I'd like to add one tidbit to the loads of great advice...I keep a stave notebook and a couple of pencils in my case so I can notate chord changes, and such. This is especially handy when playing original pieces from new guitar players (assuming they kow where they are going) . That way I can work on the material after I've gone home.

Hey Sam, my sincere thanks! They're very nice. Boy was I surprised to hear... Arco. I don't know why I was expecting pizz. Meyer's bowing is really lovely. On the video I have he makes it look totally effortless. I'm sure I could bow like that if I could afford such nice equipment

Also I have to thank mint_bass for starting this thread. It's got me back playing the Suites. I'm going to take a more regimented appoach this time. I used to just flip it open and play to work on my reading. This time I want to try to learn to play them as well as I can on cello. So I've picked out the Courante and the Minuets in the first Suite to start with...
