It’s called Mangoré, por Amor al Arte (Mangoré, for the Love of Art). It’s about the legendary Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustín Barrios, also known as Agustín Barrios Mangoré. The movie should be out August, 2015.
This is original lute music by lutenist Ronn McFarlane, from his Emmy-nominated recording Indigo Road. Thanks to luthier Jeffrey Elliott for bringing this to my attention.
Richard Yates was one one of the very first people to put quality guitar transcriptions online. Now he’s bundled them into a singe file for download.
Says Richard:
While most of these have been on my site for years, many have been added only recently.
The file is a package of pdf files. You might (or not) need to upgrade to the latest Acrobat Reader to view it properly. It is about 30MB so I suggest saving the file and then opening it rather than opening it directly from your browser.
If you visit Richard’s main site — Yatesguitar.com — check out his playing of the famous Prelude in E Major by Bach. Beautiful!
Tracy Chapman gives a beautiful performance of Ben E. King’s 1961 classic, Stand By Me. The lyrics and her voice go right to the heart, and her guitar accompaniment shines with beautiful simplicity.
When the audience is quiet like that at the end of a performance, it’s better than a standing ovation.
