First Video: Learning Classical Guitar



A couple months ago I decided to pick up classical guitar after my neighbor's dad was over and played this song for me. I was blown away and honestly had never heard someone play guitar like that before...

Watch me play Joy of Man's Desire by Bach here

This is a piece by Bach called Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire. It was composed for piano but this is my adaptation, some I used the music for and some I kind of made up (like the intro). If you've ever been to a wedding before, you probably heard it at some point. I find the melody to be sublime.

I have about nine classical pieces I can now play. They are not perfect but I'm practicing them everyday and love expanding my abilities, or at least trying to. I'm going to record them over the next few days and post them online.
