Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Acoustic Guitar Cover (Fingerstyle Guitar)

For years, I've been taken with Gordon Lightfoot's epic, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," but I've always found the haunting story behind the song elusive for a solo instrumental. As instrumentals go, this one was a challenge for me. The song sails on its lyrics, and Lightfoot's masterful storytelling. What I've tried to capture is a bit of the essence that lies just beyond words, embedded in Lightfoot's poignant melody. I've tried to illustrate a sense of the movement and drama of the tale through a suspenseful variation on the theme. #GordonLightfoot #EdmundFitzgerald #fingerstyle This was filmed on a chilly February day at the Memorial Waterfront Park on Charleston Harbor, and one unplanned event happens right around the 1:24 min mark in the film. Entering the frame toward my left shoulder, just above the headstock of my guitar, is an imposing ocean-going freighter, and at about 1:59, the ship's superstructure becomes visible. At the point where I try to evoke a sense of foreboding foreshadowing the ship's peril, it slips behind my back, and does not reappear. I like to think that unbeknownst to me as I played, the Edmund Fitzgerald returned but for a brief moment heading out to sea.
