I'm away from my computer for a couple weeks but would be happy to help you learn this tune when I'm back. If you don't mind, email me through my website and I'll reply once I've had a chance to notate the tune. Thanks for listening and for your support! www.colinbotts.com
Beautiful playing again Colin. Now I’m getting used to my mandola I’ll have to start adding some bass and harmony lines like you do rather than just the melody line.
Thanks Andrew! Sounds like you're on the right track. It can be a challenge, but it's always rewarding adding those additional elements to your solo playing, and I believe the mandola, with its slightly lower range and comfortable scale length, is particularly suited to the task.
I can visualize the dark Island (Skye) when hear this tune , well done excellent playing.🤩👍
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome arrangement! Brings out the mystical nature of this piece, to my ear anyway. Gets me right in the feels. Well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It's a beautiful tune to be sure.
Wonderful arrangement and touch, subscribed! Mandola may be the next instrument I try!
If you have the opportunity, I'd strongly encourage you to give it a try; I've found the mandola to be an inspiring instrument. Cheers!
Colin, amazing version. At risk of sounding like a broken record, if you draw up the tabs I'd happily download them! Thank you.

Yes, I’m trying to do the same. It’s part of the journey to playing solo tunes.
What brand and gauge of strings are you using here?
I use D'Addario mediums.
