Ed Gerhard is an American Grammy Award winning guitarist. He is known for his acoustic fingerstyle guitar playing[1][2] and lap steel guitar music.[3]

Career

Gerhard was born in Abington, Pennsylvania. He started playing guitar when he was fourteen, inspired by seeing classical guitarist Andrés Segovia on television. He was also influenced by the open tunings of folk guitarist John Fahey.[4]

In 1987 Gerhard released his debut solo album, Night Birds.[4] He established Virtue Records in 1991 as a record label for his work and for instrumental acoustic guitar music.

In December 1982, he began performing an annual concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.[5]

He received a Grammy Award for his participation in the album Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar (Solid Air, 2004), for which he arranged and performed "Moon River".[6]

In 2012, after six years of work, Gerhard release the album There and Gone.[7]

Signature guitar

In 1997, Breedlove Guitars released the Ed Gerhard Signature Model Guitar. The guitar became one of Breedlove's best-selling guitars and won the Player's Choice Award by Acoustic Guitar magazine in 2000.[8][4]

In collaboration with Gerhard, Breedlove also released a Weissenborn guitar in which traditional design is combined with modern features and contemporary wood combinations.

Teorema di Abel-Ruffini

Il teorema di Abel-Ruffini afferma che non esiste una relazione risolutiva generale esprimibile tramite radicali per le equazioni polinomiali di grado 5 o superiore. Il teorema fu provato per la prima volta da Paolo Ruffini nel 1799, ma la sua dimostrazione fu generalmente ignorata. Sebbene contenesse una piccola lacuna, fu piuttosto innovativa nell'uso dei gruppi di permutazione. Il teorema è anche attribuito a Niels Henrik Abel, che pubblicò una dimostrazione nel 1824. Indice 1 L'interpre...
