Cavatina (Theme to the Deer Hunter) by Stanley Myers/ Johan Williams (1930-1993)

Stanley Myers is best known for Cavatina (1970), an evocative guitar piece that served 
the signature theme for Michael Cimino's 1978 film "The Deer Hunter".
The piece had been recorded by classical guitarist John Williams, long before the film 
made it famous. It had originally been written for piano
but at Williams' invitation, Myers re-wrote it for guitar and expanded it.


3/4 Standard Tuning. 67 Total Bars. Play slowly. You will need to be precise in landing 
chords.


Bar 7 is a tough.

Bar[7]
Hold the barre chord on the 7th as tight as possible to double suspend the bass and 
note (High and Low E).
The real difficulty (*) is pressing way down on the barre chord to produce a clear sound 
the D string. Keep practising your left hand grip with your index and the
thumb on the neck.

Bar[41]-[45]
longest span of barred chords. A dark sounding series of arpeggios and some tight 
chords.
