Hey Rob and Anne-Marie,

The answer to your question is:

If I had played ALL the instruments on all the songs I have posted on the forum in the past 2 years it would have taken me 45 years to do it.

If I had tried to find other people to play them correctly and show up on time it would have taken me 175 years.

Please let me know if this adequately answers the question.

Happy Holidays!!!

David,

This is one of my all time favourite melodies of Bach's. It's also the the very first piece of music I remember hearing in 9/8.

In Bach's day, this was regarded as 'perfect time' because it's three lots of three and, from a religious perspective, three is an important number. They used to use a circle in the time signature to indicate that it was perfect time. If a song wasn't perfect time, they used to use a half circle. Over the years, this half circle mutated into a 'C' and became called 'common time'.

I digress, though... back to Bach and you... you've done this well. I can only imagine the challenges of playing it on guitar.

Merry Christmas!
Noel

I wanted to this song on steel pan. One thing I want to point out is I'm not a big fan of the reverb sound your getting. If it's just the room you recorded in, I'm sorry.

Ok, not quite sure what that means.

With regard to reverb I made a conscious decision to do that to get a desired effect of a cathedral. I wanted it that way, and that is what I chose.

I am sorry you did not like it.

Perhaps next time, I will develop a special version for you with no reverb.

Happy Holidays.

Nice playing! I love this song. Great tone too, and for me the amount of reverb in the mix was pretty much perfect.
