Gideon St.Helen: Bach's "Air on the G String"

[resfalgio]

Nice play bro, for sure...

[mzw]

great job, i knew about the first minute or so of this song for years, but never took the time to get the rest down correctly. and like has already been mentioned, i've gotta relearn.

[luisricardo00]

Very good version. Congratulations from Venezuela. I attached a violin version guitar. What do you think?

[misscarolinec]

I've been learning this in as many different ways possible, I really love the sound of it in C major :)

Thankx for sharing!

[gyshalom]

beautifull ...very nice indeed

[EnvyPerse]

this is in the same key as the one I play with my violin, heck I even play together with your recording... it goes together so well, can I download this? I want to use it as a recorded accompaniment... I'll be playing in a wedding soon, I want to use this

[EnvyPerse]

Brava! Stupenda! Magnifica!

[David777111]

Nicely played!

[tangnatalaga]

Anyways I was looking at the way you play, and you did not have trouble stretching on that part near the end of the second verse. I just do it with 2 notes, the 6th string being the bass. I can stretch all 3 fingers.

[tangnatalaga]

Even tho this piece is slow, it is not that easy to learn. It is also easy to forget how to play. I had to re learn this piece because I forgot to play it after months of not playing a guitar.

[chappahx]

lol. That makes two of us. I need to relearn it

[tangnatalaga]

Thanx for the comment. This is the same tab I use. The ones in ultimate tab is no good. This tab keeps the intergrity of the original with lots of open string for sustain, even tho it is in key of C.

[tangnatalaga]

Thats the same tab I have. He did a few variation on the piece. Very talented indeed.

[santosjrm]

nicely play brother..

[bassnpiano]

Very nice.

[TruthSurge]

nice version

[Ligabueno]

[nigeldude70]

Very well played..

[jonhateley]

I listen to a lot of metal, and I dont know how I came across this video...but when I did I froze. Beautiful tune. Stunned. gj!

[chingvang559]

what? Metal and classical mixes soo well for me

[tangnatalaga]

A lot of heavy metal licks are actually derived from classical music. Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Rick Emmet, are just a few to mention who use classical oriented riffs.

[Wabbitoncrack1978]

[jetslut340]

Wonderful, beautifully measured...just what an Air should be. JSB would have approved!!!

Thank you so,so much

[DakTiger]

very beautiful vid man. Nice soothing sound

[junkyman2]

I've watched a number of air string vids on youtube including other guitar versions, piano and vocal ones but for some reason i keep coming back to your vid as my favorite. I'm a trumpet player and have learned much bout musicality by listening and watching your vid.

[6eLRojas6]

AY! si es robinho que sa cansao del madris y se ha exo artista!

You have played this song with a great feeling.

[fifibg]

Beautifully, beautifully done! Amazing talent! I enjoyed this. :)

[jtothedubya]

that's really good. Vids like this inspire me to keep learning

[simpleeyelid]

wonderful piece, dude, fav

[zaccur]

you did good man, i mean that. you did very good. i never heard it played better. Bach himself would be pissed off, if not jealous, yet satisfied... good job folk.

[matoya]

thank you very much !

[rayuela01]

just the right tempo to illuminate the piece, thank you very

[jenslyn87]

Amazing! I like to listen to this video right before I fall asleep... very relaxing and the music is a work of PURE ART!

[gabriel1812]

wow, that's a great idea. it IS very adequate for before-going-to-bed

[melovetorun]

You make art with your guitar man.

[Tilly220]

Beautiful again. Such a relaxed peaceful delivery here.

[suprememaster0]

anyone who plays Bach on a guitar is a true guitar player. Awesome.

[Rexicano]

"anyone who plays Bach on a guitar is a true guitar player"

Not hardly; Malmsteen ruins Bach when he plays it. So, NOT every guitarist is up to it.

Try Parkening playing this piece for my favorite version (probably only on CD).

Nice job done here.

Suprememaster poster; you seem to annoy people a lot (looking your profile)...wonder what's up with that?

[blikmik]

Sounds amazing bro!!!!

[chappahx]

thanks, God bless

Well done mate!

Yes!

[pianogooroo]

Nicely played chappahx. This is my favorite by Bach.

[chappahx]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[chappahx]

God bless you my Arian friend!!!!!!

[roudi001]

I appreciate your patience!!

[pianogooroo]

get lost in siberia and show the world you care by freezing to death. Peace, Love, Dope.

[mfeltes]

Unless you're implying that this music asserts that Jesus was created by the Father after the beginning of the universe, then I think you mean "Aryan". Don't run into any facts on your way to the dictionary next time.

[roudi001]

Like always the same inferiority complex!

Just head off to your local mental health hospital to help you out of such psychopatic state of mind!!

[scree123]

Very nicely played. Good tempo. Very relaxing.

My best, Don

[chappahx]

Thanks again, Don

[Gangly1]

One of my favourite pieces of all time. Nicely played and the commentary is informative too.

Have a look at Andante Largo playing this. It is sublime.

4 stars, otherwise what do we all give Andante Largo?

Regards,

Paul

[chappahx]

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Yeah Peo is awesome!! I love his interpretation
