In this second lesson for Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar, Tony McManus explores all the dance rhythms of Scottish music, with its pipe-marches, strathspeys, single and double jigs, slip jiogs and reels.

McManus has been notably succesfull in translating the complex music of the highland bagpipes to the guitar and, to maintain the integrity of the music, he introduces three unusual tunings: CGCGCD, CGDGCD and DAAEAE.

The idea and playing of sets is presented, as well as further exploration of ornamentation techniques. Complete with a 32 page tab/music booklet of all the pieces included in the DVD.
