Spanish Romance, Classical Gas, Some John Williams stuff maybe. If no-one else replies to this thread I'll dig out some albums and have a look for some more.

"Embryonic Journey" by Jefferson Airplane (Jorma Kaukonan) is an extremely impressive sounding contemporary acoustic instrumental. It was recorded originally using two guitars but is not that difficult to play using alternating-thumb style on a single guitar ("not that difficult" of course being a relative term). A good intermediate acoustic fingerstyle guitarist who is familiar with alternating-thumb style could easily handle it.

Hi, is this anything to do with me?

I know the mp3 d/l is around (a few guys here have found it before). If you can't find it, I could play it for you onto SoundClick or something, which would be very similar but not a note-for-note to the recording (after I learn a tune note-for-note originally, from that point on I just kind of do it my way, but it would be very similar). There is a tab for it on this site, but it isn't the greatest and has some inaccuracies. Let me know if you can't find it.

It honestly isn't as difficult as it sounds.

There's a nice little piece called Petite Etude by the rock band Triumph, and the tab is available here; just browse by artist.
