I like all the Bach solo Violin and Cello compositions, and they are a fun challenge to play on guitar. His frequent use of upper note leading into a chord change is particularly noteworthy. Thanks

Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you so much for such a great lesson. I am a saxophone player and I already see how much I can apply this knowledge on my horn. You are a true teacher. I appreciate this chord progression Lesson. Keep up the good work. You are awesome.

I love the Corrente in this Partita. It is indeed a rich source of triads, with beautiful harmonic and melodic content. While the music will have great application across many genres, I find Bach’s music satisfying on the electric guitar completely in their own right. ❤

Beautiful stuff, Ben. Thank you for reminding us about how these composers were such important influences on Western music.

I'll use little fragments of triads then connect them with chromatic passing tones. I try to catch all the tones I find interesting over a chord on the downbeat. So I might start on the high-e and play a 2nd inversion Abmin triad descending over a Dbmin to get the min7, play a D on the third string and then go up a fourth to play the 1st inversion G triad descending and get a 'blue note' sound, then I can easily grab the A triad to get a b6 sound.

Not sure if you’ve done it yet. But it’d be cool to see your harmonic analysis of one of these amazing pieces…Basically a lead sheet of the chords being outlined.

Brilliant idea, let me see what I can do!

The excerpts make a lot of sense for those who can't afford the time to dig through the whole score but don't want to miss those great concepts!

Great lesson Ben!! Those bach's triads are similar to your arpeggio's approach in your courses :) pd: isn't the highlighter pen green? 🤔
@beneunsonАй бұрын
So glad you liked it! I love looking at arpeggios like this, I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well. The pen looks blue to me, perhaps it came up as green on your screen? Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong... 😛

Not sure Bach/common practice composers would indicate what you are describing as an Em7 in the final chord in bar 12. Taken in the context it was composed in, the final D note appears to be a non- harmonic anacrusis - an approach tone to the C# that opens measure 13.
@beneunsonАй бұрын
Sure, you're right - but I've analyzed the arpeggio in this way to assist guitarists with applying Baroque-period material within the context of modern contemporary music/soloing.
@pvillezАй бұрын
@@beneunson, I think you are right. It's what the ear actually hears, that is what really matters and your video presents that angle from the very start. Trying to distract from that is not a discussion. Bach made music using his ears, not explanations.

Is there any benefit to purchasing the the pdf other than the tab? I found the excerpt on IMSLP.
@beneunsonАй бұрын
My PDF transcription is to assist with my fingerings & articulation that are tailored specifically to electric guitar

Is Bach related to Bachus? Were the Bachannals playing Bach? Inquiring minds want to know!
