[xxxDNgirl]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!



[kidfromstatenisland]

What an incredible gift you have been given. You touch so many people in so many ways.

[vhrrhr]

I thought the pleasure of being a good musician was to teach your students. Maybe I was wrong, today it's all about the money, that's heartbreaking... I can't learn that song because of $5 since i don't have a credit card...

I'm 16 and never in my life i had to pay to learn music, and so i never earned anything but pleasure of playing.

However, beautiful music

Hope someday I can take this tab by ear, for now I unfortunately don't have skills for that

[wendys120]

This is beautiful :)

[jabspank]

you continue to blow my mind. Such a talent. Thankyou for posting to lift my day

[chairtygilgen]

I am going to have a baby in January and my blood pressure was up a bit today, left work, came home, looked for soft music... this is so perfect! beautiful.  B/P is now 116/69 :) thank you!

[xEd3n]

Q hermosa musica T_T!

[AlexKud0691]

Some of your pieces so very beatuful that I cannot resist to cover it . Would you mind ?

[averoche]

Oh my god....

I really miss my girl who studied in Germany.

This song somewhat really takes my heart at ease....

[misschocolatecosmos]

its wonderful:))

i learn this now and i think ,although it isnt too difficult to play it, but the melody is beautiful:D

[joe357135]

Wonderful piece! Thanks a lot!

[mhillman159]

I don't know why but it reminds me a bit of Jurrasic Park :)

Beautiful as always.

[catanlorca]

Your playing makes me smile... because it is so wonderful.

Thank you so much, Mr. Kindgren.

[mateusz1945]

I am wondering how to record that professional sound at home... do i have to be so rich to afford this guitar and other stuff?

playing and your perfect technique its different story, maybe i could playd like that ( after 100's try)

but this sound? is there hope for poor guy hah

what do you think per-olov?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi poor guy. :-) No, you need only to practise and buy one of those digital recorders like Zoom H4 or something. And add some reverb and that's it! :-)

I hope you can do this. But playing a lot is the most important thing here...

Good luck,

Per-Olov

[tmartin3]

sounds a little like Carcassi

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Carcassi!? I am sorry but I really don't think so.

Thanks for listening.

Per-Olov

[tmartin3]

hmmm....Well it reminds me of something...I'll think on it.

[lardo444]

@AndanteLargo If I was there, I would say, BRAVO, perfect. Man, you are one hellofa guitar player. the best!

peace, lardo.

[kenmaugee]

[ThorOtto92]

wounderful. i has been stressed all day, but when i heard your song, i relaxed. it's an masterpiece. By the Way, are you from skandinavia or something? since your Name is Per-Olov. spunded swedish or norwegian. please pardon my english, and i hope you don't have so much problem to read this :)

[AndanteLargo]

Beautiful as always.

Thanks

[AndanteLargo]

Hei! Tak!

Per-Olov

[Gunner54457]

I love your music.. er du fra Norge? I look forward to learning some of your music as a classical guitarist. Du er veldig godt a spille guitar!

Hopefully my norsk is not too bad!

[AndanteLargo]

Tak! No I am Swedish. But I have lived in Denmark for 40 years. Now I am back in Sweden again. :-) Your Norsk is very good! Are you Norwegian? :-)

Per

[Gunner54457]

Yes... I am Norwegian, although I'm from America. My guitar teacher gave me some A. Lauro to work on and I went to your videos for some interpretations. I would love to learn your piece "Solitude," it is beautiful! All your compositions are in fact! Do you tour? Or do you have any concerts in the states? Thanks for the reply and my very best wishes to you!

Curt

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Curt. Lauro is a great composer for the guitar. You can find all my compositions at per-olovkindgren(com). I will go to LA next year but onlt very short. It's very difficult for Europeans to play i the States if you are not directly invited. Some trade protection rules... :-(

Thank you for your interest and I hope you will play some of my pieces one day.

Per-Olov

[bobbyzz94]

Hello,

by Günter Geurts version of this wonderful piece of music I was led to the "Original" on your site - it's really a wonderful tune, so impressive, played with much emotions and nuances and great musical feeling - amazing ...

kind regards

Robert

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Robert. Günters version is very good! I am honored he plays it!

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[todd5854]

I really like your classical guitar. The nylon strings really do make it sound beautiful. Do you record with a microphone on a camera, or is there a pickup in the guitar?

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. Yes, I record with a good mic to the camcorder. There are no pickups in my guitars.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[todd5854]

Thank you very much for responding! I hope to buy a classical guitar as well. I really like the sound of them, I hope to be able to play one as well as you. Currently I play electric, but there's no way to make that sound as sweet as a nylon string.

Best Wishes,

Todd M.

[MarkAntony]

Hi Peo! What?? You have time to compose even when in Miami?? You really are the dedicated professional..But then you prove that every piece you play..

Take care amigo.

[AndanteLargo]

Hola Amigo! Como estás? Yes, in Miami i was extra inspired with Marie listening to my 'creations' :-)

I hope you are well.

Per

[daxispiano]

Who's marie? Was she your lost love?

[lunalunanueva]

Hey! I'm still here :)

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[jak110sfd]

[AndanteLargo]

Marie is the most beautiful, intelligent and funny woman I know! Her soul, person and art inspires me immensely!

I also love her very much.

[DethByMyIbanezAxe]
