Overview
From laments for women and whiskey to songs of the Jacobite rebellion, The Bonnie Road to Scotland will take you on a musical journey through the rugged and beautiful Scottish lands. With guitar in hand, you'll hear the echoes of the mighty bagpipes, the haunting melodies of Niel Gow and famed Scottish bard Robert Burns, to the dance tunes of highland jigs and reels. So come along as we celebrate the wonderful music of Scotland on fingerstyle guitar. There's something for everyone to enjoy All tunes in this book are in standard tuning (EADGBE) or in drop D (DADGBE) with the low E string tuned down one whole step to a D. Similar to my Gigging Guitarist collections, I use as many open and ringing strings to simulate the melodic nature of the harp as well as the powerful drones so important to Scottish music. Tunes include: Skye Boat Song, Doon the Brae, Farewell to Whiskey, Archibald MacDonald of Keppoch, Merrily Kissed the Quaker, Jock o' Hazeldean, Rantin Rovin Robin, MacPherson's Lament (MacPherson's Rant), Big John McNeil, Roslin Castle, Sir John Fenwick's The Flower Among Them All, The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, The Parting Glass, Old Grey Cat, Ye Banks and Braes, Flowers of Edinburgh, Lament for the Death of His Brother, Lament for the Death of His Second Wife, Scotland the Brave, Auld Lang Syne, The Bonnie Road to Scotland
