Yellowstone
Free audio download of this performance on SoundCloud.
Yellowstone is a Paramount TV series written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River). Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, a father trying to protect his ranch, the largest in the United States, from land developers, and a neighboring Indian reservation.
Taylor Sheridan is one of those writer/directors where I'm frequently checking his IMDb page. I can't get enough of his characters and backdrops.
I really love this opening theme and sequence. The music by composer, Brian Tyler, has a slight Spanish characteristic to it -- so I knew the chord progression would easily work on guitar. The music dips into some dissonant sounding chord shapes that I thought were very compelling. I'm excited to borrow those ideas for my own music.

(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 Yellowstone is beautifully written across two pages. Although there's some Gustavo Santaolalla-esque trills in my arrangement -- the piece is under two minutes -- making it doable for beginner guitarists. However, I do recommend it for intermediate guitar players and up. Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:
