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
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.
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}
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.
There is nothing better than a 12, no matter what genre of music!
Genius choice of instrument to play that Tocatta on and brilliant playing!!! BRAVO!!!
This gets more amazing with each listening.
That was bloody brilliant! Bravo!
Thank you for working that hard and that long to perform
this wonderful piece!
WOW !!! Absolutely gorgeous. such precision and perfection in each note. Well done Michael.
Karen Anderson thanks Karen, I appreciate your comments.
I don't say "amazing" often. This is amazing.
Proof that Bach was pure metal in his days.
Vivaldi , Paganini , Bach .... they all metal :X
Brilliant. So nice to see and hear. Thank you, Michael.
I cannot believe what I just watched. This guy is waaaayyyy underrated.
Who would thumbs down this? This is beyond amazing.
so beautiful! if only I would be an australian.. I would go to every concert where you are performing

This is great, like to hear you on the stage with a loaded audience, you deserve it.
Brilliant guitarist. Would love to see you in the UK
Amazing 😉
2:00 to 2:15 best part!
Reminds me of a concert by Andres Segovia, mid-sixties--complete mastery of the instrument.
love it
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.
Bravo !!!!!!!!!
Your arrangement is too good to remember to click the like button.
Very well done!
Same Maton as mine. 425/12. Of course you play it a damn sight better than I do, Mick!
Scottie

You Rock my friend!

Original version de la tocata y fuga bwv 565 , del maestro Bach, congratulations.
Ahhhh!
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}
Padronanza dello strumento. Eccellente.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Tuning and string gauge? Thank you!
Wow, I never knew I liked Bach!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT Wonderful! Very moving! Thank you SO much! Did you write that composition? What is its name? That'll MOVE you! Thanks again!
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
Is there a tab for this?
very nice work btw
yes, there is: TAB/Notation available for download here:
michaelfix.com/downloads/
John Williams should hear this!!!....and Tommy Emmanuel!!! ...super rendition on a difficult instrument.
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.
My fingertips hurt just watching this! {smile}
Should have checked your site. I see you do perform publicly so I'll check you out.
Yep - Not bad.
Do you perform publicly?
Does Mike Fix look like Bill Clinton or what ??? ABSOLUTELY!! Great playing, Thanks.
😂😂 BAM!! Holy crap, just rippin' it!
Not clear what is the guitar`s model?
Its a Maton, model 225
How's the action?
Maton. Messiah EM100C/12
Wow! Are you for real?????
Amazing man. Never heard classical guitar on a twelver. You're more than welcome to check out the video I made - 50 famous riffs on a 12 string. -Best
B r i l l i a n t !!!
I'm shocked! :) It's impossible!
Puts the old "Classical Gas" to shame!
Sound a bit like flamenco!
Great work sir. But sometimes resembles to Spanish-style guitar ;)

Tome su like coño!
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!
