I have been listening to Michael Fix for a very long time, like 30 years. A grossly underrated musician to say the least. I wonder what Bach would have thought about this interpretation of this masterful piece? I say he'd say, "you nailed it bro."
Awe - inspiring and well to bring ZEUS to a standing ovation at mt.olympus.Thanks for playing so well this gem raising it to unforgettable heights.all the best ar
amazing playing especially as on acoustic seen a few do it on electric with a few pedals sounds good but to play it as fast on acoustic takes some talent well done
Lovely! Very reminiscent of the Sky version (fondly remembered from my distant youth!), bit with your own touches, and choice of pace & dynamics. Love it. =:o}
WOW mr. Fix... Bach was rock 'n roll in his era and would certainly give you a big thumbs up for your version!!! Anyway I did... ;-) Sounds great on that 12-stringer... Bert
That must have been one hell of a lot of work to adapt, sort of like "Stars & Stripes Forever". Being a fan of E. Power Biggs and thinking of pipe organs while listening to this, I was rather impressed.
Toccata D-minor. Very good rendition. My favourite one is Fugue F-minor (Jesu joy of men's desire), I strongly suspect it won't sound anywhere as good on a 12-stringer, though. Some things are definitely meant for that particular instrument.

This might be the most amazing 12-string playing I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing, Michael.
WOW !!! Absolutely gorgeous. such precision and perfection in each note. Well done Michael.
Karen Anderson thanks Karen, I appreciate your comments.
Genius choice of instrument to play that Tocatta on and brilliant playing!!! BRAVO!!!
That was bloody brilliant! Bravo!
This gets more amazing with each listening.
Thank you for working that hard and that long to perform
this wonderful piece!
There is nothing better than a 12, no matter what genre of music!
Brilliant. So nice to see and hear. Thank you, Michael.
so beautiful! if only I would be an australian.. I would go to every concert where you are performing
I don't say "amazing" often. This is amazing.
Who would thumbs down this? This is beyond amazing.
Same Maton as mine. 425/12. Of course you play it a damn sight better than I do, Mick!

very nice job
This is great, like to hear you on the stage with a loaded audience, you deserve it.
Fantastic!
That was awesome!!! Thanks for posting!
I cannot believe what I just watched. This guy is waaaayyyy underrated.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
amazing playing especially as on acoustic seen a few do it on electric with a few pedals sounds good but to play it as fast on acoustic takes some talent well done
Very very nicely played
Proof that Bach was pure metal in his days.
Vivaldi , Paganini , Bach .... they all metal :X
Reminds me of a concert by Andres Segovia, mid-sixties--complete mastery of the instrument.
Great work Michael, you make it look so smooth and effortless. I'm thinking about buying a 12 string and I'm a mad Maton lover!!
Robert Lennox I would definitely recommend getting s 12 string. They are amazing and it's honestly a sound to never forget.

Brilliant guitarist. Would love to see you in the UK
Amazing 😉
Very well done!
WOW mr. Fix... Bach was rock 'n roll in his era and would certainly give you a big thumbs up for your version!!! Anyway I did... ;-)
Sounds great on that 12-stringer...
Bert
love it
Oaoh! Even on 12 strings sounds this Werk absolutly breathtaking :-)

WOW!
AMAZING!

Does Mike Fix look like Bill Clinton or what ??? ABSOLUTELY!! Great playing, Thanks.
Freakin' great!!!
Original version de la tocata y fuga bwv 565 , del maestro Bach, congratulations.
Padronanza dello strumento. Eccellente.
Wow, I never knew I liked Bach!
Toccata D-minor. Very good rendition. My favourite one is Fugue F-minor (Jesu joy of men's desire), I strongly suspect it won't sound anywhere as good on a 12-stringer, though. Some things are definitely meant for that particular instrument.
Super!!!!!

Should have checked your site. I see you do perform publicly so I'll check you out.
John Williams should hear this!!!....and Tommy Emmanuel!!! ...super rendition on a difficult instrument.
Hi Michael this is great hope to catch you live one day out in oz, would you mind letting me know what guitar your using thanks.
+Drew Martin sorry for very late reply! the guitar is a Maton 225/12 - it has a Bunya top...not the prettiest guitar, but it has a great sound.

Nice!!
Is that played with "drop D" tuning?
Paul Graham I believe so
I'm shocked! :) It's impossible!
Wow! Are you for real?????
nice playing, what kind of strings does your guitar have?
+Jose Alvarez Im using D'Addario lights (10s)
Fantastic
Is that standard or drop d tuning?
Thank you
+MOOG FAN standard tuning, but low E down a tone to D.
+Michael Fix TV so drop d.
Puts the old "Classical Gas" to shame!
B r i l l i a n t !!!
Not clear what is the guitar`s model?
Its a Maton, model 225
How's the action?
Maton. Messiah EM100C/12
Yep - Not bad.
Do you perform publicly?
Tome su like coño!
Great work sir. But sometimes resembles to Spanish-style guitar ;)

Sound a bit like flamenco!
It's an 11 string 😂😂😂 anyone else notice the missing peg ?
no missing peg - I can tell you for sure that there is a full complement of 12 strings!
(its a black peg)
I counted 12.
great playing, terrible sounding guitar, stick with a gibson or taylor.
Fantastic!
Fantastic!!
