  • This is the first piece of guitar music that I heard that got me into listening to 'American fingerstyle Guitar' , then it was , Hedges, Kottke, now Mckee, Ross, Dufour, ect. But this was the piece that started it all. It still has a profound effect on my mind and heart.

  • @moh2o Thanx!!! Ackerman & Hedges are THE REASON I play acoustic guitar. Hope you like MY version on Will's tune, "IMPENDING DEATH..." I play with Michael Manring. Check it out!

    THANX!

  • How could 2 people dislike this?

  • @zmanofwar3 I KNOW, RIGHT?!

  • it's a classic...

  • I can just imagine the Western movie with William Ackerman setting it's song along with Ry Cooder as in Geronimo.

  • 6 persons use his guitars to support his tables =´(

    but 116005 persons continue listening REAL music =D

  • If you like this music then type into youtube 'David Connell Waterfall's Hidden Beauty'. His music is beautiful and very similar.

  • @jiggolojoe

    Your kind patient answer is exceeded only by

    My own stupidity. Thanks very much!

    Duh! What was I thinking!?! Or not, I guess! Lol much obliged. :-)

  • @Scottie1152 Eb Ab Db Gb B E capo 5th :)

  • So obviously I'm doing something wrong here, Lol.

    A little help perhaps...? :-)

  • Beautiful beautiful song, have loved it for years! Finally decided I would try to learn it.

    Went to Ackerman's website and got the tuning he uses from there:

    G-C-F-Bb-D#-G#. Don't even bother trying it. You will guaranteed break your high E string going to G or G# every time. I just trashed three new sets of strings attempting it. I don't know how Will does it unless he uses strings other than what he claims to use. He says he uses D'addario light Phosphor-Bronze, which is exactly what I'm usi

  • I shared this song with my daughter. She was sad at the time, so I shared this video to say I love her. She thought it was beautiful & others heard it from FaceBook post and commented positive. You are SO talented/Blessed. To think anyone would dislike such beautiful music. They just don't understand what guitar music is, how beautiful, peaceful & how it fills the heart with melody. Amazing and thank you for sharing. Debby
