3 MAGICAL Ways To Arranging Bourree In E Minor For Fingerstyle Guitar

The Ultimate Fingerpicking Guitar Course: acousticguitar...
In this video, you learn some of my favourite things to do when arranging fingerstyle songs on guitar.
We are going to take one of the most popular and famous classical pieces of all time and look at ways we can make it sound amazing on acoustic guitar via various fingerpicking concepts and techniques.
The piece is Bourree In E Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and you are going to learn how to switch this piece up using the following approaches:
• Harp Harmonics:
Learn how to take a tune like Bourree In Em and transform it into an incredibly beautiful arrangement using harp harmonics
• Chords/Harmony:
Bourree In E Minor barely has a chord in it. Rather, they are implied with harmony. You learn how to fill out the sound using chords which then opens up other possibilities for the arrangement
• Travis Picking:
You also learn how to transform Bourree In Em into a travis picking arrangement reminiscent of Chet Atkins take on the piece

I loved this lesson Simon - classical music with chords, tab & improvization! Especially loved the Travis picking version - I dont think Bach would have hated that - I can picture him smiling and tapping his toe!
