have any of you guys ever tried pieces or solos written for other instruments on guitar?
sometimes I look at learning pieces / solos written for / played on other instruments for inspiration or simply for the challenge and fun of it..
in the past I've looked at:
- some parts of the JS Bach Cello suites
- the Lute suites, JS Bach
- Italian Concerto 1st mvt [harpsichord], JS Bach
- some parts of The Well Tempered Clavier [harpsichord], JS Bach
- jazzy / rock hammond organ solos by Trace
- some Caprices for violin Paganini
- the 1st violin parts for The Four Seasons Vivaldi [yup… all of it]
- Tocata and Fugue in Dm for Organ JS Bach
- several sax solos [various bands and mostly jazz funk style]
play every note as if it were your first

I have the complete orchestral and harpsichord score for...
JS Bach: all 6 harspichord concertos..
I was looking for something else and stumbled upon it by accident, so I reckon I'll have me a lil' sight read here and there over the crimbo hols...
I got a book of Bach for solo flute in an attempt to improve my guitar soloing and reading but have mislaid it and not got any benefit
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
