Q&A

What will you cover in “Improvising With Bach”?

• We will explore how to expand and develop your soloing language by learning and analyzing two movements from Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (composed between 1703 and 1720), adapted by Ben Eunson for electric guitar: Violin Partita No. 1 in B Minor, BWV 1002: II. Double and Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004: I. Allemanda.
• These two movements serve as excellent studies in arpeggios, scales, and melodies that can be easily adapted and applied within the context of contemporary harmony. Additionally, both movements fit comfortably within the range of a standard electric guitar with 20–22 frets.
• We will analyze a total of 20 excerpts—10 from each of the two movements explored in this masterclass. This analysis will help develop a modern improvisational language inspired by Bach’s compositional approach.
• This online masterclass includes 24 lesson selections (with a total of 23 lesson videos) divided into two sections, featuring in-depth theoretical explanations. All musical examples are notated in both standard notation and TAB. The instructional videos are presented by Ben Eunson and include optional English subtitles.
