Hi folks here im playing the famous Air by Bach. Here I am doing it by heart. Im trying to incorporate dynamics and vibrato control. Consequently my counting suffered a bit i figure. There are some minor intonation issues which addressing at the moment. In this version i believe i sounded my best despite the flaws. I truely enjoyed myself.

Let me know what you guys think. Juan.

I don't think anything suffered, Juan.

That was superb.

I agree with Ken.  Nothing suffered .. Everything gained.   Superb rendition.. A favorite of mine.  You did very well and you have every reason to be pleased with your playing.  Bravo bravo bravo.

Love love love Air, Bach... And you gave me another reason to love it!

Yes Juan. Not only well done but very brave of you to perform this A cappella.
Keep up the great work. :)

Thanks everyone to take a few minutes of your time to listen to me play. Strange thing is that i may like the way the piece sounds when im playing it but i never approve of listening to myself on a recording lol.

@fiddlerman thanks a lot bro! I got the second violin part to learn now it will be really good to know what it sounds like. Hope i can find someone to play this with.

Guess I was on vacation when you recorded this.  Nicely done Juan.

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Juan, that was beautifully played!! You gave me chills, I love that piece.

It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself. Johann S.Bach
