what a perfect arrangement by Tony it fits the poem like a glove. i bought his celtic fingerstyle guitar book with cd a few years ago and got this tune well learnt and sing the poem as well as best i can it's so open and a heart breaking a song that it brings a small tear when i am able to catch the muse i can almost see the young lady in the mist i feel so sorry her loss and the call of the birds. ops!!! almost repeating my earlier post of nine months ago word for word, totally forgotten i'd posted here must be going senile.

I learned this arrangement a few years ago and it is still one of my favorites to play. I do slow it down a little bit which makes it even prettier. I realize that there are a few things I've been doing wrong and/or have forgotten! I need to sit down with this and brush it up! Thanks Tony for a beautiful arrangement! :)

Beautiful sweet tune. Brings a tear to the eye and you can feel all the emotion.

Tony is still looking so young here. Just what he looked like when I first watched him play with Brian McNeill all those years ago. Ach well, the 90s...

Yes, a youthful look alright. I had the pleasure of a concert last night - a tad grey these days, as are we all!

A perfect bit of guitar picking as it fits the poem like a glove, voice and guitar are as of one with this melody, this tune allows the singer lots of room for an emotional rendition as i've found it so for my self. and what a brilliant little poem by Robert Burns how very clever it's construct it keeps you wondering about her love will he ever return is he a hero or a villain. i've a different ending than tony's but i follow his main melody nearly note for note , it's not a hard tune to master. B though it can be a little harder when you're singing with a tear in your eye for the fair lady's lost and stolen rose, and did she lose something else i wonder?. comes down to practise i guess, and not becoming board with the repetitive emotion of the act. (or losing the finger position or going completely blank memory wise to the tune, damn and damn.") the hardest thing i find is to improvise to make it seem simple when it's not. but that's an entertainment of a sorts for me...

Lovely Tony! Do you use medium-gauge strings 13-56? Or does that tone come from lights 12-54's?

Great sounding (and looking) guitar. What is it?

@tedpeterson1156 8 жыл бұрын

The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the frets) the strings with the fingers of the left hand. Hope this helps.

Haha...an Airplane quote for you: Randy: Excuse me sir, there's been a little problem in the cockpit… Striker: The cockpit…what is it? Randy: It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now.
