The Seagull from Duets by Teja Gerken & Doug Young
The Seagull (D. Young, ASCAP)
This tune also first appeared on Doug’s Closing Time, where the arrangement includes bass and percussion, with Teja contributing a second guitar played in standard tuning. For this version, we re-arranged the piece, with Doug playing a 12-string, and Teja playing slide on a National resonator.
Teja: National Reso-Phonic Style 1 Tricone, CGCGCD, capo 2. Doug: Custom Taylor 656ce 12-string, DADGAD
San Francisco Bay Area fingerstyle guitarists Teja Gerken and Doug
Young have performed together for more than a decade. Drawing from
their individual catalogs of original compositions, Celtic tunes,
arrangements of jazz standards, and the occasional classical piece,
Teja and Doug present a varied repertoire,
using a wide range of guitars.
