over the hill - acoustic guitar instrumental

Just back from a great week's holiday on Arran, island on West coast of Scotland. While there I climbed Goatfell (887m), so I made up this semi-improvised thing to celebrate that I may be over the hill but i can still GET over the hill.

The midges were brutal, by the way. I am totally embroidered in bites!!!

[0ldfinger]

You're too kind thank you! I was just messing around in C tuning - everything you hit sounds nice!

Oh you should come one day! If you ever do come, go up the West coast to the highlands.

Yeah, I learned on a K-Mart special with a quarter inch action! Really helped to build up my hand muscles, though.  ;-)

It's just a Freshman FA2000CE. Cost about £330. I have had it for about 3 years now...for tone as you say it's great (loads of bass!), but I need to get the action looked at. It's dire! Thanks for your comment.

Really sweet sounding tune, there. Your guitar has a rich tone; what model is it?

Yep the Scots love a good fight! We fought off the Vikings (or tried to), the Romans (easy!), the English (sort of), and we fight ourselves (still going on). It feels like somewhere deep within the Scots character that there is someone wanting to take what little they have away from them. Ye canny have it! Thanks for your comment.
