Default favorite guitar piece you wish you could play

My favorite piece of music i wish I could play is Bach's Gavotte in E Major .Segovia version is so perfect. That is the one piece of music I would feel like"I accomplished something"! What's yours?

I don’t often listen to instrumental pieces but I would give anything to play anything at all off Leo Kottke’s first album.

This I suppose:



I probably could get it if I spent enough time with it, but I don't think I could match the speed of the opening lick. There is, however, a big difference from being able to play it and having come up with it (in this case, the arrangement, not the song). Meaning just because I spent the time to learn and practice it doesn't make me on the level of Tommy E.

Stephanie, from Buckingham and Nicks. Haven't really found a good tab for it. Lindsey is really awesome.

I can play all of the parts, but I really wish I could put "Manzanita" together:

I was at a good point with this one, but tax season set me back a bit. I have to get back to it and see if I can get down.

Not overly technically-demanding, but IMO the quintessential classical-guitar piece...

Get tabs from John Stropes, Tab Pigs or Mark Hanson (not all have everything, but between the three).
Crow River Waltz is pretty approachable by regular humans.
I'm at the point of doing a hack job on about 2/3rds of the album.

But since Leo came up:

Eggtooth.

He's done many differing versions of it, but this one covered by Andrew Lardner is my dream piece. I don't have enough years left in me to even get close....
