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. email: alextryan@aol.com.
