Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		I couldn't resist recording (even a quick and dirty recording) with the VXT before it goes away. I had a few minutes, so I dropped it into open-D and recorded The Water Is Wide. You can tell I'm a little stuffy today, but I still like the arrangement. This piece sounds nice on any guitar, 6-string, 12-er, nylon, you name it.

It's one of my very favorite folk pieces.

Feedback is always welcome of course.

Location: Chicago		Nice work, Patch. I sing my little one to sleep with this tune most every night. I never imagined a guitar part with this particular "clave" or pattern: I think it works quite well. Bravo! I also picked up some new chords for the tune, should I break out the O for accompaniment.

Location: Flahdaw		I've played this open-d version for awhile, but also like the Karla Bonoff version, which features James Taylor and J.D. Souther singing background vocals....very nice.

That's very interesting. I didn't know there was another open-D version out there. I made up this arrangement for some friends about 6 or 7 years ago. Just goes to show there's no such thing as a completely original thought anymore I guess. :rolleyes:

Location: Flahdaw		I learned it off an alternative tunings instruction video by Mark Hanson. I think I actually improved upon his version with a bit more picking, a few added chords, and a little instrumental verse in the middle.

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		I'd love to hear your version sometime. From what Iffy's said, you can play rings around me, so I bet it's quite nice.

Is that a Jimi Hendrix quote? ;)

Seriously, that is a very nice song, well played and a great vocal, Patch. I don't think I have ever heard it before, thanks for posting it…
