@@ItsMeHello555 I used to play more on a nylon string. I sold the one I had and just recently bought this one. I’ve been mostly relearning these songs and getting my fingers in tune for wedding season. I will probably switch gears next week and get back on a steel string and some electric. I have a performance in May that I need to focus on. So I will be posting things geared towards that soon.
@@mitchsmith6365 i have learnt this myself a great tune I play this almost everyday capo up a whole step on folk steel string guitar and up tempo very sweet i first saw it a classic guitar song book attributed to Bach as well learnt later it was Christian Petzold thanks Mitch you play it well
@@grahamclaireeyles8075 Thank you for the feedback. I love finger style on a steel string. It’s just hard for me to fit my fingers in all the places they need to be. I’m hoping to find a steel string spaced like (or closer to) a classical guitar
@@mitchsmith6365just give it a go i used to do classic then changed to a 1 3/4 inch width nut on a maton 25 1:2 inch scale i think and you just adapt over time cheers
That is not bach. Christian someone a german i believe though most old scripts have it as bach look it up t was also adapted into 4-4 in the sixties made famous as lovers concerto
That is interesting information. I’ve always seen is as Bach. Even on piano arrangements. If I get time, I may do some research on that. Thank you for the input.
@@mitchsmith6365 Linzer and Randell used the melody of the familiar "Minuet in G major" (BWV Anh. 114), which first appeared in J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.[2] The only difference is that the "Minuet in G major" is written in 3 4 time, whereas "A Lover's Concerto" is arranged in 4 4 time. Although often attributed to Bach himself, the "Minuet in G major" is now generally accepted as having been written by Christian Petzold.[4][5][6] The melody had been popularized by bandleader Freddy Martin in the 1940s, in a recording that was released under the title "A Lover's Concerto".[7] Critic Dave Thompson wrote of the Toys' version: "Few records are this perfect. Riding across one of the most deceptively hook-laden melodies ever conceived ... 'A Lover's Concerto' marks the apogee of the Girl Group sound."[2] The song also has an unusual structure that blurs the differences between its verses and choruses.[2] Add to this, it was also popularized by Sarah Vaughan under Mercury label in the late ‘60s. The lyrics begin: How gentle is the rain That falls softly on the meadow, Birds high up in the trees Serenade the clouds with their melodies

Joy to find your new stuff in my feed this morning, Mitch. Thank you for sharing. 🧡
Thank you for that encouragement. I am trying to be more consistent. However, this week was Bach, next week may be Ozzy Osborne lol!
@@mitchsmith6365 you are most welcome! As for me? I treasure that you don’t only reside in one harbour! Well-rounded and more talented. ;)
