Hello. I'm a second year Japanese high school student. I love classical music. I want to play this song like you. I'll do my best until I can play. Thank you.
Three years ago my guitar teacher played this piece for me when I first met him. It was the first time I ever heard classical guitar and I didn’t know music such as this could be played. Today, I just finished learning your transcription of Air, and in August I’m off to music school to continue studying the guitar. Thank you Mr. Kindgren for your inspiration
Sir, since I know you will read this, I must tell you: words fail me to describe this performance and arrangement. It is ineffable. You have taken a perfect piece of music for several instruments and arranged it beautifully for one without, somehow, sacrificing anything. Your expression is clear without being overly sentimental, your playing is very clean, and I hear all the voices, and the nuance. I assure you, my friend: Bach himself smiles when this plays. God Bless You
This video is the one that introduced me to the Guitar about 15 years ago and since then i was Fascinated to the instrument. Now i’m a guitarist myself and this video is one of the reasons that i picked up the guitar. Thank you Sir for this beautiful performance
I purchased the transcription to this in 2013. It took me about 3 years to learn to play it, and commit it to memory. I played it at my Mom's funeral in 2017, and have never played it since. I tried to play it the other day, and there's no way, not even remotely possible. I searched for the transcription and could not find it. There are other versions available for sale online, but none as good as this one. Finally, I found it last night on an old external hard drive. I'm so happy; I can't wait to re-learn it. I have the first few bars back, but have a long way to go.
hello sir, I'm back again after 8 months. I'm listening to your guitar with serenity and this song for some reason has a place in my heart. I'm struggling with my mental state right now. I'm not doing well, and I've been physically ill for 1 year and maybe mentally ill for 2 years. I've been on medication more than 10 times but it's not getting better. I saw the expensive medical costs and the financial condition of my parents worsened since the pandemic, I began to endure this pain alone. I endured this pain alone and I cried alone. I only tell what I feel to other people, but I don't tell why I am like this, what is the problem. I thought if I told them they would laugh at what I said and I'm so scared of it. I thought "maybe I'm just dramatic", then I thought if I'm dramatic why does this wound hurt so much. sometimes I hate other people, if I tell them they will say "everyone loves and cares for you", but the truth is I feel like I have no one. even to my nearest and dearest people, I feel they are far from me and I am alone. I know that all this is not my fault, but I always repeat something that they says is not my fault. and why am I talking here because this song, this song is like telling my little heart to be patient and believe that everything will be fine. several times I feel sad when I listen to this song, but this song calms me down in difficult situations. I don't know if you read my comment, but at least I just want to say that your guitar playing is very good and thank you for calming my heart in this very difficult situation. Thanks again sir if you see this ❤ .
Hi Alfi, I always read my listeners comments. But I don't always reply. (I have to practise my guitar too... ) :-) I am sorry you have health issues both physically and mentally but I am sure no one is laughing at you if you tell them. I hope you will get better very soon. Meanwhile music is a great "healer"! When I'm feeling sad or bad, music helps me a lot. I hope it can help you too. All the best! Per-Olov
I’ve tried playing this so many times. As a guitar teacher it is so humbling to hear and see this performed by a master, without flaw and with such incredible depth.
Mr. Kindgren, i've been watching your videos for a long time, im from Costa Rica, and when i had to write an essay on the most inspiring and influential classical musicians for me, i wrote about you and this piece in specific, i learned your arrangement of this song about a year ago, and it inspires me a lot, you are certainly a huge influence on my playing, i remember watching your videos and wondering if i could play like you some day, im getting better, it's been around 6 years since i picked up a guitar for the first time. I just want to say thank you, this performance of air melts my heart and makes fall in love with music every time, thank you for being such a huge inspiration, and i will always remember you master Kindgren!, i hope you are doing good, greetings from Costa Rica.
Hello old friend.... I decided to pickup guitar after a long hiatus due to health issues which led to severe depression which is why I am back on this page because playing guitar always made me happy so going to start playing after many years off. Specifically classical even though I am a blues and metal guy. Going to learn this song and relearn Bouree. I have the sheet music I purchased from you years ago and wanted to hear you play first to get motivated and first thing I noticed your replied to someone just hours ago. That means you are still alive & well and still doing what you love. Awesome to see you still chatting with your friends. That alone lifts my spirits. Your sheet music in tabs was amazing and I kid you not after I bought it like 8 years ago a month later I played Bouree note-for-note from just your tabs and your video. Your transcriptions were spot on. Gonna take at least a month to get that muscle memory back but so what. Keeps me sane and in the moment and it's hard to worry about sh*t when I stay focused. Learning this new song will bring me some much needed serenity . Thanks again for the video. Makes learning this music using your tabs easy at least for me. This song is so beautiful and peaceful. I highly suggest any of your fans & friends reading this buy Per's tabs if you are willing to put the time in to learn it. And once you learn a song play it everyday for life or as often as needed to stay in muscle/brain memory. I will post again once I learn this with a link of me playing on YT. Be the first video I uploaded with guitar. Now I am being held accountable because I put this out to Universe. Bye for now🙏
Dear Bob. I am glad to hear you are recovering and that you start playing again! Please stay this way! Yup, you just committed yourself in public! No way back now! :-) Play again. Next to love, music is the best! All the best and stay safe! Per-Olov
I watched this video like 10 years ago (?), when i was in middle school.. and now i come back here again.. i'm getting married soon how fast time flies
I can listen to this all day long. my late father could have played this if he didn't passed away in 2010. He will just listen to the music and he can play it by heart. I miss him everyday. I come here and listen to this wonderful man.
Isnt it beautiful how music contains so much power and emotion.. it draws souls together and brings worlds together in a way that nothing else can.. God's blessings..
Beautiful... Absolutely tear inducing. I'm a huge Metalhead but classical music is what i listen to every night before i sleep and this my friend hit a spot in me old heart
I 'm coming back to this video since years now and everytime anew i can't hold tears back because of your beautiful and emotional playing. This is one of my classical favorite peaces from J. S. Bach and i've never seen or heard a better performance of this. Thank you Mr. Kindgren. You realy understand what music is meant to be.
Love to see this piece so frequently listened to even you uploaded it almost 12 years ago. Young as I am, I'll keep this piece and my guitar with me for my whole life.
The most beautiful interpretation and version for guitar since 13 years! Mr kindgren, please, continue to play Bach, you bless my soul! God bless you..
I've heard this air hundred times, so I wasn't expecting much, but your interpretation blew my mind. Very delicate, very sweet, very groovy. I love it.
The fact that you're still answering comments 15 years later made my day !
;-) Thank you.
@@Per-Olovkindgren haha 🙂🎸
Sorry I'm 15 years late
fantastic
Any tab for this magnificent piece? Beautiful playing!!!! )
Damn he posted this over a decade ago and he is still liking comments posted hours ago
Yep he liked mine from yesterday
Bet he won't like that one. But you know we're all scabs in the alley
Hello.
I'm a second year Japanese high school student.
I love classical music.
I want to play this song like you.
I'll do my best until I can play.
Thank you.
you need to teach me "how to do my best". Seriously.
it gives me a moment of peace. thank you - from a patient who has severe depression and bipolar disorder.
Good morning today same
Hard to believe that somebody wrote this music. Amazing.
It was written by Bach 🤦♂️🙄
@@juanbadilla2232
He knows that. He meant it is so good and beautiful its hard to believe a normal human wrote it.
@@sebaba001 Bach we'rent no normal human being. 😉
@@juanbadilla2232 Not only that, but arrangement is out of this world too.
@@kurtrueckel1254 He always wrote a footnote on his musical sheets, saying : « To God only be the glory »
You play each note with such feeling and precision it's like a blacksmith forging his creation with a hammer. Your skill is truly amazing.
A Harmonious Blacksmith, perhaps. *pun intended ;)
For years i keep coming back, just to hear you playing this again and again.
Thank you for doing that.
Me too. Mr. Per-Olov Kindgren is Maestro of classical guitar as well as this music of J.S.Bach
Three years ago my guitar teacher played this piece for me when I first met him. It was the first time I ever heard classical guitar and I didn’t know music such as this could be played. Today, I just finished learning your transcription of Air, and in August I’m off to music school to continue studying the guitar. Thank you Mr. Kindgren for your inspiration
That is so nice to hear Soren! Thank you for your support by ordering the sheet music from me! Appreciated.
Happy playing and keep it up!
Per-Olov
You made a 26 year old man cry like a little girl. Thank you. One of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced

