Big Country made the electric guitar sound like bagpipes and fiddles, with Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson using e-bows, effects and interlocking lines to evoke Scottish folk melody. Their leads are less about shredding than about soaring, anthemic hooks that turned the guitar into a ceremonial instrument.
