Air on a G string JS Bach...Ukulele Solo

Air on a G string - BWV 1068 By JS Bach. Arranged and played on an aNuenue Tenor Light Bird Ukulele fitted with low G tuning! I hope you all enjoy, Mike

Wonderful, Mike! Loved it!

Wow, that is about as nice a presentation as I've seen on an ukulele. I've not yet been able to get comfortable with low G tuning, but that tune is a great example of how nice it can sound. You could do a one-hour coffee shop gig and just play that the entire time, and I think everyone would be happy! Awesome!

Fantastic, Mike! Every time you post a video, it makes me want to pick up my uke and try.

Do you always use low G when you play classical music? I think I need to try a low G.

Beautiful Mike. Air on a G String has been one of my favorites since I was a kid playing French Horn in the high school band. I really enjoyed this, Thank you so much!

I knew I was sold on the lowG, now to make the change!

Bach himself would've loved that arrangement young Michael.
I bet right now he's looking down on you with a big smile on his face.
Well done mate!

Beautifully played with fantastic arrangement
I have the tab for this melody arranged by Tony Mizen but it did not capture my interest!
Great work as usual!

I only play low G so can't really comment on high G......except to say some people get fantastic music from it!

I think an open mind regard the choice of a G string........some people play fantastic music on high G. Whichever option you choose there is a world of music to play!

Thank you Brenda......not aware of Tony Mizen but there would be a few ways to play this music and it sound good I would guess!

Fantastic, Mike. You prove that ukulele can sound classical.
