Default My first Flatpicking Arrangement

Hey guys

Well as the title says, this is my first arrangement that I've done for flatpick style guitar.

The tune itself is an arrangement of the prelude from Bach's Cello suite in G Major. It's one of my favorite pieces of all time so I figured I'd do an arrangement, I hadn't heard anyone do a flatpicked arrangement of it so I decided to do it myself

Guitar used is my Metcalf Custom Dreadnought

Any comments welcome, I'm really just kind of looking for some basic comments, (possible ways to improve playing ie less pick noise etc..)

Enjoy!

Very cool. Well done.

I've spent quite a bit of time flatpicking Bach and Sor myself. I like the way it sounds, and it's a tremendous exercise.

Thanks Eric

Sor is one of my old faves, I haven't tried it flatpicking style yet, I'll have to give that a whirl someday

I must say that this is first time I've heard a Bach tune flatpicked! How nice you played it. Very well!!

Nicely done...
It's amazing how good old J.S.Bach still inspires.

Will,

Nice job!

One constructive criticism, not of you of the recording, it's kind of brittle and edgy (I listen through reference monitors w/sub)... I really like your playing!

Well done my friend!

Hey Rich, thanks! I appreciate the comment

I'll probably try to remix the track as per your suggestion
