"Celtic" guitar music is quite the rage right now, but I have discovered that it is NOT guitar music at all, but it was originally written for and played on the Celtic harp! So, we are playing music that was never intended for the guitar, and on an out of tune guitar at that! That's not really so bad. We play Appalachian fiddle tunes on the guitar too.

Out of curiosity, I bought a "Celtic" guitar CD, "Ramble to Cashel". the music was pretty, but halfway through the CD it got boring. I'm gonna get killed for saying this, but It all sounds pretty much the same to me. I'd like to hear it on the Celtic harp it was originally written for. What is a Celtic harp anyway?

Open tunings are fun and easy to play in. I'm discovering open D (DADF#AD), for the first time, because of my finger injury (see OUCH! thread).
