play the suites! :)

The one you usually hear by many is the Prelude from the No. 1 in G major, one more reason to treasure your interpretation. I love that one too!  

Cheers,

Bob

You are the man, Will! I enjoyed very, very much! Your guitar has an excellent sound and you did great! By the way, I can't save the youtube performance so I just liked it to my favorites.

Cheers

Bob

Will, you have very good guitar tone. I know that because I don't.

I play in a small recorder ensemble and we read a lot of Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, A. Scarlatti, and others of that ilk; seldom Bach; I don't know why. There are many arrangements of Suites for recorder that aren't that difficult to play; perhaps the name scares people away.

Excellent Bach, however. I was wondering if you might like to repost this to the music blog.

Aloha Will , that was very nice . It's good to see the other talents of the members .  I know that member ramrod makes some nice leather watchbands , one of which I have .

Your guitar only has 4 strings I see ,...similar to a ukelele .

Yup it's a tenor guitar - tuned CGDA like a viola, and just one octave above a cello. So Bach's cello suites sit nicely on the instrument - one octave up!

How many of the cello suites do you play? Just curious.

A university course on proprioceptive writing issued a CD set of the cello suites to aid concentration. I told them I'd be able to concentrate better with silence because listening to the cello suites made it impossible for me to concentrate  on anything else.

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
