How I got into baroque... Well in high school I self taught me some piano songs from the classical era. Eventually I got big into Bach... and started learning some of his stuff on guitar. Then I got into shred when i discovered Malmsteen and other neo classical bands... but eventually that got boring for me and found myself years later back to transcribing Bach music. A year ago I discovered that Bach seemed heavily influenced by Vivaldy, as he did many re compositions of vivaldi's works to keyboard. So this past year I'm big into Vivaldi... he has a flashy essence!
