I’m offering a few editions here: the Prelude for BWV 1007 fully fingered for free, a free unfingered edition, premium tab, and two non-editorial editions of the entire suite so players can compare their scores to the originals. This iconic work is great for performance and also a favourite for gigs and weddings, in particular, the signing. You can also find the tab as a hardcopy in my Classical Guitar Tab book on Amazon.

Prelude (TAB) by Bach from Werner Guitar Editions – My dedicated sheet music store.
Free Non-Editorial Score (Entire Suite) – Presented in treble clef and transposed to alternate keys. No fingerings or unnecessary octave transpositions. Useful as a reference, comparison score, a basis for your own arrangement, or a simple clean score for performance. However, I would recommend you look at an editorial edition or consult your teacher if you are not comfortable making informed decisions about Bach on the guitar. I don’t consider this an “edition” at all, just a transposed facsimile.
