The Water is Wide - Harp Guitar Orchestra 

These are not musical instruments, they are works of art. Beautiful to look at and listen to.

The water, being wide, connects us

Love your music and your Harp-Guitars. Thank you, you brought tears. I am 83 years of age and a Church organist for the past 51 years.

Sweet, soft & mellow is where I am at this point in my life. I loved this video. Thank you ! I began in music in 1958, piano & then guitar in 1962. I was at Kent State on May 4th, 1970 & being out in the middle of that massacre changed me. I stayed with guitar for a long time, before going back to keyboards too. A near fatal car accident left me with a lot of broken pieces of me, my back, neck, rt. shoulder & clavicle & my sternum. I nearly lost my left thumb. By 2001, I had to stop playing guitar, my hands got too bad. I did keep playing my keyboard & nearly 2 yrs. ago, I decided to give guitar another shot. I can play again, but in a very limited way. I keep it simple & work with about a dozen basic chords. It's my right hand that has surprised me. I been able to do things with it that I couldn't all those years ago. I guess that was a gift from the cosmos. Anyway, it's made me happy again. God bless.

This is really something I am 79 years old and never heard this the sound is fantastic

Just wanted to let you know this is now part of my LifeSongs Playlist. How Beautiful this is. Especially when you realize this vid dropped during the Covid Pandemic. THANK YOU ALL!!!

My wife just gave her permission for me to order one lol! I love my wife!! What a neat instrument. Can't wait to try it on for size. This piece they are doing sold me. Just gorgeous.

This vid should be getting a billion views

Harp - Guitar? Never heard of it. Amazing, it creates such a sweet sound. Normally I play classical music while doing something else but this video stopped me. Thanks from Great Britain. (Wed 07 July 2021 11hh34)

There's a certain beauty I find about all of this. When I was in elementary school, I remember singing The Water is Wide in my school choir. Now, having just finished my Freshman year of college, I'm getting a harp guitar that a relative found at a garage sale. It's all coming full circle. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you!!

One of my favorite songs Muriel...

The peace and kindness I felt from the song I also saw in the musician. Music can unite humanity 🙌🙏✨

Wow.!!...I was taken by that performance...thanks for putting that together.

This music, as with King David, calms and "centers" me at the core of my being. It touches and heals my soul in a very deep and ancient way. I would expect to hear music like this in Heaven. Bless you for blessing me. I really, really needed this.

Thanks for putting that together! Loved the upper treble strings you incorporated!

I'm 62 yrs old. Until just this evening I'd never heard of a harp guitar and I'm overwhelmed. By the tones, and even more so by the talent it must take to produce those wonderful tones. This is the 5th and final video I'll watch this evening because I can't imagine observing a better one than the collaboration shown here. It just goes to show that you never stop learning new things if you stay curious. Thank you to all of the artists involved in the making of this video and especially Muriel Anderson, you have a new fan

I've never heard of this instrument before...very interesting. I am surprised at just how different versions of this instrument look. So exciting to see and hear so many skilled musicians from around the world. Wonderful video...mush appreciated!!

I've never seen this instrument before! It's visually exciting and the sound is stunning. What a treat to hear the artists scattered about in the world playing along. Charming beyond words.

Stephen Bennett is hosting a virtual harp guitar gathering in late Oct. I have a Truefire course on arranging The Water is Wide, linked at murielanderson.com/now/

One of my all time folk favorites. Truly beautiful rendition here by all these artists. Just met Muriel Anderson last night at an intimate concert and she is not to be missed. I knew she was a great guitarist but her singing and her songwriting are really excellent. Don't miss her if she's in your town.

All very talented but that beautiful woman in red at the beach knocked it out of the park. Plainly she’s at a different level 🪕

What a wonderful version folks!! Love your work Muriel! Greetz, Jimmy

Music is prayer

Heavenly!

In what dimension did I live inThat I never heard of Harp guitar?

I could feel the spiritual energy and love for humanity. This was special on so many levels. Well done...well done !!

Many thanks to all.

Wow,I accidentally opened it and I was glad....needed as relief from bad news that we see/hear every day.

Now I want one!

What an awesome amazing sound.I have played guitar most of my life. It always brings me such peace to sit down alone and play it a while. But the guitar will never put out as a beautiful sound as this guitar/harp does.I would love to play one. Awesome amazing video thanks for sharing. God bless each one of you all around the world. Stay well and safe my friend's.

Stunning rendition. Thank you

Really nice! and many will already know that 'When I survey the wondrous cross' goes well to this tune too.

Fabulous. Thank you.👍👍🥰🥰

This is beautiful and the world needs more and more of this washby

Very beautiful .My day ended on a beautiful note ,thank you.

Wow that was beautiful!!!!

This was brilliant...

So creative and beautiful! Thank you all. God bless.

I wished to have that kind of instrument,a guitar harp

That was beautiful!! I'm amazed how different each harp guitar is designed. Just utterly beautiful tones!!

Man it's hard to decide which I like the best between a 12 String guitar and guitar and a harp guitar. They both sound really good. But I really love the rich sound you get from a harp guitar. It sounds even better than just a standard guitar.

Very pleasant & peaceful! Beautiful sound. I really like the Harp Guitar!

Can’t wait to hear this!!!!

A most moving and beautiful melody, especially played with harp guitars. Impressive, lovely. Thank you.

incredible!

Beautifully orchestrated music featuring many styles of harp guitars. To play the two (or three) "necks" of a harp guitar and also sing is such a difficult task. Only one woman is able to do that on this video.

This is just beautiful to watch!

I'm having a wonderful morning here in Tokyo with the beautiful sounds and performances. Thank you for sharing this.

Very beautiful music on this lovely instrument!

God bless all wonderful musicians like these.

Oh these talented people playing strange looking guitars, beautiful

great to see Martin Pleass up there. Nice job everyone.

I sang this song in my chorus class last year

FANTASTIC THANK YOU

Beautiful Music. I LOVE IT.

Pure celestial!

I see a lot of coastal harp guitarists here!

Brings tears to my eyes....

Excelente!! Master!...Master!!

What a beautiful music you share with us, thank you so much!💞

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

Such a relaxing sound. I didn't know Albert Einstein played a harp guitar!

Bravo everybody!!!

I thought the Christmas caroling video was my fav than.i see this . . .I too play this song on guitar and have shared it with family and friends. Thank you for the post!!!

Beautiful Music!!! I have never even heard of a Harp Guitar, or knew that thousands played it! welcome to my recommended list

This is the sweetest musical event I've ever had the joy to witness in all my born days. Thank you, all ! And as ever , love to Darlin' Nancy of the voice.........You picked one of the best-to-sing- and- play tunes in the history of the world, too.

Not sure just how to describe it . If I said it was interesting or beautiful or it just brought me a moments peace as I listened I still dont think I could say just how incredible this music & the musicians are . Thank you so very much for being all those things for me

love it..

Beautiful sound""Thanks!!!

MAGNIFIQUE !

That's so cool and awesome! So much talent that surrounds us all. May we have permission to use this in a weekly on-line worship experience? This is another great way to reach beyond our own walls to share God's love. Pete

I live in Southwest Florida and it is so great to see Andy Wahlberg play on this beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

Excelente voz!!!!!!!!!

Sublime. Absolutely sublime....

Such a beautiful song

Beautiful instruments, music and souls to match. More voice ?
