Synopsis

Scottish guitarist and musician Rob MacKillop's The Scottish Guitar brings together 40 Scottish tunes arranged for fingerstyle guitar. Created for guitarists interested in Scottish and Celtic repertoire, it explores Gaelic songs, traditional airs, dances and historical melodies while presenting a distinctly Scottish approach to phrasing and ornamentation.

The book contains guitar tablature and fingerstyle arrangements, accompanied by a CD that lets players hear the phrasing and musical nuances behind the written music. The arrangements use DADGAD, Open D and Open G tunings, offering guitarists an opportunity to explore the resonance and tonal colour of open tunings while developing a deeper connection with traditional Scottish repertoire.

MacKillop's arrangements preserve the individual character of the source material through considered ornaments and phrasing. The collection makes rewarding material for focused learning, repertoire building and performance, particularly for fingerstyle players wishing to broaden their musical vocabulary through melodies drawn from Scottish song and manuscript traditions.
