Beautiful - the best I've heard so far of this on the guitar

[LuthierPauloMarcos]

Fantástico!!!

This beautiful music should be the National Anthem for Scotland. I don`t like the present one .It`s too doleful . This music has all the romance of Scotland.

[amezcuaist]

Almost a cross between South American mountains and Scottish hills. Real tears too.

@rearvumirror I listened to the original version and David Russell's version and have to say Russell's arrangement sounds so much better for that one note change. Pirai Vaca's version is beautiful. Franck Philippo does a couple of different versions on different guitars that both sound amazing.

Only Neil Gow can play the original as it was intended. Every one else just interprets it.

If you can't say something nice then fuck off.
