I don't know why I didn't appreciate it before, I guess I just never gave Bach a chance, but it's some of the most amazing stuff I've ever heard. The counterpoint that makes it feel like the music is spiralling around you is just otherworldly.
My main resources for baroque tabs would be:
- classtab.org - classclef.com
Of the two I would say classtab is the more accurate.
For example, here's the tab for the prelude from 998: https://www.classtab.org/bach_js_bwv0998_lute_suite_in_eb_1_...
Scroll down to the drop-D one, that's the one I play.
With baroque music I find legato is so incredibly important so really concentrate on fingerings that let the notes ring out. There may frequently be an easier fingering to grab but which means you have to stop the bass note too early, so it takes a bit of experimentation to figure it out.
It's very difficult but incredibly rewarding when you manage to produce the counterpoint yourself, I'm smiling to myself the whole time while playing.
I'm still working my way through Sor etudes so I learn the fretboard.

For modern guitar, there are many transcriptions of Bach and Silvius Leopold Weiss lute music.
Always a pleasure to listen to David Russell.
My favourite of his is his arrangement of Handel's passacaglia from HWV 432: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b3D0t1DiEg
If it's baroque don't fix it.
For me, it is his lute music that really shows his genius.
Part of the problem with the classical masters is we speak as if we love all their work the same.
I love Pink Floyd too but that doesn't mean I think all Pink Floyd albums are equal.
