The Water Is Wide (fingerstyle)

[KathyWaikoloa]

Great arrangement! Love the use of the minor chords, put in all the right places!

[bobvocal]

This is absoloutly beautiful , all my respects to you perhaps one day you may take a listen to my vocal on this song at BOBVOCAL THE WATER IS WIDE if you do I would be honoured, bob

[cobycracker]

what language do the speak in the comments above?

[HanzP]

@cobycracker English and German!

[heycolslaw]

Back again for another listen, Hanz! So Glad you decided to record this.

[heycolslaw]

Hanz, still my favorite guitar video of all time . ABSOLUTELY CLEAN superbly executed perfect in expression . If I smoked ( and I used to) this would be the fine Havana cigar after an excellent meal. Thanks again, Hansel!

[SabMei1]

Das ist wirklich ein schönes Stück Hansel. Ich kann schon verstehen, dass Annah dazu singen wollte. Du spielst es so schön einfühlsam!

Liebe Grüße nach Lemgo - Sabine

[HanzP]

@SabMei1 Vielen Dank Sabine! Es freut mich riesig, dass Annah doch noch dazu gesungen hat. Ich hatte ihr extra ein etwas längeres Backing eingespielt, damit auch alle Verse Platz haben.

Liebe Grüße nach Holzminden

Hansel

[CNlyrical]

Dein Gitarrenspiel ist Balsam für meine Seele,

Hallo Hansel, sehr schöne Version hast Du da gespielt. Daumen nach oben;-))

Bis dann, liebe Grüße, Frank

[RubyDubidoux]

Wow....you are so talented! :)

[philweinstock]

Hanz - absolutely beautiful and "deep" - you've got a new fan in me. Looks like you've got some nice instruments - If you have time - give me your input if any - I'm thinking of buying a Recording King OOO style with sitka top and rosewood back & sides - have you played any Recording King acoustics - what do you think of them?

I can afford 600 to 800 dollars at most. Thanks again. Phil W.

[HanzP]

@philweinstock Hi Phil, I'm pleased that I have a fan - fantastic! Well, I never played a Recording King (didn't even hear about it) so I can't give any advice about them. You'll have to try them out. Thanks for your comment!

Greetings from Germany

Lieber Hansel,

bin ein krankhaft infizierter Gitarrist seit über 3o Jahren. Mein Bruder und ich besitzen ein kleines aber feines Studio. Komme aus Obernkirchen, nicht weit von Lemgo entfernt.

Toll gespielt, mit sehr viel Gefühl.... Schau einmal, wenn Du magst, unter...Wunderbare Schöpfung...bei YouTube nach. Habe ich mit meinem Bruder im Studio eingespielt, für unsere Kirchengemeinde...vielleicht gefällt es..

Herzliche Grüße aus Obernkirchen
