Lothlorien - by Enya (Fingerstyle Guitar)

After hearing Larry Beeckman play his arrangment of this, I thought it would be a fairly easy tune for us beginners to enjoy. I was going to simply copy his arrangement, but since he's trying to make a living publishing books, I decided to do it differently. He has a book of varous Enya tunes that you can purchase. There's a link to his web site below.

Hi Mike, I own a Takamine 1980 Arte 10 concert model with Hirade signature. You wouldn't know how much I should insure it for by chance?

[oldwhtman]

@incontrast76 My records show that my model 5 cost about $1100.00 back in 1982. I probably paid list price, since I purchased it with a trade in. I've never insured a guitar before (they never leave the house), but you can probably insure it for as much as you want, if you can afford the insurance premiums. I don't think guitars appreciate in value unless they're hand made by someone famous.

in the it's "capo 1st fret" but i don't see u use capo ?

[oldwhtman]

@snkhuong Sorry about that. I chose not to use the capo. Using a capo on the first fret puts the tune in the same key as the Enya recording . . . in case you wanted to play along with her.

Dear Mike. You made this Enya tune justice! I wouldn't say I am a 'fan' of hers but she's nice... I prefer you, I am sorry to admit. :-)

Love,

Per-Olov

@AndanteLargo I wasn't as excited about this tune as the 'Sweet Sixteen' effort, but it had a pleasant sound. And it was simple. Something the student guitarist could enjoy.

This is the perfect video for me. First I´m an Enjy fan, second I´m a Lord of the Rings fan and third I´m an Oldwhtman fan.

Thanks for playing, posting and TAB link - Sabine

I just had a beautiful experience.

Been playing this piece for the first time, and could play it directly without any problems.

Your arrangement is so easy, and at the same time, it sounds so wonderful.

Thank you.
