Air on a G String

[jahurofi]

thanksss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tribuncz]

Hats off. It's a very nice version, you are really great player. And thanks a lot for tabs.. best I've found so far.

[wwelti]

@tribuncz Thanks and keep up playing the uke so nicely! :-)

[Appleinc1]

This is so beautiful!!! You are a master, sir, at the ukulele, and should be amongst the greats such as Jake Shikamaburo

[wwelti]

@Appleinc1 Thanks for your flattering comment. Glad you like it :-) However I have deep respect for Jake S. He's in the same league as James Hill. Their realms are not for us mere mortals ;)

[daderth]

this is breathtakingly beautiful :)

[wwelti]

@daderth Thanks :)

[bruddahgeorge]

LOL - I've just reached a point where I thought I could play the ukulele. Then I hear you. Depressing ('cus I can't) and inspiring ('cus I might) all in one hit. Thank you. Absolutely beautiful.

[wwelti]

@bruddahgeorge Aloha, and thanks. Well, let me assure -- you can! I'd like to learn that split stroke one day. If you like my way of uke playing -- it's not as difficult as it perhaps looks. I'm sure you can play classical ukulele well enough if you give it a try :)

Regards, Wilfried

[WarrenBalhaus]

Fantastisch, super gespielt. Respekt!

in Africa we say, it's from small things that big things come off!

Great job

[akdiggnation]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing your version of Bach's Air. I loved it!

[akdiggnation]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing your version of Bach's air! I loved it!

[TokyoUketarist]

Wow best version I have seen for the uke! Great job man!

[wwelti]

Thanks :)

[juncky0810]

DEFINITELY beautiful and graceful, since bach's works are difficult to play, especially on uke.

[rexforddarrow]

Absolutely beautiful. Any chance of sharing the tab with the rest of us?

[wwelti]

Thanks. About tabs: Just see the full description of the video....

[eddyvanbuiten]

[TheAlcedo]

A wonderful piece and a wonderful playing!

[wwelti]

Thank you :)

[craigbrandau]

Very beautiful and well done arrangement!

[wwelti]

Thanks Craig. It was quite some work :)

[JuKeBox661]

Es war mir gerade ein Genuß^10. Bravo!

[wwelti]

Vielen Dank :)

[durak1111]

what octave is the fourth string in?

[wwelti]

This is standard ukulele tuning. GCEA, High G.

[wwelti]

... to be precise, this uke is tuned a little bit higher, but the arrangement will work exactly as well with standard tuning.

[robinstamler]

Beautiful arrangement - thanks very much for making it available

[Witzkatz]

Wilfried, Du machst so schöne Sachen! Ich bin völlig begeistert! Gerade das hier höre ich mir immer wieder an.

Ich kann mittlerweile schon fünf Akkorde (hust!) und übe fleißig weiter, damit ich Dir bald was vorspielen kann ohne rot zu werden.

Liebe Grüße, Witzkatz

[wwelti]

Dankeschön! Schön mal wieder etwas von Dir zu hören, vielleicht sehen wir uns ja irgendwann mal wieder :)

[mailomail]

wwelti I admire you!!! You are so talented. I`m a guitar player but now I wanna buy ukulele because you showed me that ukulele isn`t just a primitive instrument. It`s a professional instrument and everything can be played on it, even classical music. Thank you for inspiring me

[wwelti]

Thank you. Be sure to get a good one. For example, Kala Ukuleles are good and not too expensive. I wish you a great time :)

[bttzd]

Bonito som !!!

[wwelti]

Thanks :)

[deach69]

So wonderful.

[wwelti]

[suuzzee5]

Glorious and perfect for this soft sunny morning on the mountain. Thanks to rhopen for sharing your video. Your musicianship is without peer.

[wwelti]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your nice comments, Suze :)

[MartinRaetzJr]

That's really a big surprise! Bach on Ukulele - one may think, what can only be a musical joke. But what you show us here is really great classical music. The arrangement is absolutly correct and your interpretation is outstanding. My highest respect and thanks for these experience.

Martin

[wwelti]

Thanks. You should know that John King was very good at playing Bach on the Uke. There are some good recordings from him on YouTube.

Regards, Wilfried

[MartinRaetzJr]

Thank you for this information.

[wwelti]

Thank you :)

[TanteA]

Großartig! Ich höre es mir gerade zum dritten Mal an. Ich habe auch eine Ukulele aber hatte bis jetzt noch keine Vorstellung, was man damit alles anstellen kann.

Anette

[wwelti]

Hallo Anette! Erstmal Glückwunsch zur Ukulele :) -- Man kann noch viel mehr damit anfangen! Ich bin ja eigentlich auch ein halber Anfänger! Schau ruhig noch nach anderen Youtube-Beiträgen von anderen Ukulele-Spielern!

Gruß, Wilfried

[rhopen]

Danke Anette :o) -Ron

[talondarkx]

Hey, this is really great! I think I'm going to try to learn your tab so that I can play the ukulele while my fiance walks down the aisle, cause it's really beautiful and she loves when I play the ukulele.

[wasabichaduke]

Beautiful!!

[Raffpio]

..... wonderful.....

[aluardy]

Hey, das ist ja wunderschön!

[wwelti]

Vielen Dank Matthias!

Ich verstehe die Ukulele im Vergleich zur Gitarre als ein klanglich authentischeres Instrument für alte Musik :) -- eine schöne Laute wie Du sie hast ist mir zur Zeit noch zu teuer :)

[sukajazz]

Lovely...

[kaburto1966]

Heavenly!

[BAWL1983]

Wooooooooooow ... mein neuer Lieblings-wwelti-Beitrag! ;)

[AnthonyDeaton]

Another 5 Star performance!  I've always loved this piece too, and you truly do it justice. Absolutely beautiful!

[wwelti]

Thanks Anthony! It's such a challenge to get Bach on the uke, but it's definitely worth the effort :)

[bingcro]

beautiful just beautiful now that is playing the uke.

some young girl keeps posting and she gets comments like awesome where from I dont know but this is really awesome

[wwelti]

Thanks :)

[riceboii101]

Beautiful this really is Bach on ukulele.what tuning is your uku in?

[wwelti]

Thanks. Tuning is (A# D# G C), as you can see in the description ;)

[654321654321]

this is fantastic, really.

i´m impressed, the arrangement and the playing are great.

sometime ago i had some problems with youtube´s audio too, in some of my charango videos. (...maybe youtube doesn´t like small stringed instruments!! hahaha)

even if youtube ruins the sound quality, i still think the sound is very good on this video.

greetings, R.

[wwelti]

Thanks :) ... I hope the YT sound issue will be resolved eventually. In the meantime I will try to provide links to vimeo with every YT upload.

Regards, Wilfried

[AndanteLargo]

WoW! WWelti! What Wonderful Wersion! (couldn't resist the W joke)

Seriously! This is just amazing!! HoW do you do it!!?? Bach on a Uke and it sounds just great!! Really great! You are such a talent Wilfried!

Regards,

Peo

[wwelti]

Guten Tag,

Julie

[wwelti]

Danke Julie :)

[billkilpatrick]

beautifully played - some consider the uke to be a toy - in your hands, it ain't. complimenti.

[wwelti]

Thanks Bill. Ha -- the Uke a toy? This is what I'd call a foolish opinion! :)

I don't know many instruments which are that accessible and versatile.

Regards, Wilfried

[fritzhermann]

[phillipsderek]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the tab. Now I'm going to have to try and learn it, which could be easier said than done.

[wwelti]

Thanks! Good luck with it! I know you will play it very well :)
