Bwv 999 Prelude tab by Bach Johann Sebastian

Guitar tabs

Last week someone asked for the tab for Bach's Prelude from BMV 999
(Praelude in C moll pour la Lute di J S Bach). Originally for lute
in C minor, well to guitar in D minor. It is one of Bach's most
popular pieces for guitar. It was originally in Cm, but is trans-
posed to Dm for guitar. I like to play it brisk and flowing with
a slight accent on the the base notes. It is in 3/4 time; the |'s
represent 8th notes. Let me know if you find any mistakes.


Prelude, BMV 999             Johann Sebastian Bach

I use a picking pattern of :
  p i m a m i m i p i p m   or
  p i m a m i m i p i p i
