Prelude in G Major - Johann Sebastian Bach

Here's the slightly modified version of the original piece for Cello.
Feel free to change any fingering or positions as you see fit.
Gets a little cramped around the 24th fret (did I mention you nee 24 frets)
Stick with it and you'll be impressing your friends in no time.

No Picture Ben n00b!	#1 by Ben guillotine at Jun 23, 2006 at 8:50 AM EST
	Great job! Beautiful song. Just one thing. In my opinion, you should replace the "15" on the g string by a "14". By using the 15 and the 16 you play the 3rd minor and major. By using the 14 and the 16 you play the 9th and the 10th (3rd major) of lydian mode which sounds more natural...
