Hello Rob, Rob here. I've been using your 40 Scottish Tunes, and had to review it on Amazon - a thing I never do - because it is such a beautiful collection. Thank you for your work. Warm regards, Rob
It sounds well for this music. With a bit of imagination, one could hear the wind blowing on the solitude of the hills on a November evening. Bad luck if you can't.
Very nice sound, and tune, and playing, and mood, and tone...:) is it nylon strings or gut ones? Sounds very similar to luth (i mean the timber quality of the sound). Thanks Sir
I can't remember, unfortunately, but I think old Aquila nylgut, the white ones, before they changed them. I think the old ones were better. These days I prefer gut.
Beautiful !! Could you please share with me the tunning of the guitar? The Sixth sound like a D or even more close to a C# . Thank you very much !! And if you´d be so kind id like to know the name of the last tune
You'll find most of them in a book I did in DADGAD tuning, but with a treble clef as well you could more or less read in standard notation: www.amazon.co.uk/Mackillop-Scottish-Guitar-Tunes-Fingerstyle/dp/1574242652/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Rob+Mackillop+Scottish+guitar&qid=1562515829&s=books&sr=1-1

Cheers, Rob (great name, btw). Glad you like it, and many thanks for the review. Such things do influence sales. Much appreciated.
Beautiful music and well played. John
I think the guitar sounds great. Nice tight-string sound that resonates the lute quality of the tunes
Very nice Rob
5 stars and it's on my playlist.

Sounds really beautiful! Can you please tell me what microphone you use to record your videos?
I can't exactly remember, Lena. It was by a company called Edirol. I've since sold it for something else. It was very good, though. Best wishes, Rob.

Hi Sebastian. It's on Open D tuning, D A D F# A D, but might be down a semitone from that. Cheers.
Blew Ribben is the last tune - it says so in the video...
i didn’t see the title at first, but my first thought was: “is this DADGAD?” :)
hi there do you have transcriptions for these?
You'll find most of them in a book I did in DADGAD tuning, but with a treble clef as well you could more or less read in standard notation: www.amazon.co.uk/Mackillop-Scottish-Guitar-Tunes-Fingerstyle/dp/1574242652/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Rob+Mackillop+Scottish+guitar&qid=1562515829&s=books&sr=1-1
Dustmonkey doesn't get it,but many others don't either. Period instruments are usually an acquired taste.
hi Rob how old are those tunes?
- 17th century, Hector. Before my time ;-)
ha ha ha ha! mine as well :D
hi Mr Rob. Maybe you lived on, (some life before) and now we receive those pieces so so nice, you carried from this "grandiose" musical century!
@dustmonkey100
Who cares? It's not meant to be. Just try to enjoy it for what it is. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.
Well, I'm addicted...and subscripted
