The Water is Wide: Harp Guitar Gathering V Harpguitars.net

[@keithmomin2071]

Such a heart melting music. This could remain posted over here for ever long after all these musicians are gone, enthralling newer generations with the sweetness of this tune. Kudos to all the musicians! L❤vely.

[@RedSunHawk7]

I cry watching this, because it is such a thing of beauty....all these folks...just walkin up there and making this beautiful music...and we can enjoy them anytime...thanks to you.....

[@givsum]

is there anything more moving, more gratifying than seeing a group of friends playing together, and loving it? ten out of five for this beautiful piece. I envy you!

[@Maha1943]

I have never heard of a harp guitar before so I thought this was just beautiful specially as they were playing one of my favourite songs

[@jovigo11]

! Definitivamente todos vinimos a esta vida a ser¡¡¡ FELICES!!! Y A HACER LO QUE NOS GUSTA! !Gracias por compartir esto¡

[@gtkazu]

I can't imagine there are so many Harp guitarists there and their music is wonderful and full of happiness!

[@pandadan1]

I try to watch this at least once a month. Do any of you wonderful Players Name your Beautiful Instruments

[@Cj12sings]

yes you are correct I saw John Doan on Stephen Bennett's right, and then Stephen kept scooting over to let Andy Mckee in... what a fabulous gathering and a great video.....and yes, you don't see that everyday!!!!!

[@Pattyoday]

I wasn't at the harp guitar gathering, but I am an appreciator of this beautiful instrument and the sound it delivers. How spine-tingling this video was, to hear "Water is Wide" in so many colors and variations from these many artists, all at the same time. Thank you for posting this so all the world can see it! 'Leaves you with a nice warm feeling.....:-)

[@Mandolin1944]

Has to be one of the most wonderful videos I've seen in a long time -- a harp mandolin is something I've heard about but never seen. It is utterly fascinating to see all the different approaches to the instrument construction -- just awesome. Is this a world record for most harp guitars on one stage? Love that big black Gibson in the middle!!!!!

[@gfharper]

How many harp-guitars playing at the same time? This should be a Guiness record! This is my ...... 100th time watching this! I can't get enough!

[@Fishriotx]

Words cant describe how happy this makes me.

[@scholachu]

THE best instrumental version of the song I've ever, ever heard...I can barely see what I'm typing because my eyes are full of tears now. Thank you so much for the wonderful video!

[@HarpGuitarTexas]

The family that plays harp guitar together stays together ;-) Looks like HGGV was a great success. Congratulations!!!

[@ritaggn]

[@kilowatt52]

Absolutely the best I've heard..wonderful, and powerful.

[@MrOgrrre]

Also fascinating in here was the sound of the harp mandolin. I saw two of them in the group.. The entire group harmonized so well. A true musical pleasure.

[@mteodoromartinez]

Wow, this moment at around 2:50 makes me cry tears of joy. This guesture seems to me like "Come on all folks, join our family of love and peace, feel free and come to us!" And in my mind I sit next to them with my guitarre and put some tones this infinte peace of joy and love.

[@Benignheart]

Wow its very unique look. First time to see this instrument. I played guitar but not like this... Its really cool presentation gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.

[@fugalibrana]

Absolutely beautiful. Since I've seen harp guitars, I've fallen in love with it. God bless harp guitars! :D

[@oldwest517]

The harp part of a harp guitar gives bass notes that no regular guitar could ever make. Listen again. There is also a part early on where one player plays a high register harp that is located below the soundhole -- again, a sound no regular guitar could make.

[@alaucage]

Je découvre ! et c'est génial !

[@giuseppe1271]

Wonderfull

[@mery62111]

Excelente!!!

[@Noy234]

[@priest004]

I happened to find this purley by chance, and I must say that was BEAUTIFULL!!! I am just learning the guitar, but now I'm thinking I might try to find a HARP GUITAR :) please post some more if you can.

[@attybong]

[@GMiner]

Yes, from the CD "No Net" - you can purchase it and get use rights from Stephen Bennett at his web site.

[@1banjrpkr]

BREATHTAKING!!!

[@fngrpckr]

Amazing! Very powerful. Is a DVD available? Why is'nt there ever anything this cool in my area! lol Thank's for sharing this, Darryl Chafe

[@Sign213]

The most wondeful thing i´ve seen today

[@bgbg418]

fantastic show. i always love the idea and look of a harp guitar but find myself as usual wondering whether, this would have sounded better as an ensemble of "standard" guitars...

[@MeTaLcOrE1616]

WOW!!!

[@HungarianGuitarist]

wet eyes... awesome video

[@pyromancj1]

This is a really awesome video. I wish i could buy a harp guitar. Unfortunately i can't afford a $1000+ instrument. My limits at about $800.

[@Lintriel]

yeah, its great too.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Can you imagine these guys playing the long introduction to Hotel California? - that would be incredible

[@DeathCubeK400]

Such an amazing moment at 3:00

[@dmaninthewall]

That escalated quickly

[@pandadan1]

This is my favorite ,and all Critics Please clean out Your Ears and Your Hearts

[@BradHoytMusic]

If you want to hear some great harp guitar performances on all different types of harp guitars, check out the "Further Beyond Six Strings" CD (Google it). It's a nice introduction the sound of the harp guitar.

[@Aydinl1]

The water is wide, I cannot get oer Neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I A ship there is and she sails the sea She's loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke So did my love prove false to me I reached my finger into some soft bush Thinking the fairest flower to find I pricked my finger to the bone And left the fairest flower behind Oh love be handsome and love be kind Gay as a jewel when first it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew Must I go bound while you go free Must I love a man who doesn't love me Must I be born with so little art As to love a man who'll break my heart When cockle shells turn silver bells Then will my love come back to me When roses bloom in winter's gloom Then will my love return to me

[@GMiner]

Not sure which one you mean (probably the German "harpolyre copy" (not quite an HG). Anyway, those were all display instruments - it wasn't a sale... GM

[@Faizeesha]

give me a boat that can carry two. "unforgettable" brings me here

[@cmtube73]

it looks like an ocean of beautiful wooden dolphins.

[@GuitarSlimJunior]
