Level: 2/3
Tuning: CGCGCD

This is an old traditional Scots fiddle tune in the unusual key of C minor. When I hear the key of C- major or minor- I often look at Csus2 tuning- CGCGCD and it suits this tune nicely. In places I've looked for chord voicings that have a little bit of dissonance to make the arrangement a little more interesting. The basic fiddle tune is very stark however on guitar we have access to chordal ideas that can really set up the melody.

The form of the tune is AABB and another feature I've introduced is ending all but the last part on the 4 chord. This creates a suspension and an anticipation of the root chord which starts each part.
