Many great Scottish traditional tunes can be traced back to 17th century lute music. In this collection, multi-instrumentalist Rob MacKillop has transcribed and arranged 25 popular tunes derived from various lute manuscripts. While idiomatic to the guitar, some of these arrangements include fast runs and chord changes, so are best suited to the intermediate-level flatpicking guitarist. This guitar collection consists of the same melodies in the same keys found in its mandolin counterpart, Tunes From 17th Century Scotland Arranged for Mandolin (Mel Bay Publications). In both books, suggested chords are provided wherever appropriate. Consequently, the settings work fine as either mandolin/violin and guitar duets, or as solos for either instrument. Until now, most of these appealing dance tunes and airs have not been available as guitar arrangements. Here, except for two tunes in drop-D tuning, all are in standard guitar tuning. With MacKillopas spirited online recording, generous performance notes and standard notation and tablature for each selection, get ready to explore a wonderful new take on an old repertoire! Includes access to online audio.

Another of David's arrangements. This is "I Know Him So Well" from the show "Chess". Many people believe this is a Lloyd Weber song, but actually it was written by Benny and Bjorn from Abba! A relatively easy piece to play and fingering is provided where uncertain. There is also a version of this arrangement on this website without tablature.

This well known piece from the movie "Meet Me In St Louis" is beautiful when played on a solo guitar. Its not a demanding arrangement and can be learned quite easily.
The entire CD (I'll Be Home For Christmas) eventually will be available on my website: and#65279;www.burchfieldbrothers.com
Look for many more of these arrangements to come in the near future.
