Romanza del desierto for Guitar Solo

When I wrote "Romanza del Desierto" I had been living in Arizona and I would frequently camp in the desert with friends. The setting sun behind the mountains and the beautiful light it created was my inspiration. It made all the saguaro, palo verde trees and cholla cactus take on a whole new look. At the same time I was trying to create an alternative to the famous and anonymous "Romanza". Several times when playing it I have seen women shed a tear.
