The Bourrée from Suite in E Minor BWV 996 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). Grab the free PDF sheet music or buy the tab. Most likely this was written on the keyboard or the lautenwerck, or lute-harpsichord but is often referred to as a Lute Suite. That said, this piece is often played by guitarists despite the relative difficulty of the second half. Aim for voice independence throughout, that is, clear connection of the two voices the entire time. You may wish to practice the upper and lower parts separately to connect the musical lines in your ear.
An unfingered edition is available upon request.

Huge assist in learning this piece.
Great to hear it. Thanks for the feedback.
More or less perfect in terms of the quality of the transcription and ease of purchase. Great clarity too with regard to the video which is focused and helpful. The rest of the website and its contents are a goldmine for classical players of whatever level. And thank you for being considerate enough to include tab for those of us who don't read notation.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Happy practicing!
