Default Fields of Gold (Sting) - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

Hi everyone,

Here's my fingerstyle guitar cover of Fields of Gold by Sting, which I arranged in Open D Major tuning. I hope you enjoy listening. :-)

All the best & have a nice weekend!
Basil

Wonderful! I'm also curious about the guitar you used for that?

Truly beautiful take on this song!
Your guitar tone is fantastic.
I always enjoy your fingerstyle guitar playing.
Your fingers are long and you make it so easy to place those hard to execute fingering on the open D tuning.
Lovely!!!
Rene

Thanks a lot! :-) Probably works great in a set, I think I'll add it as well! (I was a bit hesitant due to the altered tuning).

Best & have a great day!
Basil

Hi Steve,

Thank you! It's a Maton W.A. May. Since I got it, every other guitar I play feels like a diminished substitute and I long to get back to my Maton ;-)

Best & have a great day,
Basil

Excellent arrangement Basil. A cover of this song was played at my grandfather’s funeral. I think you did this a lot of justice, he would have liked it.
