Lago Frías 

Free audio download on SoundCloud.

I often create medleys and musical derivatives that I personally want to hear. Lago Frias (The Motorcycle Diaries) has always been one of my favorite guitar riffs from composer Gustavo Santaolalla. But, it's only a riff.

With this arrangement, I've created a Motorcycle Diaries Medley beginning with Lago Frias and continuing with:

Partida del Leprosario,

La Partida,

and Leyendo en el Hospital.

Of course, all are from Gustavo Santaolalla's venerable Motorcycle Diaries soundtrack, which is one of his greatest musical achievements. The music is so good. You can easily use it to soundtrack your own road trip -- or just an evening glass of vino.

Gear used

For Lago Frias, I used my Cordoba C7 Cedar top. It's a deep and boomy guitar that I use specifically for low and alternate tunings. You can find a current list of my gear here.

(This is music that I’ve played and intend to play on Intellimusica. It flows beautifully — and additionally works as music for focus, meditation, and relaxation.)

I would characterize Lago Frias as relatively easy to play -- as none of the chord shapes are difficult. However, the guitar tab is three pages long, and some beginners might be a bit overwhelmed. I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed creating it. The guitar tab is available below:
