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

Teja Teaches “Seven Years,” Part 1
 
“Seven Years” has four sections and combines standard fingerstyle techniques with some two-handed tapping and harmonic slaps that take advantage of the tuning’s open strings and root/fifth intervals in the bass strings. Teja walks you through each section, explaining the two-handed tapping technique used in the B sections, for example, and showing you some of the intricacies of the standard fingerstyle sections, including some bass notes played with the picking-hand fingers instead of the thumb.
