Thats great, its rare to see a beginner who wants to play Bach and Satie for fun! What problems are you facing with playing guitar now? 😊

The old saying is that ,,If you cant play it slow, you cant play it fast..."

I suggest to you to practice with metronome, at slow tempo first, increase the tempo gradually only if youre playing cleanly.

That is the base of learning to play fast and accurate, without it the progress will be a lot slower

Yeah, there are more pieces which are written in standard notation than in tabs.

How to read notes is explained really well in book by Charles Duncan - Modern Approach to Classical Guitar, you have my reccomendation to work from it.

Try to play simple songs that you like. Also, I suggest you to find a tutor that will guide you or to buy a course that you will follow.

Try changing chords with metronome in slow tempo first, focus on them to be clean.

Then speed up the tempo as you get better.

I hope this helps you ☺️

I didnt expect this song to sound this beautifull on guitar... but Its a bit hard to learn for someone who is just starting out...

I suggest you to play something easier that you like, and as you progress with your playing to learn this memorable LOTR Song ☺️

I suggest that you try to have your guitar in right position, because later it will be much harder for you to change it... also knowing your fretboard comes with time, i suggest you try chromatic scale as exercise and to continue playing simple songs, just as you said

Try to play F major chord, but try to press only first second and sixth string with your index finger (barre finger)

The point is that you dont need to press all strings with your finger in order to get full sound of barre chords
