Toccata and Fugue in Dm by JS Bach Arrangement for solo guitar ©1999 Howard Coleman Acoustic Guitar Notes http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~coleman/ E-mail: Howard@coleman.globalnet.co.uk Any comments appreciated. PLEASE NOTE: This file is the author's own work and represents his interpretation of the music. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. Please refer to my hand written originals for the rhythm. Tune 6th string to D Start as decicively as possible. I use the nail of my middle finger plucking downwards to get the right attack. This bit is much harder than the complicated runs (believe me!) |--17p15-17---15-13p12------------5p3-5-------------- |----------------------15-14-15------------5h6-------
