Another great discussion Ben, it's amazing how we can appreciate Bach's genius centuries later and apply it to improvised music

[@beneunson]

Absolutely, Andreas! I agree 💯

[@jaredwilliams1031]

More imperfect cadences than I would have expected, but I tend to think they sound better anyway.

[@beneunson]

Great cadences, right?

[@bobjanetmart506]

That thumbnail lol...

[@beneunson]

😂

[@narrowonflow]

so bach is jazz? got it

[@kneza96BG]

jazz is bach*

[@jimorgain63]

watch his fingers without sound

[@DanielNistico]

So fascinating to hear how you think of Bach's music, really enlightening! You're getting dangerously close to becoming a classical guitarist 😆

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for watching, Daniel! Very kind of you to say - if only I could play this music as good as you can!

[@Voytek777]

Bach's music will never get old

[@beneunson]

Absolutely right!

The arpeggios you outline at 2:52 to 3:33 remind me of the chords in the song, "The Shadow of Your Smile." So much of Bach has been "borrowed" or "appropriated" by contemporary writers of popular music, for example the Beatles (and George Martin). Your video and analysis convincingly and clearly demonstrates Bach's contribution to contemporary music.

[@beneunson]

Great observation! I can hear the resemblance. Thanks so much for your insight, and thanks for watching!

Beautiful. My playing was advanced by learning the Bach lute suites, which were recorded by John Williams. Such beautiful, inspiring music to play.

[@beneunson]

I love John Williams' album of the lute suites. Thanks for watching!

[@Calbertone]

Great stuff. Snippets could be used chromatically and sound more modern. Conversely there’s food for thought by arpeggiating using 9ths and 4ths…

[@beneunson]

Absolutely, all are valid possiblities! Thanks for watching!

[@hakanl135]

They were all beautiful , but excerpt 8 stands out a bit more for me , thanks for this mini lesson showing the possibilities.

[@beneunson]

I love excerpt 8, thank you so much for watching!

[@ZalMoxis]

mind numbing.... 👊

[@beneunson]

In a good way, I hope! 😂 Thanks for watching

[@farhadjalili-bj8qo]

Great analysis and Bach still inspires !

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for watching! Bach is always inspiring!
