Bwv 116 Minuet In G tab by Bach Johann Sebastian

Minuet in G - BWV 116
from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach
Johnann Sebastian Bach

This tab is note-for-note from the piano music, but I have condensed
octaves in many places to accommodate the limited lower range of the
guitar.  The following deviations from the piano score are my
arrangements where an exact transcription was impossible:

-2,4,et al.: I dropped the 2nd and 3rd melody notes to the low G.  Try to
bring them out if you want to save the arpeggio; otherwise trash the
piano left hand and play the Gs an octave higher, where they belong.
-21: Same thing, different passage. 
-29,30: This passage was a beast to transcribe well.  If you can do
better, I bow to you.
-40: My octave-condensation catches up with me here.  I hope it sounds
alright.
*24: That D (2nd string 3rd fret) belongs there.  Not an error.
