Hello Rob, Rob here. I've been using your 40 Scottish Tunes, and had to review it on Amazon - a thing I never do - because it is such a beautiful collection. Thank you for your work. Warm regards, Rob

[@RobMacKillop1]

Cheers, Rob (great name, btw). Glad you like it, and many thanks for the review. Such things do influence sales. Much appreciated.

Beautiful music and well played. John

[@ChristianWandzala]

I think the guitar sounds great. Nice tight-string sound that resonates the lute quality of the tunes

[@kidneykutter]

Very nice Rob

[@erscott13]

5 stars and it's on my playlist.

[@lledew]

It sounds well for this music. With a bit of imagination, one could hear the wind blowing on the solitude of the hills on a November evening. Bad luck if you can't.

[@acwatercolors]

Very nice sound, and tune, and playing, and mood, and tone...:) is it nylon strings or gut ones? Sounds very similar to luth (i mean the timber quality of the sound). Thanks Sir

[@RobMacKillop1]

I can't remember, unfortunately, but I think old Aquila nylgut, the white ones, before they changed them. I think the old ones were better. These days I prefer gut.

[@TheGalant123]

Sounds really beautiful! Can you please tell me what microphone you use to record your videos?

[@RobMacKillop1]

I can't exactly remember, Lena. It was by a company called Edirol. I've since sold it for something else. It was very good, though. Best wishes, Rob.

Beautiful !! Could you please share with me the tunning of the guitar? The Sixth sound like a D or even more close to a C# . Thank you very much !! And if you´d be so kind id like to know the name of the last tune

[@RobMacKillop1]

Hi Sebastian. It's on Open D tuning, D A D F# A D, but might be down a semitone from that. Cheers.

[@RobMacKillop1]

Blew Ribben is the last tune - it says so in the video...

[@CrawlingAxle]

i didn’t see the title at first, but my first thought was: “is this DADGAD?” :)

[@nostalgiacreep]

hi there do you have transcriptions for these?

[@RobMacKillop1]

You'll find most of them in a book I did in DADGAD tuning, but with a treble clef as well you could more or less read in standard notation: www.amazon.co.uk/Mackillop-Scottish-Guitar-Tunes-Fingerstyle/dp/1574242652/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Rob+Mackillop+Scottish+guitar&qid=1562515829&s=books&sr=1-1

Dustmonkey doesn't get it,but many others don't either. Period instruments are usually an acquired taste.

[@RobMacKillop1]

@dustmonkey100 Who cares? It's not meant to be. Just try to enjoy it for what it is. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

[@HAL011964]

hi Rob how old are those tunes?

[@RobMacKillop1]

- 17th century, Hector. Before my time ;-)

[@HAL011964]

ha ha ha ha! mine as well :D

[@zykamania2952]

hi Mr Rob. Maybe you lived on, (some life before) and now we receive those pieces so so nice, you carried from this "grandiose" musical century!

[@rogerstill71]

Well, I'm addicted...and subscripted
