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

Peppino D’Agostino, Part 4: Peppino’s Seagull Signature CW QII Guitar

In this video, Peppino D’Agostino demonstrates and discusses his Seagull Signature CW QII guitar (seagullguitars.com). The guitar’s cutaway dreadnought body is built with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. The guitar’s most unusual feature is its neck width, which is similar to that of a classical guitar and measures 1.9 inches at the nut. The instrument includes Quantum II electronics, which consist of an undersaddle pickup, an internal microphone, and an onboard preamp. peppinodagostino.com
