3.0 out of 5 stars A good collection, but I expected 'Chaconne' and . . .", April 28, 2008

This review is from: CLASSICAL GUITAR OF BACH (Concert Masterworks) (Paperback)

It's a good collection. I wish I would've been able to see the contents before I bought it. Some of the pieces are in my general compilation books. The tableture is a great feature.

I was expecting Prelude BWV 1006a and Chaconne, but still a good collection.

I highly recommend this item to anyone who wants to learn Bach on guitar.

But, no Chaconne and 1006a as I mentioned.

This book has a good selection of Bach's work...and there's a tablature under the notation music...This make things more easy...I think...If you find difficult to read notation music for the guitar, by this book...Your work will be more light...

I found this collection of guitar pieces for Bach quite eloquent. Mr. Harris presents a well-organized collection that I found easy to follow. His textual analysis preceeding the sheets offers expert guidelines for playing Bach on guitar--something many classical musicians may never have considered. In reality, I'm just putting in a good word for my brother. This book genuinely expands the cannonical concept of the classical guitar.
