The Theory of Everything
The Theory of Everything (2014) is a biographical romantic drama film set at the University of Cambridge. It details the life of the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. The exquisite music, by the late Johann Johannsson, won the Golden Globe for best score.
This has long time been one of my favorite pieces to play on guitar. It is so uplifting.

(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.)

The guitar tab for The Theory of Everything is beautifully written across two pages. The guitar tab is essentially one long passage played twice. I recommend this piece for beginner and intermediate guitar players. [You'll want to take note of the left hand fingering I use at 0:31 of the video. Using the 2nd fingers on top is the only to play that section fluidly.] Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:
