- 0:07 Prelude, 3:25 Sarabande, 8:12 Gigue, 11:06 Double
Three of the shorter movements from the Suite for Lute in C minor, BWV 997 (I consider the Double as a variation of the Gigue). If I ever have enough time to get that Fugue up to par, it will get its own video!

I'll have a new video every month for the next few months.
Thanks to Max Richard and Brent Crawford for helping me film this. It's a lot of work to transport all the gear, set everything up and then sit down and play. You guys made the process much smoother!
Also, as you may have seen in some of my videos i'm using fake nails.

These adhesives are fantastic for putting them on, and I have been using them without fail for over a year (even when playing the Aranjuez concerto with lots of rasguados and otherwise heavy playing). If you also use fake nails and are tired of using glue, this is probably a very good option for you. - เพลง

What's the guitar model in this video?
I've got some lessons for you dickhead. My previous conquest of you will look like child's play.
Drew started as a student of mine and advanced so fast I needed to get him an interview with the renowned Eli Kastner, who taught the editor's of the RCM Guitar Syllabus. I have fond memories of guitar shopping with him at the 12th fret in Toronto. The guitar he wanted was not on the shop floor, but hidden away! Truly a gifted, astounding musician, and great guy.
Bravo
Lovely to hear. His consistency in every aspect of playing is astounding.
According to me, he Is one of the best player of Bach on guitar.
You have no idea who this is
@@peterbauer9920hahahaha, probably one in search of followers or wse.
I was sad and angry. Then I listened to this... now I'm calm and relax. Everything is going to be fine.
Bach speaks of kings and queens, life and death in tones. And this guy fully understands the tales. Really impressive. You can grow wise listening to this.
Beautiful insight. I have always tought Bach is THE perfect music for watching some chess analysis (I wouldn't say playing it, as silence is the perfect match for that oc, although I have also done that). Put those together and It's like a mistery unraveling in front of you.
You are very poetic but I do
recall that Bach added to his
hand written music the phrase
"All the Glory belongs to God"
Unfortunately many Royals in
history were inbred morons
who sent entire generations to
die. Also, most great artists
came from humble families.
New Royal Kids are gorgeous
thanks to Diana ,Grace and Kate. Great Bach on Guitar,the
G minor on 7 string Is Heaven.
As a trained guitarist, the most astounding thing is the absolute consistency of tone, and ability to intelligently pick out the melodic lines. Bravo.
As an untrained guitarist, who is not tone def, I also agree.
@@FiddleSticks800 as a person that don't play Amy instrument I agree with you.
Yes even during the more technical parts and difficult positions... Incredible
As a piano player I could'nt agree more

Chill down my spine.
The clarity of a pristine ice cave,
the perfect Bach.
-A haiku for Drew
If more people could hear music this beautiful, I'm sure they'd treat each other better. Music like this is what keeps us in touch with our humanity.
To all who are watching/subscribed, i'm overwhelmed with your amazing support. Thank you all :) Have a happy holidays and you'll see more content early 2020!
Thank you very much for your amazing work! Waiting for new performances in 2020 :)
Long time no see
Que bien suena Bach en la guitarra de Drew! Feliz Navidad para todos!
Ty for your beautiful talent and share with us. Saudações do Brasil.
You really need to post more Drew! You really nail Bach. I showed a friend of mine this upload who is as picky as it gets with Bach and he really loved it. Hope for more!
Each movement is astounding, but that fugue was life-changing for me.
So smooth and graceful.
When I want J.S. Bach on guitar this is the player I choose first and most often . Astounding...
still Christopher Parkening for me, but this is an excellent performance
Tilman Hoppstock is great Bach player.
He's one of the best player in the world of Bach on guitar, by me.
Quando si ascolta un livello così alto e meraviglioso di interpretazione, si resta senza fiato, e ringrazio Dio che ci siano musicisti che hanno scelto la chitarra. Chi ascolta e non è del settore non può immaginare quanti sacrifici ci siano dietro per arrivare a questo. Grazie maestro ❤
Please, give us more of this amazingly and beautifully performed Bach. This kind of music is a relief and consolation in these challenging times. Thank you soooo much!!
I listen to this at least once a day. So beautiful. Perfect tones. Pitch fantastic. He's enjoying the music too. It's like the guitar is playing him. ...I love it.
How can there be people who clic dislike this video???
Thanks to Bach for his legacy, thanks to you Drew for your performance. It looks like magic.
🎵 Your music is a masterpiece that paints vivid emotions, like an artist's brush on the canvas of our hearts. 🎨🎶
Bach is so beautiful when played so well on such a fine instrument. Wonderful dynamics and flawless execution. This video is a treasure.
Yes
So beautiful, but so so so beautiful.... Congrats! This kind of thing makes internet a better place.
It’s all about the subtlety of interpretation, flow, phrasing, slight rubato when needed. So very lovely.
Incredible!! Since discovering this a year ago, I play this a few times a week whenever I need to escape the chaos of the world. Thank you!
exquisite tone, tasteful expression, emotional depth without wallow, tragedy without bitterness, beauty in sadness
my God you've really captured it
Wonderful comment…
This guy is so friggin good! He plays flawlessly the prelude I've spent a ton of time learning, and greatly expresses the more complex passages in this piece as well. Wonderful playing Drew!!
This music transcends right into my soul, thank you so much for playing for us this masterpiece! God bless you.
I am very critical about Bach on guitar, but you do it mate, its just blowing my mind
Such a strikingly beautiful performance. One thing I haven't seen commented on (at least in the ones TH-cam has put near the top...) is the wonderful dynamic control.
As an amateur guitarist who has played the instrument for two decades, I know how much talent and effort go into such perfect control of every note.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Every note in Bach’s music is so important, it takes a long time to do a piece justice. I actually recorded this three times!
@@DrewHendersonGuitar as you say EVERY note in bach s music is so important, no other composer has this ability this is why it is important to put all this effort into playing his music and this is why i can only remember bach 's music in my brain. strange but understandable ?
Truly, this is one of the best recordings of Bach on any instrument I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard so many.
Played so gracefully, without pretension.
A true master, bravo!
What a BEAUTIFULLy expressive performance. Bravíssimo!
Thanks for this marvelous playing. Bach would be proud of this. 👏👏👏👏
Mastery of instrument, purity of style, beauty in music, pleasure in hearing: not many can make Bach look easy. Bravo!
Stunning. A true pleasure. I can’t stop watching your hand glide so effortlessly around the fretboard. Thank you!
The delicate and friendly way of playing makes the listener warm.
It is one of the best illustrations of difference between a third-rate amateur and a real professional (yes, I am learning Prelude). Perfect, gorgeous and sublime performance, as usual. But I must say that while watching your marvelous performances I not only learn “how it should be” but I also get an enormous charge of inspiration and truly heavenly joy. Your recordings empower me to move further, to practice more diligently and to aspire for more. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas! And more inspiration and eternal music next year!
I like you passion.
I feel it in the same way, is wonderful
Just wonderful. Having learned all of these movements many years ago, I am so delighted to hear how it can sound when played by a master! So uplifting and inspirational.
that finger independence is so solid, and the emotion does not let up, it's so relentlessly beautiful
Заслушалась, великолепное исполнение. Испытываю особенное удовольствие, слушая классику на гитаре, я погружаюсь в детство и вспоминаю, как перед сном мой отчим всегда играл на гитаре классику (Баха тоже) и я сладко засыпала под звучание гитары. ❤️👍👏
The utter brilliance of Bach rings loud and clear. With flawless technique Bach become musical perfection.
I first played BWV 997 in 1984 as a student at Atheneum Music school Athens Greece. Your playing is excellent and the ornaments also. I might take it up again, although these days i don't play anymore unfortunately for a variety of reasons. Keep it up, you are fantastic!!
the problem is that listening you one can think that the guitar is a very easy instrument and that it is so easy and natural to obtain this wonderful sound and this wonderful interpretation! bravissimo, it is a pleasure to listen you
See ! It's also happens with our holy Life. The most it seems easy or easier, the most it needs to be attentive, careful, openminded ; in a single word, wise. It' a 24/24 hours 7/7 work ! And it works :)
My dog is freaking out because of fireworks and she’s calm now after we cloistered ourselves in the bathroom and I played this on my phone for her. I was trained on the classical guitar in childhood and return to it from time to time, but your playing is so beautiful that it just makes me want to give up 😂
Как ценно, что вы все вещи И.С.Баха играете в храме !
"Sarabande" brought three words to mind as I thoroughly enjoyed it: mesmerizing, captivating, and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift of music with the world. Had surgery yesterday and this piece brought a type of healing salve for my soul that I didn't know I needed. Again, thank you, Sir. May peace, excellent health, and blessings overflow in your life. Take care and stay healthy. (Smile)
Great music is a healing power.
EXCELLENT... Wonderful playing... thanks, Drew...
Thabk you. I'm sure Bach approves and enjoys listening to you impeccable interpretations if his music!
Many thanks!
How marvellously you play! You make everything sound new and fresh
Drew you are making us addicted to good music in your hands. Thank you Sport
I was waiting for this: I had once, almost twenty years ago, heard the opening notes to this prelude.. ..only knowing that it was Bach.. I fell in love with it.. ..but never knowing the title of the piece... waiting ever so patiently for the day that I hear these notes again.. And here they are! ..right there in my YT Recommendations.. Now, I have since learnt this on the guitar. Thank you.. for bringing light of the best of what the best language of Life has to offer.
Less is more with Bach and Drew absolutely nails it here. Not over-coloured our ornamented - just lets the music do the talking. Superb.
I would have to disagree.
John Williams really let the music do the talking on his old Bach album, with simplicity and clarity, but steady rhythm and no embelishments, and It's simply breathtakingly beautiful.
I do like this version here, but its the most "extravagantly decorated" version of this song I've ever heard (sarabande). Still great though! Just my 2 cents. 👍
Gorgeous, expressive and moving. I love Bach and your performance does justice to the great master.
Perfect pace, gorgeous steady rhythm and so expressively played. And that guitar must have cost a fortune - it sustains long enough to savour the last chords of every cadence. This video is pure meditation. Thanks for the great work you put in to perform this it's a real treat.
What a great comment! I absolutely agree.
Bravo! Well said! I struggled for 10 minutes before commenting to find the right words to do this video justice and eventually just spoke from my heart. You've nailed it spot on! Brilliant comment! Take care and stay healthy. (Smile)
Well thank you very much. You made a pretty good response yourself. I hope you healed well from your hospital visit. This guy's lovely playing would cure many ills. Stay good.
Incredibly well done music... AND you chose a church with the right acoustics, as well as a spot where it is lit with beautiful natural light. J.S. himself would be extremely pleased with you... 11 stars out of 10.
Drew, this is a beautifully expressed, truly flawless performance. I played classical guitar for 30 years. I could play for another hundred and not be able to play with this level of mastery. Loved every moment of it. ❤
I can’t overstate my enjoyment of your playing! Thank you for sharing the results of your hard hard work!
Ta muzyka to niezwykle przejmujaca modlitwa. Geniusz Bach
It is incredible how a baroque composer could create these authentic wonders with the lute, and on the other hand the Spanish guitar with that large box gives another dimension to the sound.
Omg that was amazing, I wanna hear it again
excelent technique! very clean sound. a pleasure to listen to.
Очень нравится манера исполнения Дрю. Спасибо, что вы есть, часто вас слушаю, хотелось бы конечно вживую послушать....
The playing is wonderful because nothing is forced. Bravo
Beautiful interpretation. Such lovely phrasing and clarity. I'm looking forward to more.
Thank you! I have another video ready to go which i'll release next month and will be recording more in January.
Drew Henderson even a few years agony is the most beautiful thing
This lute suite is wonderful and I enjoyed your interpretation very much. The prelude is very special to me, because it was the first piece that caught my attention into lute music, more than 10 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your interpretation!
Jaws on the ground, perfect in every way, just bravo 👏👏👏👏
Such a masterful recording of this Bach. Beautiful phat tone, and lovely expression and technique to spare.
Apart from admiring the beauty of Bach's music again and again, the articulation here is superb and I feel much calmer for hearing this. Well done!
멋진 연주 감사드립니다.
늘 건강하시고 하나님의 은혜가 함께 하시길 기도합니다.
Thank you incredibly much! Your renditions. are so sensitive and thoughtful - it is like a salve for my spirit to listen again and again.
J S Bach was a magnificent genius and you bring out the conversations in such a lovely way. I can't explain. Just thank you !!
Wow Drew! Such mastery!
I am so impressed with the perfect intonation of all of your instruments. Throughout the entire fingerboard - you are always precisely in tune.
Your fingering of adjacent string trills is a sound reminiscent of a keyboard trill - very crisp and precise.
