Saturday Guitar

This and the Asturias are my two favorite Spanish guitar pieces. There were so many good versions of this on You Tube I had a hard time picking which one to post.

It's "la Alhambra" composed by Francisco Tarraga (1852-1909), born and died in Spain. He is considered the father of modern classical guitar playing.

And the translation of that is Memories of Granada. Don't have to know how to do scales to play that one.
