Description
J.S.Bach for Acoustic Guitar. J. S. Bach is the most sought after composers of all time. He is everybody’s favorite! Best selling author Ben Bolt has inked 12 solos for guitar in this book. Included are moderate to advanced solos in notation and tablature. All 12 solos are recorded in order like the book. The recording can easily stand on it’s own for your listening pleasure, or can be used as an instructional tool. Professor Bolt also includes a copy of Bach’s original manuscript of Partita No. 1 for cross-reference purposes.
Author
Ben Bolt is credited with being the first classical guitarist instructor to introduce the classic style of playing to the masses. Because of his worldwide success, his work has been mimicked throughout the publishing world.

Bad Points
- No Left hand fingering included
- Not for all levels (intermediate to advanced)

- Naming of the pieces can be better. No BWV Number i.e Prelude (from 3rd Cello Suite) is BWV1009
Final Words
I would recommend this book for intermediate levels who are interested in playing Bach although you must ge willing to figure out your own left hand fingering. No CD means you will have to search for the track yourself-probably via the internet. Get your copy of J.S.Bach for Acoustic Guitar by Ben Bolt.
