Back for more. This second piece makes me cry every time. Beyond beautiful. Just stunning.

@Dracapalley I totally agree with you

[Dracapalley]

Oh my, what is this piece called? From 1:40 onwards; chills down my back! This is incredible. Love Tony McManus.

The first tune after the "Lament of the Viscount of Dundee" is Dr.Macphails Reel, but it's a long set with other tunes, sorry but I do not remember all the names, but all are in Tony cds

[markskywalker71]

The piece is on the "Ceol More" cd

Thank you for this! Tony is a true master! I got so fond of his music, a couple of years ago, that I ended up buying a guitar from luthier Christopher Melville who has built two guitars for Tony. A big investment, great instrument and worth every penny!

Tony did a really great concert here in Italy, he played this set at the end.

I tried the Tony's Melville guitar and it's a really great guitar, you did the right thing!

Speechless!!

the tune starting around 4:10 is Andy Renwick's Ferret by Gordon Duncan.

The sustained drones Tony gets on the open strings while simultaneously crafting those intricate interweaving melody lines is quite impressive as well. I've always found that to be a hard technique on the guitar, and here Tony sounds like his open strings are sustaining forever without any help from his thumb.

Its insane, i tear up and get tingles throughout my body, does anyone else get that when they listen to pretty music? I might be crazy for this shit. but it changes the way i feel.

@axeldam28 I also love my Melville! Good buy.

@ScottWelchGuitar DAAEAE im afraid my man, is a lovely tuning!

[ScottWelchGuitar]

I wonder if his guitar is tuned to dadgad?

[ScottWelchGuitar]

I can feel the love, adventure and pain-sooooooo nice my man!

[guitarfollower]

Truly amazing! I think the last two tunes are The Devil in the Kitchen, which I believe is a Strathspey, and Andy Renwick's Ferret by the late great Gordon Duncan.

effortless. only a true player can achieve that tone and accuracy... let alone for 6 mins straight!
