Wow! So beautiful and flowing. I absolutely love your style. Ewan Dobson turned me on to you, and I am so happy he did. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot coming from you.
When i started playing guitar it wasn't on a classical at all, it was on an Ibanez RG! You, and other artists who incorporated classically inspired material into their compositions turned me on to classical music in general. Thank you for the inspiration.
I'm so happy you enjoyed my playing!

Find me one guitarist in the world today whose technique, phrasing, dynamics, intonation and over all musicality are on par with that of Drew Henderson. Drew owns this piece, as he does so many others.

[DrewHendersonGuitar]

Wow! Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed the video.
I hope to bring many more Bach interpretations to youtube.

Breath takeingly beautiful. Not many people can play Bach with soul.

[davidmcmillin]

You are a true master of the guitar! Bravo sir...

I just discovered you yesterday. Part of me wants to immerse myself in your music, but another part of me is just limiting myself to sips because it is so intoxicating, every time I hear you play I am moved to tears. Thank you for this wonderful gift. ❤

[DrewHendersonGuitar]

Thank you very much!
Stay tuned, I'm currently waiting to release 5 more videos in support of my new album (to be released soon). After that, A LOT more 8-string Bach.

I want you to know that you have a fan here in the Philippines. Your music is indescribably beautiful. Can't get enough of it, especially your renditions of Bach and Mozart, you and Mr. Kolk.

[markallred]

Drew, I am delighted to be one of your subscribers. You do not fail to delight me with your performances and I love to watch your long fingers move up and down the frets. Your partner, Kolk, is equally enchanting! Please continue mesmerising me.

I was struck by the sheer nobility of the performance.
Thanks for the great video.

[WarrenPostma]

Wonderful. I like the lovely ringing bass notes on the extra strings and it is totally worth it having them show up for their extra depth.

[DrewHendersonGuitar]

Thank you so much. All these comments mean more to me than the likes, and i appreciate you taking the time to write.

[hbourgeois]

Amazing dominance of the guitar. Most beautiful.

[amonar]

I can tell that you truly love Bach, Drew. That was exquisite, passionate and inspiring.

[raffitorossian]

AN EXCELLENT GUITARIST WITH SUPER FEELING AND FINALLY EXCELLENT HENDERSON...!...A REAL GENIUS...!

[oscarmorales]

That was in my opinion one of the best interpretation of this master piece!

[raffitorossian]

Excellent melody....excellent performance....excellent technic....excellent

[elionapolitano]

Questo pezzo stabilisce una frontiera nel virtuosismo chitarristico e nella interpretazione di Bach. Una bravura che lascia senza fiato.

[oldhippo]

There is a depth in his sound which exceeds all the boundaries.
