Asturias (Leyenda) - No. 5 from Suite Española, Op. 47 by Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909). I’ve based this mainly on arrangement on the piano score and my own ideas but I'm also influenced by the John William’s performance. Isaac Albéniz was a Spanish pianist, composer, and conductor. He is one of the foremost Spanish composers of the Post-Romantic era. He is best known for his piano works based on Spanish folk music idioms. He actually never wrote guitar music but was certainly influenced by it which explains why this work actually sit on guitar nicely (tremolo is quite difficult on keyboard). You can also find the tab as a hardcopy in my Classical Guitar Tab book on Amazon.
