BWV 1020 Flute Sonata Part 1 - J. S. Bach
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: yeah27
This tune has lots of feeling, good melody and it's good practise for technique.
For the exact rhythm refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2NSKgvBzmg
Tuning: standard
There is plenty of vibrato, to give an idea i add to the first line
and i add some here and there but just because it ain't there doesn't mean it ain't there :) That being said it can be played in many ways of course.
The original is more staccato, you could get a midi file for FL Studio and play it idk
something like 10 to 20 bpm slower.
chords for piano intro, it's some good fun to just play the bass in 1/8 to it:
g,D7 g,D7 g,F,Bb,F,D7,g,c, D7 for a while then g,D7,g
vib vib vib slight vib after tone rang