Thank you so much - your videos are just superb. I am grateful!
Also - thanks for the tip on the artificial nails. I have been getting acrylics - messy and toxic. I'll try these out.
Masterful. An epic performance.
Such a high quality performance. The pacing, the dynamics... almost perfect.
Bach serait heureux d’entendre cette merveilleuse interprétation de son œuvre bravo monsieur pour cette grande maitrise dans l’exécution de ces œuvres
Very nice. The best I've heard since Julian Bream's classic recording. Great separation of voices and embellishments in the Sarabande.
Simply marvellous, such a combination of sound, phrasing and technique to produce what is just perfect to my ears.
Fantastic playing of some of the most beautiful and difficult music for guitar
An offering of music. Beautiful. I could never tire of your playing. Thank you for your hours of study and love.
Marvelous. Creates an inner sacred space. Thank you and best wishes.
Gracias Drew excelente disfruté muchísimo tu interpretación de estas obras tan complicadas de tocar de Bach.Muchas gracias.Ricardo De Luca desde Santa Fe Argentina
I dont know if you call it something else in this case, but I’d never seen thrills executed so perfectly on a guitar.
Bach no compuso para guitarra pero le hubiese gustado escuchar estas maravillas, bravo y bravo❤
Drew, brother, Glory be to God the Highest for the gift of music... flower power, music power, Love lost some battles, but it will win the war. be as much selfless, you can be... music can be a beautifull prayer. girls don't care much for music, but to know if you sell a lot of cd players... i play the Guitar too, originals and study much Brazilian Music. Peace be with you!
Such a fantastic interpretation. Both the gigue and double are my absolute favorite pieces from Bach. Please upload more Bach :)!!
Such a pleasure to hear you play - incredibly clean and consistent execution. All the best in 2020!

Monsieur,
Je possède depuis plus de quarante ans le CD de John Williams des 4 suites pour luth. Je l’écoute régulièrement avec toujours autant de plaisir parce que je considère Bach comme LE génie de la musique et parce que je trouve l’interprétation de Williams impeccable de sobriété et d’élégance. J’avais un regret : ne pas pouvoir VOIR comment il était possible de jouer des choses aussi complexes à la guitare à laquelle je me suis essayé dans ma jeunesse. Votre vidéo me procure donc un double plaisir : voir votre jeu et découvrir une interprétation aussi élégante (avec quelques trilles en plus et un peu plus de nuances) que celle de John Williams. You made my day young man ! And I look forward winch impatience to the next ones. Sincere congratulations for your talent and the amount of work you put to achieve this level of excellence.
Thank you so much !!! Respectfully.
A pleasure to listen to, thank you Drew.
YES SOME BACH AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES TO TOP THIS YEAR OFF!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!
So insanely masterful. Bravo.
This is the most beautiful guitar playing I have ever heard.
Undeniable artistry ,
Beautiful, balanced, refined, classy... Thank you.
Прекрасно играете! Великолепно! Спасибо Вам...
What a fantastic sound this particular guitar has! Awesome playing, just perfect.
Greetings from Brazil
It's played with your soul.
I love so much Bach on guitar, I'm working on a few partitions. I love to hear you play it and to see the pleasure you feel while playing the art of mighty Bach
My compliments Drew, beautiful Music, Interpretation, Sound und Production!
Absolutely wonderful playing both in technique and interpretation. I enjoyed this so much.
I will play the guitar like this when I get to heaven! Thankyou Drew for sharing your wonderful gift. God bless you!
Very smooth and pleasant to the ears. Bravo! Very nicely done!
My favourite guitarist. Wonderful. I play the guitar and I know how difficult it is to play this way.
One of the best guitarists nowadays.
My favourite guitarist too, stunningly good.
COMPLIMENTI sei fra i migliori chitarristi che abbia mai ascoltato !!!!
Amazing! I didn't know our fingers could do all that. We have amazing bodies, no? This young man must have spent many years with a guitar; I can still hardly believe my eyes. And the music! Beautiful. Of course, I subscribed. Equally mind-blowing are the compositions by Bach, a musical genius beyond compare.
La GUITARRA aporta algo más, a la música de Bach. Una intimidad, un pregón fino, que complementa las bellas frases. Un acierto, interpretar Bach en guitarra. Muchas gracias, Maestro. Desde Chile 🇨🇱 .
