Scotland (bluegrass / written with Courier) Arranged and transcribed by Adriano Sofo (adriano.sofo@libero.it)- Italy. This song was composed by a guy called Bill Monroe. Open a good bottle of red wine, ask anyone to play this tune on mandolin and dance with a girl (with a final kiss). It is impossible do not dance with these notes. The peculiarity is the continuous open A on intro and other open strings, used to remember the bagpipe "feeling". Pay attention. It is hard to play together open notes and melody line: You always have to let ring the open strings. Medium speed. h = hammer on, only the first note fretted p = pull off, only the first note fretted g = glissato before reaching the note on tab When there is not any number instead of them it mean a legato (the previous note continue to sound).
