I've been trying to learn some of the lead stuff on guitar, but I've never been much of a lead player. But it's fun.

There is a product made by Tascam called guitar trainer. They are not very expensive but what they do is allow you to slow down recordings to SUPER slow so you can pick out each note with relivitave ease. We sell them at the music store I work at. Very cool practice tool. You may find it helpful!

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.

You all are making this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more difficult. First, figugre out the melody. Try to make it as fingering efficent as possible. then, chart it. Tab or music. Then, with a metronome or drum machine, practice it slowly until it's under your fingers. Then and only then, start speeding it up.
