Chris,
Simply outstanding. Glad you're still around.
If you ever get the time or desire, you should write or give a how-to tutorial on baroque ornamentation. Part of what makes your transcriptions so alive, apart from your playing of course, is the way you embellish these phrases. It really elevates the performance.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful sonata!

Thanks Andre. I always appreciate your kind words.
I've tried making tutorial videos in the past but I just don't seem to have the correct personality for it. It amazes me how some people are so at ease in front of a camera, I'm definitely not one of them.
I realize it's not the same as watching someone teach it, but my music books do show the fingerings for the ornaments.
I hope you are well in these strange times,
Thanks again
Chris

Amazing. I had to make sure my Youtube clock speed was set on normal. Thanks for sharing that.

YT Rule #1:
Guitarists without heads are the bestest!

Thank you for the performance and inspiration.

Do you practice with metronome? What is the slowest tempo you play to?

Thanks Obi Wan.

I do use the metronome. I start at a pace that's comfortable for me and slowly build up the speed. I think my tempo varies depending on the part I'm working on.

Thanks again
Chris

Wow, I will never successfully play that, but I will enjoy watching you play it! I got your K322 transcription, thank you, and that is a lot of fun to play.
