thank you ELCBK and Mark !

@elcbk thanks!  

i forced the Am chord in the A part.  this tune is in DMaj although with a C natural in a measure of the B part it does have a mixolydian sound there.  I think the Cmaj chord works better specific to that measure instead of amaj/min.  

Thanks @Mark !  yeah i think its better upbeat.  tried slower for the name.. except for b part i dont really hear a lament..or at least what my mind has for one

@elcbk To be honest, I just picked up guitar and started playing diatonic chords to D with the exception of  I knew the C natural was in this measure

so I went with a C chord thinking it would place some emphasis there with the notes of chord being C,E,G. the B in that measure played with C chord would make a Cmaj7 i think.  Am would work since its A,C,E. the G added would be Am7?  Em E,G,B would work..  I just picked C.  Use musescore and setup a backing and play to it.  youll hear your favorite!  Personally Im not sure about F#dim there ..something to try and just hear how it sounds.

I dont like a bunch of chord changes like in some of the examples.  

Im thinking since your in D and have a C natural which is flattened 7th of D..does that make that section Dmix instead of Amix which would have flattened G?  typing and thinking...may be forgetting something.  I know G is flat related to key of A but going with the notated D key signature i think the important note there is C not the following G's

I for sure dont think the whole tune is in mix.. that one small section has that flavor or sound...but overall i feel this is a major tune for the sake of discussion.  And its interesting!

@elcbk post 107 has a link to what we will have on stands.   It will be 1st tune played.   I deviated some from it but felt pretty good i have the base tune in my heqd by practicing it enough to post a version.  Someone brought that version in and its what everyone has so..thatll be my version.  it may not be exact to original pipe tune youll find elsewhere.

I still think even the B part is major...its just that small run of notes that changes it for a bit 🤓 for me.

  glad we got some mileage out that one!!  gonna go on to the next...Return from Fingal..another march.  Havent got it down ..it shouldnt be too bad but a couple of places I can see me pushing timing.  

the evil breath was an accident...but hey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@elcbk thanks... I started out wanting to be light but was thinking i swung completely opposite and just went with that..lol. theres something in there that may sound like electric guitar behind all the noise that is a crunch crunch i made with the bow and added a pedal too... double stopped the chords in between guitar.

Im gonna redo about 20bpm faster cuz its ah draggin'  .ill try and not be so heavy with it next time...thinking since  I recorded the guitar first I got locked in to that.  but if you think its light thats cool.. maybe not a total disaster then 😃    my focus was mainly getting tune down and timing which i think i did so a win on that.  

"How many more tunes do you have to work on before the Concert?"

nothing new aside from fingal.. ive posted about all as ive worked on them..  just practice from here on.

I think this is better.  Did the whole thing over and bumped up tempo to 130 and added a bit more to backing, took out the drums,  pulled off the effect on the bow crunches and juat spent more time trying to mix it.   The only cringe thing Im not liking RIGHT NOW lol..is at 3 seconds in i round off a note.   shouldve been more crisp.  think i slurred it.
