Project: Bach Prelude in D minor

My buddy John and I have been casually playing music together for about a year.  Off and on we jam when we feel the motivation, but whenever we hang out our conversations immediately turn to music, video games, and women.

One of those conversations via text message had John mention Bach's Prelude in D minor.  A quick search for some sheet music and a quick PDF download later and I had found my new project. I quickly discovered that the piece is much more difficult than I initially assumed, but I hope to be able to play it smoothly within a month.  In about a week I have the first half down reasonably solid, but leave it to Bach to ensure the last half of the piece is immensely more difficult than any challenge presented by the start of the piece.

My goal is to have a recording ready to post on you tube before the end of the year.  This is a pretty big milestone task for me so I am excited to see how this goes.
