J. S. Bach is one of the greatest composers and most virtuosic musicians
of all time. His amazing compositions are technically demanding, which
make them the perfect match for heavy metal shred guitar. Shredding Bach
introduces you to the unique style of this musical master and stretches
your playing to the limits. It shows you all the essential techniques to
play Bach's music on your electric guitar, including sweep picking,
tapping, legato, and rapid alternate picking. Every example has been
arranged to be as true and accurate to the original compositions as
possible, with only minor adjustments made to accommodate the guitar and
shred style. The accompanying online audio features all of the examples
recorded at multiple speeds to help you practice and to get you on your
way to mastering Bach's challenging compositions. Also included is
online video with lessons and performances of the music.
German Schauss has produced a highly professional package that is
clearly aimed at the intelligent apprentice axe man (or woman), rather
than the wannabe headbanger.
