Loch Leven Castle is an old Scottish tune in Am (Dorian) that lends itself well to floating. Although not a common tune among guitar players you’ll pick it up in no time if you’re familiar with tunes like Jerusalem Ridge or Old Dangerfield. I play through the tune twice and use an Am(add9) up the neck for effect. If you’re unfamiliar with this particular voicing it’s really easy to play since it only requires two fingers but makes use of all six strings (ring @ 7th fret D string, index @ 5th fret G string).