You inspired me to play classical guitar 10 years ago.. currently playing to my church as part of music ministry... Thank you so much
Love the subtle changes in timbre by moving further away from the bridge and the changing the attack on the strings, great control
Thank you Marisa! Appreciated.
This video is the one that introduced me to the Guitar about 15 years ago and since then i was Fascinated to the instrument. Now i’m a guitarist myself and this video is one of the reasons that i picked up the guitar. Thank you Sir for this beautiful performance
Very cool! I'm happy to know my music could inspire you to start playing! That's very nice to know.
Keep playing!
Per-Olov
To me, this is the most romantic Air i ever heard. Looks simple but beautiful. A lot of soul.
Thank you! Appreciated.
I've come back to this video every now and again over the past 10 years to listen again and appreciate the beautiful playing.
Wow, thank you!
The calmness with which you play and the gentle dynamics are something else.
Thanks a lot!

何より音が美しい、ハートフルな音楽が流れている。 自分の解釈で個性的でありながら自然である。 素晴らしい音楽だ！！！
この有名なバッハのアリアも、フーガとともに今取り組んでいます。バッハには、とても抵抗できない深く高く神秘的魅力があります。

Muchas gracias.

You’re welcome Alexandre.
you can see how much this piece influenced the beatles. a masterful track and a masterful adaptation
Dear Per, your playing is filled with the Holy Spirit, such beauty and peace...
This is the best guitar cover of Bach’s “Air” I’ve seen! Great job!
*Thank you*
I just love that video is over a decade old and the poster is still interactive in the comments section. That's dedication.
This is beautiful, I could lay outside and listen to this for hours .
Thank you Meghan! Hopefully indoor too! :-)
THIS IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, I WANNA CRY OMG😭😭❤️
Thank you so much! Appreciated.
I watched this video like 10 years ago (?), when i was in middle school.. and now i come back here again.. i'm getting married soon how fast time flies

Great touch, something 99.999999999999999% of all guitarists overlook/incapable of.
My man still liking comments after 13 years, very tranquilizing performance, plan on learning this arrangement soon.
I can listen to this all day long. my late father could have played this if he didn't passed away in 2010. He will just listen to the music and he can play it by heart. I miss him everyday. I come here and listen to this wonderful man.
Isnt it beautiful how music contains so much power and emotion.. it draws souls together and brings worlds together in a way that nothing else can.. God's blessings..
I feel so happy to be alive right now. Thank you so much
Beautiful... Absolutely tear inducing.
I'm a huge Metalhead but classical music is what i listen to every night before i sleep and this my friend hit a spot in me old heart
