MemberApril 6, 2025 at 4:12 pm in reply to: Bourrée in E minor (Johann Sebastian Bach)Hi Beth, thanks so much for your kind words! I work on these usually one bar at a time and then one section at a time and then finally piecing the whole thing together. Then once I get the whole thing together I try to practice few times each day at different times (especially at morning and night if possible) and that tends to help me memorize and build fluidity. And once I feel comfortable I’ll start working on my next song to learn and keep practicing the one I just learned. It took me all together about 3-4 weeks to ‘learn’ this all the way through and I’ve been playing it almost daily for 3-4 weeks now and still stumble on many of the same parts I did in this video but it’s getting better – and I’m still not sick of the song. Yeah, Bach. 🙂

The Taylor in the videos is a 714ce w/Sinker Redwood top. The Taylor on the bed is a GS-Mini koa+ which is what I mostly practice on because it’s small and light and I can play it on the couch or in the backyard or at the park and still sounds great.
