One of the most majestic, heartfelt pieces from the Baroque Era master, Johann Sebastian Bach's Air on a G String is the second movement in his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068.

Played on a solo classical guitar, the Air takes on a more intimate tone, expressing through music those powerful human emotions which often defy words, seen through the eyes of each guitarist who plays it.

You call AIR ON THE G STRING advanced. Thank you for the compliment. I have only been playing for a year and a half, using resources like videos and sheet music and literary books to learn how to play music and guitar.

To those who are trying to be cheap and figure the piece by just watching the video, I invite you to buy the music, it is much easier and faster to learn. I started the same way, then got tired of the back and forth in playing the video. I made the investment of buying the sheet music from LAGA and Im totally happy I did. I also found out that by just watching the video I was missing notes. The video serves as good guide for me, since I only know how to read tabs. LAGA keep up the good work!

I still don't get why so many people who should know better continue to incorrectly name this incredible piece of music. Bach's " Air " from his 3rd Orchestral Suite is played in the key of D major, like the video is. Air on a G string is an arrangement by August Wilhelmj late in the 19th century, dropping down one whole note from D major to C major, such as is most commonly played on the guitar. He did it because he realized that in so doing, the entire piece could be played on a single string on the violin, i.e., the " G " string, thus giving his arrangement it's name. Whatever, this piece of music by the master is in my opinion, one of the most beautiful compositions Bach, or anyone, has ever written.

Your repertoire is just fascinating, as it's all that guitarists don't play but want to play!

Just bought the sheet music (including the tabs) for this one and I must say that they're pretty accurate and easy to figure out!! Can't play it yet as perfectly as this master does, but keep improving my technique everyday by practicing and watching the videos!! Congrats for the good work LAGA!!
