Glencoe is a mountain range in Scotland and it was this that inspired me to write this.
I dont often like to strum play the guitar as i much prefer the sound of finger-picking. But i had to strum on this in order to make the song sound how i wanted to.
I also added a simple bass line using the same acoustic guitar and also added the tin whistle just for fun and effect
Great stuff, and certainly invoked thoughts of Scotland and that lovely place that is Glencoe.
Anyone that wants to know about it, if you go and watch Highlander, a lot of the scenes were filmed around Glencoe.
Brilliant place, and this tune sums up the beauty of it to me (that is, the times when the air force aren't practising their low flying missions through the Glen !)
Absolutely beautiful, I've never seen Glencoe, (beyond Highlander), but there is a great place in the Pacific Northwest called the Columbia Gorge, and this music just fits it.

very cool tune pure and well structured too. I like your double tracked harmony leads especially. There is nothing in this tune that does not need to be here. it is just essential melody and works all the better for it.

Sometimes its hard to know where and when to stop before the tune gets to plastery in melody. Over the last while i have found that sometimes less is more.
