Learn Bach's Minuet in G on Mandolin

This video teaches you how to play Bach's Minuet in G (which is actually written by Christian Petzold). It's a delightful, insanely popular tune. I provide a little music analysis, history of the tune, followed by a detailed lesson of how to play this tune the easy way, and then how to play it a much more fun but harder way. I have some additional links below if you enjoy rabbit holes and the sheet music and tabs are available here:
