Master the Timeless Music of Bach to Build Technique, Fretboard Fluency, and Musical Expression
Struggling to find guitar music that challenges you musically and technically?
J.S. Bach's Fifteen Two-Part Inventions For Guitar presents fifteen of Bach's most elegant contrapuntal studies, carefully arranged by renowned guitarist and educator Levi Clay.
These pieces offer a powerful route to improving your alternate picking, fretboard knowledge, rhythmic precision, and ability to balance independent voices, while learning some of the most enduring music ever written.
Originally composed as keyboard studies for Bach's son, the Two-Part Inventions are now a staple of music education. In this book, Levi adapts them with a guitarist's insight and respect for the original voice leading, presenting a detailed and musically faithful interpretation.
Every piece is backed by real instrument recordings, giving you the tools to develop your phrasing and timing with total clarity.
You'll get backing tracks to accompany both parts so you can perform them on your own - no need for a practice partner!
Here's What You'll Learn:
- Master all 15 of Bach's Two-Part Inventions with accurate, musically sensitive guitar arrangements
- Build fluency across the entire fretboard with a dedicated scale primer in every key
- Refine your alternate picking, rhythm, and control, guided by detailed technical explanations
- Learn to phrase naturally and expressively with practical guidance on articulation and timing
- Explore the use of seven-string guitar for full-range fidelity, with clear six-string adaptation tips
- Practice with six full-length recordings per piece, including both parts in isolation, with and without click
This book goes far beyond standard transcriptions.
Levi Clay has crafted each arrangement to honor Bach's intent, while keeping them practical and playable for the modern guitarist. His deep understanding of technique, tone, and pedagogy shines through every chapter, making this a valuable resource for any serious student of the instrument.
Whether you're aiming to improve your classical technique, expand your musical knowledge, or simply experience the joy of playing some of the most inspired music ever written, J.S. Bach's Fifteen Two-Part Inventions For Guitar will guide you every step of the way.
