animated speaker The March of the King of Laoise
An approximation of Duck Baker's version of this stately tune from Mel Bay's Complete Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar Book (by Stefan Grossman, Duck Baker and El McMeen) available from Mel Bay Publications. I find the rhythmic playing on this one somewhat difficult, so I have cheated a bit in my playing. I also added substantial echo effects to the track which fill things out a bit and help mask the occasional playing error.

Dropped-D tuning: DADGBE, capoed at the third fret, which makes some of the awkward finger stretches in this tune less so. This is my first attempt at recording with an actual mike (Audio Technica ATM-35), rather than simply going with the output from my Fishman Acoustic Matrix, and the results are MUCH better than before.
