The passage leads off with some string skipping, so make sure that your right hand plays the correct strings.
At bar 11, the final section begins, and you switch positions so that you play a major scale in 2nd position.
For music with first and second endings, you play only the first ending the first time through and only the second ending the second time through.īach’s original work has a section of music that we cut in the interest of brevity. But this repeat uses first and second endings, indicated by the lines with “1.” and “2.” above the music. So look for a corresponding repeat sign that defines the ending and outlines the passage for repeating in this case, it comes at the end of bar 8. Notice that at the beginning of the music you see a repeat sign (the combination of thick and thin vertical lines with two dots), which tells you that you repeat some portion of the song. To begin, place your left-hand 1st finger hovering above the 9th fret, and then plant your 4th finger on the starting note G on the 4th string, 12th fret. The song begins in 9th position, and the starting note is the 4th finger. It even made its way into pop music in the 1965 hit by the Toys, “A Lover’s Concerto.”Īs the title notes, Bach’s minuet is in the key of G. Despite its simplicity, the song’s melody has become universal.
Bach, a composer who lived and wrote during the Baroque era (1600–1750), originally wrote “Minuet in G” as a simple piano piece for student pianists (a group that included his wife). Learning to play Bach’s “Minuet in G” on guitar will give you a chance to use all your scale practicing in a real song.
