Last week someone asked for the tab for Bach's Prelude from BMV 999
(Praelude in C moll pour la Lute di J S Bach).  It is one of Bach's
most popular pieces for guitar.  It was originally in Cm, but is
trans-posed to Dm for guitar.  I like to play it brisk and flowing
with a slight accent on the the base notes.  It is in 3/4 time;
the |'s represent 8th notes.  Let me know if you find any mistakes.

There is another way of playing this prelude where you damp the bass at every
measure. I don't which is correct but i think it sounds better when you damp
the bass.
