This is incredible find. Famous Toccata & Fugue in D minor BWV 565 by Johann Sebastian Bach transcribed for classical guitar and performed by Mel Jones.
Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor is one of the most famous works in the organ repertoire. The first publication of the piece was in 1833, through the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn, who also performed the piece in an acclaimed concert in 1840.

From a keyboard players perspective I would never have thought this piece could be transposed on to a guitar so accurately.
Impressed, really impressed

Thank you Adrienne, it was more an experiment into the possibility of whether it could be done. Best wishes.

Thank you Per-Olov, it took my dad nearly three years to transpose this piece, he wanted it to be as near accurate as possible to the original keyboard work, a bit of an experiment really, just to see if it was possible.
