Default Suilven (Contemporary Scottish Fiddle tune)

I recently bought a fantastic book called "Folk Tunes From The Women" from which this amazing slow air comes, my first attempt at a tune from this collection (but it wont be the last!).

In the words of the composer : "It was written when I was longing to climb the iconic mountain near Lochinver. When I eventually reached the summit, it was a magical experience, with pools of water scattered below and clouds passing beneath me".

This is my arrangement in CGDGAD:

Really enjoyed the tune, arrangement and playing. I play in an ensemble led by Marina Dodgson so if you record her tune from the book, I'll let her know .

Majestic music.
Your guitar playing is so full of emotion, and I am enjoying the music immensely!
So relaxing and perfect with my coffee!
Thanks for this beauty!

Thanks again, as always Rene- I'm really enjoying playing through some very different tunes and working out what will work on the guitar.

Love this! I really like the way you incorporate the harmonics into the tune. Very nice work indeed.

Thank you so much- I do like using harmonics in my arrangements and compositions as I feel it gives an orchestral sort of sound.

Thanks again everyone who has listened

Robbie
