J.S. Bach - Prelude, Sarabande, Gigue & Double from BWV 997

0:07 Prelude, 3:25 Sarabande, 8:12 Gigue, 11:06 Double
Three of the shorter movements from the Suite for Lute in C minor, BWV 997 (I consider the Double as a variation of the Gigue). If I ever have enough time to get that Fugue up to par, it will get its own video!

I'll have a new video every month for the next few months.
Thanks to Max Richard and Brent Crawford for helping me film this. It's a lot of work to transport all the gear, set everything up and then sit down and play. You guys made the process much smoother!
Also, as you may have seen in some of my videos i'm using fake nails.
www.guitarnailskit.com/?gclid...
These adhesives are fantastic for putting them on, and I have been using them without fail for over a year (even when playing the Aranjuez concerto with lots of rasguados and otherwise heavy playing). If you also use fake nails and are tired of using glue, this is probably a very good option for you.

Drew started as a student of mine and advanced so fast I needed to get him an interview with the renowned Eli Kastner, who taught the editor's of the RCM Guitar Syllabus. I have fond memories of guitar shopping with him at the 12th fret in Toronto. The guitar he wanted was not on the shop floor, but hidden away! Truly a gifted, astounding musician, and great guy.

[@williamparrish2436]

Bach speaks of kings and queens, life and death in tones. And this guy fully understands the tales. Really impressive. You can grow wise listening to this.

[@jaconova]

Beautiful insight. I have always tought Bach is THE perfect music for watching some chess analysis (I wouldn't say playing it, as silence is the perfect match for that oc, although I have also done that). Put those together and It's like a mistery unraveling in front of you.

[@ruggerobelloni4743]

You are very poetic but I do recall that Bach added to his hand written music the phrase "All the Glory belongs to God" Unfortunately many Royals in history were inbred morons who sent entire generations to die. Also, most great artists came from humble families. New Royal Kids are gorgeous thanks to Diana ,Grace and Kate. Great Bach on Guitar,the G minor on 7 string Is Heaven.

[@chorizoalegre7387]

I was sad and angry. Then I listened to this... now I'm calm and relax. Everything is going to be fine.

[@palladin331]

I think there's a Bach cantata that goes "I was sad and angry. Now I am calm and relaxed. Everything is going to be fine."

Quando si ascolta un livello così alto e meraviglioso di interpretazione, si resta senza fiato, e ringrazio Dio che ci siano musicisti che hanno scelto la chitarra. Chi ascolta e non è del settore non può immaginare quanti sacrifici ci siano dietro per arrivare a questo. Grazie maestro ❤

[@paulking2919]

As an amateur guitarist who has played the instrument for two decades, I know how much talent and effort go into such perfect control of every note.

[@DrewHendersonGuitar]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Every note in Bach’s music is so important, it takes a long time to do a piece justice. I actually recorded this three times!

[@hermannh.k.hunzinger6280]

@@DrewHendersonGuitar as you say EVERY note in bach s music is so important, no other composer has this ability this is why it is important to put all this effort into playing his music and this is why i can only remember bach 's music in my brain. strange but understandable ?
