The Wings

Free audio Download on SoundCloud. 

The Wings completes my arrangements for the Oscar winning Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla. This song is what initially drew me into Gustavo Santaolalla's film score work, way back in 2005. From there, the theme Brokeback Mountain 1 changed the way I think about music (and my guitar playing) forever.

Gear Used

For, The Wings, I used my Taylor GS Mini Walnut. It's a big sounding parlor size guitar. I love the GS Mini, it's the only steel string acoustic I play. For a list of all of my current gear, click here.

The guitar tab for The Wings is beautifully written across 3 pages, and played straight though without repeats. This arrangement is relatively easy to play, as there are no difficult chord shapes. However, the various finger-style techniques might be a bit confusing for less experienced guitar players.

Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:
