I could see how this Tarrega classic and some of the

to stray from the fantastic original Tarrega classic,
but I think I have achieved an interesting composite
arrangement that I hope you will enjoy. The changes are
quite subtle to spot in some places, however, the fact
I am not a professional guitarist just an average
amateur, does not help in this arrangement but I have
given it the best I can. The background film is from my
recent trip to Sicily and in some way embodies the
score. I hope you enjoy this video and I welcome your
feedback, which I hope is not too harsh, but more of a
challenge for me to improve my future guitar interests.
