Filmed in his Vermont studio, Will Ackerman plays “I Had to Go There,” a new composition based on an uncommon open tuning you’ve likely never tried (F C Eb Ab C Eb). The notation for this beautiful arpeggio study, along with an in-depth profile on Ackerman, is available in in AG’s September/October 2022 issue, which you can grab at https://bit.ly/3c90l25. Be sure to see page 18 for details on a tuning challenge that Ackerman has issued.
