Guitar for Celtic?

[berserkbishop]

I play Scotland the Brave around the C shape on the 8th fret on the D,G,B, and E string. I play it too fast but I like it that way. The chorus is challenging rhythm wise but it's built on the G shape on the 10th fret.

I usually have a strong overdrive on but you have to remember to palm mute everything to keep the notes clear. You need high gain to play the harmonics.

Try playing around the D shape on the 10th fret using the four high strings and an open A, keeping the low E muted. For rhythm, try to play to the words of See the Chameleon, (run, run away, what is that song called?).

I have been following this thread because I also play guitar and have been trying to get into Celtic music. You certainly sound like you know what your are talking about Archangel and I am appreciating your posts. Is there any chance on getting a tab or some music out of you. For some reason I am having trouble sorting this out in my head. . . .

Thanks, but I'm really not that good. I've played since I was about 17 but the reality is that I only knew three chords until I was forty something. Then a buddy who had recorded said if I really loved it, take lessons. So I did.

I have a great teacher. His opening anthem video is on another thread, bass drum, I think.

What is happening is that you're asking questions that I've already asked before you.

Big Country, my favourite: the sound comes from the slide 5th fret to 2nd fret.

Here's a nice one string melody. On the B string: 5-7-9-7-5 slide to 2, 0,0/ 5-7-9-7-5 slide to 9-12,12/ 5-7-9-7-5 slide to 2, 0,0, 0-2 slide to 5, 5,5/ 5-7-9-7-5 slide to 9, 12, 12, 9-12-14-12-9-12-9-7/ 5-7-9-7-5 slide to 2, 0,0, 0-2 slide to 5, 5,5.

The / represent lines in the song. It's called "In the Beauty of Holiness" by Richard Marks. Unless you buy the cd, the closest I found on a quick search is a guy doing a version on youtube called "As my heart and spirit soar". It's good but not too Celtic a feel. Try and get the cd. Except it's religious and the rules etc...

Well, they have tabs for Scotland the Brave on a site called "ultimate-guitar.com," but here's the catch the guy didn't show a rhythm.
