Hello, GMC! Someone requested me to pick up this beautiful Prelude by Bach for GMC lesson. First I thought it would be too long for online lesson, but as I took a close look at this piece, I was convinced that it can be done.
So, I am breaking up this piece into 3 lessons. This main video only shows one third of the piece. It stops at a strange place, but please wait for two more upcoming lessons for the rest of the piece.
This piece is from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. The Well Tempered Clavier consists of 24 Preludes and Fugues in every possible key, and this is the first one in C major.
Later on, Gnoud composed a melody on this Prelude, so you may know this piece as Ave Mariah. Once you learn this piece, you can have someone sing Ave Maria on it, or you can dub your part with another guitar!
The entire piece consists of the same arpeggio pattern. So your right hand pattern is mostly the same: p-p-i-m-a-i-m-a.
The planting pattern will be:
* As you play p, plant i-m-a.
* Play i-m-a sequentially, as you play a, plant i.
* As you play i, plant m-a.
* Play m-a sequentially, as you play a, plant p.
p = thumb
i = index finger
m = middle finger
a = ring finger
