Prelude in G Major - Johann Sebastian Bach
Here's the slightly modified version of the original piece for Cello.
Feel free to change any fingering or positions as you see fit.
Gets a little cramped around the 24th fret (did I mention you nee 24 frets)
Stick with it and you'll be impressing your friends in no time.
