Summary of This Method
This method from the Hal Leonard Guitar Play-Along series is designed for guitarists who want to perform Bach in a practical and musical way, without getting stuck on simple sight-reading. The principle is simple: you follow the tablature, first listen to the performance to understand the expected sound and articulation, then play along with the dedicated backing tracks. The great advantage of this volume is that it offers duets where both parts are present on the audio, allowing you to work on either part 1 or part 2 while keeping a professional reference alongside.
To facilitate learning, the audio is "enhanced": you can slow down or speed up the recording without altering the key. This is particularly useful for establishing consistent attacks, voice independence, clean position shifts, and mastering phrasing in the Baroque style. The collection brings together several iconic pieces, perfect for enriching your classical guitar repertoire: "Bourrée in E Minor (Lute Suite in E Minor)", "Gavotte (Partita No. 3 in E Major)", "Gavotte II from Lute Suite No. 3, BWV 995", "Invention in D Minor", "Invention No. 1 in C Major, BWV 772", "Invention No. 13 in A minor, BWV 784", "Minuet I (Anna Magdalena)", and "Suite in E Minor BWV 996".
