Caledonia - Dougie MacLean's Scottish National Anthem - A 77-Year Guitarist's Take

Dougie MacLean's Scottish National Anthem - A 77-Year Guitarist's Take -- "Caledonia" is one of the most memorable songs in its genre. This is my acoustic guitar cover of Caledonia, a fingerstyle arrangement that captures the heart of this classic. I'm seventy-seven years old with over sixty years of guitar behind me. Songs like Caledonia are where all those years of experience show -- the phrasing, the dynamics, the way you let the melody breathe. This is Caledonia the way I hear it now.
