Inception

Inception is a 2010 science fiction film written, and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb; a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious. Cobb is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased in exchange for a seemingly impossible task, Inception: the implantation of another person's thought into a target's subconscious.

Recall the world-bending special effects in Doctor Strange. Christopher Nolan pioneered that 10 years earlier with Inception.

Time

Director, Christopher Nolan has literally a perfect track record. Every one of his movies are universally adored by audiences and critics. Since Batman Begins, Hans Zimmer has scored most of Nolan's films. Inception, is one of Hans Zimmer's greatest film scores. The finale, Time, is a masterpiece. It has been widely copied and unscrupulously poached for other films.

Time is not difficult to play. Hans Zimmer uses a very simple, and brilliant chord progression. Eventually the melody weaves into the chord progression, and it sits well within the established chord shapes.

The guitar tab for Time is beautifully written across 3 pages. It's spaciously written so it's easy to comprehend. Enjoy this, the guitar tab is available below:
