Joaquín is amazing! Had a masterclass from him at the Boston Guitar Festival in 2013, he is a brilliant teacher too.

Desde Uruguay, felicitaciones por esta clase magistral, compartiendo el conocimiento desde un profundo amor a esta musica y a Bach.

Can't thank you enough Tonebase Guitar for sharing and letting us travelling a little bit into both Masters head & emotions! Linking a piece to its history while adding the musician's thoughts is so enriching for our understanding.

I've heard the Chaconne played on the Baroque Lute, Harp, Accordion (amazing), Organ and Mandolin. It's always a treat and imho it is one of the most powerful compositions of all time. While Bach wasn't super famous during his lifetime, I'd have to think any listeners who were blessed to hear his music while he was alive must have thought the hand of God was performing.

Very cheeky intro hahaha The chaconne is beautiful on the violin but even more so on guitar.

This is an amazing video explaining very value information. Thank you for this! We can see the mastery of Clerch here.

Such wonderful insight. This is what I miss about music school. And of course you play it with the bass like a guitar. You can never sound like a violin. Maybe with a distortion pedal! Looks like I will be going down this Theone rabbit hole now I'm such a sucker for hidden meaning stuff....

Very good and interesting exposition. Transcriptions for guitar often violate the rules of harmony for the convenience of playing an easy fingering. The beginning of this piece is an example where this happens regularly. Here, he plays the D minor chord correctly, and with an apparent ease, which is not self-evident because of the stretch. But at least he didn't fall into the trap of choosing a wrong voicing with an easier grip. He also apparently thought about it a lot. It seems interesting to study his interpretation in detail. Unfortunately, Tonebase is subscription based, you cannot buy a single course. You cannot even buy the sheet music of his transcription. Does anybody know where you can get it?

How to create a whole universe from four notes. Only Bach.

Darn cheeky violinists forgetting the guitar has two more strings😅
