The Wicked Flee - Carter Burwell (Fingerstyle Guitar)

This is based on the simple piano arrangement by Carter Burwell that is based on the old hymn, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" written by Anthony Showalter. The tune was featured in the recent remake of the movie, "True Grit". If you're fond of this tune, as the title suggests, you may want to flee before the music starts.

Hey! Did you make this arrangement? It's just beautiful. Again you present me with a piece I have never heard before. How do you do that? I mean, I though I knew all the pieces in the world that could be played on a guitar... darm you!

:-)

Love,

Peo

@AndanteLargo I guess you didn't see the recent American western film, "True Grit". I didn't exactly arrange this. It's more a sloppy transcription of a piano instrumental by Carter Burwell. Of course, he plays it more effectively than I.

good job! so smooth and perfect for beginning players.. is it just me or does the link to this piece (from your site) lead to a piece called "everlasting arms"???

[oldwhtman]

@WisdomValleser Yes, the tab is titled " Leaning on the Everlasting Arms". "The Wicked Flee" is based on that melody, so I thought it was appropriate when I did the tab to give credit to the original composer. I think I'll change the title to "...Wicked..." and use the "...Everlasting ..." title as a subtitle. That would be less confusing. I hate it when people rename other people's work . . . just because they're dead.

Sir, thank you for this music, i liked true grit and of course the wicked flee. I tried to play it on guitar with no success, now thanks to you i'll be able to. I also liked other musics you put online like songs of naruto. Hope you will continue your fantastic job for a long time.
