Morning

Free download of this performance on SoundCloud.

Morning is the central theme from August: Osage County -- a highly underrated soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla. Much like Brokeback Mountain, the film's score has Santaolalla exploring uniquely Americana themes.

[I posted this song in 2014, but my friend Derek, an avid guitarist and reader of this blog, suggested that it was time for a 2020 redo]

Morning is beautifully written across two pages. It's essentially one long passage, played twice. This piece is relatively easy to play. While best for intermediate guitar players, beginners can definitely give it a shot too.

I like this song as an etude that really works Santaolalla's arpeggiated right-hand technique.  A good start for that technique would be a song called Did This Really Happen? Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:
