ED GERHARD
 
In this lesson, Ed Gerhard teaches his popular fingerstyle arrangement of the traditional tune “The Water is Wide.” Gerhard used dropped-D tuning and a capo at the third fret. Because he tunes his guitar down a half-step from standard pitch, this results in his performance sounding in the key of E. If you prefer, you can leave your guitar in standard dropped-D tuning and place the capo at the second fret instead. Gerhard stresses the importance of supporting the tune’s melody and gives pointers for effectively building an arrangement in a dynamic fashion. virtuerecords.com

Paul Asbell, Part 1: “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home”
 
Paul Asbell is one of the most versatile fingerstyle guitarists around, with solid roots in the blues. Growing up in Chicago, Asbell was fortunate to play with icons like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and many others. In the 1970s, Asbell moved to Vermont, where he still lives. As a member of the jazz group Kilimanjaro, he has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals, and as a solo artist, he has been a mainstay at guitar festivals. When he’s not on the road, Asbell teaches at Middlebury College and the University of Vermont. In this video, Asbell performs his arrangement of the early jazz standard, “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home,” which is also featured on his 2013 album, From Adamant to Atchafalaya. paulasbell.com
