Walter TrossCan the most famous toccata & fugue of Bach be played on the guitar? Yes, especially if it's an 11-string guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4cAzEvMsHE

Andy Herd@waltertross the 1:02 mark in this video was the exact moment I realised that AC/DC’s riff in thunderstruck is an homage to Bach 😛
TimePencilThat one is technically brilliant, but the Toccata lacked the necessary "patience for suspense" early on and the essential 'pump' later on.
The prog rock band 'Sky' got it right in 1980. (Find it anywhere on YT.)
Here's a kid playing along, in a basement, to Sky's cover, and while he gets the 'pump' right, even he impatiently 'jumps the gun' early on in the piece and comes in half a beat too early on a few occasions.
