Sonata I (4 mvts) by J.S. Bach in Tablature and Staff Notation

I have recently updated the Adagio and the Fuga scores. Updates to the rest will follow. 

I have edited the tab versions of both and also included a staff notation version of both (which will help in showing you the fingerings I use) and will add the others in staff notation soon. When you buy this you get all future updates free. 

The last two movements are only min tab but will be added in staff soon.

The Six Solo for unaccompanied violin have a long tradition of guitar transcription (Bach himself transcribed some for lute). They are incredible works which have always been my favourite works by Bach. Everything that I have experimented with on the solo guitar has in some way influenced the way I now approach these pieces, from arranging kora music, Gismonti, vihuela compositions to performing them in countless different arrangements, from Paul Galbraith's 8-string guitar version, Segovia, Jonathan Leathwood, directly from the violin score in standard tuning and now in my own arrangement. 

This transcription takes off where my transcriptions of solo kora works leaves off, using a similar tuning, capo position and arrangement concept.

The result is an arrangement of these incredible works which is easier to play, more resonant and absolutely guitaristic. They should be accessible to all fingerstyle and classical guitarists. 

This first Sonata, in the set of three Sonatas and three Partitas, comprises four movements: 

Adagio

Fuga

Siciliano

Presto. 

You will get two scores of each of these with this purchase (Fuga, Siciliano and Presto will be in staff notation before the end of October 2019! - for now only the tablature for these three!)
