Thank you Neil & Matt. This site just keeps getting better. This has been on my wish list for a while and now I'm going to take a serious crack at it. As Michelle said, it's probably going to be a long-term project from my current starting point.

>>Newest Target Lesson - Bourree - a classical Guitar Instrumental
I am really happy to see this lesson. I have been working on this piece for a while from a file a found on the internet and from looking at Neil's playing, I am nowhere close. I do not mind at all re-learning it as at least I have good guidance now.
Thanks for posting this lesson, this is another reason why anybody who wants to learn guitar have to join Target.

A level 8 tune is a bit of a stretch for me at the moment but it's something to aspire to down the road.

Blasphemy against whom? Tenacious D or Bach? I don't automatically think of it, but probably only because I've knew the original, in its various incarnations, for so long before T-D's version. If anything, I think of Jethro Tull's version.
A couple of thoughts/questions on Bourree (I won't get into how it's supposed to be spelled -- most online sources have it as it is here, "Bourree," while all but one of the half dozen or so versions I have in iTunes have it as "Bouree.")
First, Neil -- I presume that the little snatch of a different version that you play in the "notation and fingering" video is Jethro Tull's. Like, I suspect, many people here, that's the first version I ever heard. Would love a lesson on that someday. I can't find much info about it, though. I'd really like to hear details of how they came up with that arrangement, if anyone knows anything about it. Also, are there cover versions of that version anywhere?
Mainly, what I wanted to know about is other versions of other Bourrees. Particularly, John Williams does something called "Suite No. 3 in C Major: Bouree I & II." It's quite similar, but has a different melody. I can't find info on that, either. Anyone know anything about it? Is it also Bach?
This is what Williams played in the first iteration of "The Secret Policeman' Ball" oh so long ago. Here's the studio version on YouTube.
