JS Bach on 8 string guitar, vol 1 : Daniel Estrem

Daniel Estrem : JS Bach on 8 string guitar, vol 1.
Colorful classical guitar.

The more I study and play the music of Johann Sebastian Bach the more I realize how incredibly adept he was at assimilating a variety of styles and somehow making it all his own. Each piece has its own unique flavor and when listening to a lot of western music written after Bach's time (regardless of genre) much of it seems to be derived from the master.

The 8-string allowed me to preserve the intervals and keep the music true to the composer's intentions. The only way for me to maintain J.S. Bach's polyphonic lines was to multi-track 2 or 3 parts. Most of the pieces required the time-consuming task of transposing the music into guitar-compatible keys. I used an 8-string guitar made by Stephen Kakos for the lower notes and a 6-string guitar made by German Vazquez Rubio for the higher end.
