Farewell to Altamira
Free audio download of this performance on SoundCloud.
I LOVE this piece from Mark Knopfler. Next to The Godfather theme, it's currently my most favorite thing to play. This piece is from the film Finding Altamira. The score is comprised of Knopfler -- deftly playing subtle, Spanish guitar lines on a steel string parlor guitar.

The guitar tab is beautifully written across 2 pages. I highly recommend this piece for intermediate guitar players. It sounds sophisticated -- but it's relatively easy to play for a Spanish guitar piece. I hope you luxuriate in this arrangement like I do. The guitar tab is available below:
