I bought the sheet music PDF with tab from Lathkill and it's very well laid out. I have been learning 'Lamento di Tristano' because it's my favorite piece here and seems a bit more accessible. I'm an electric player who is new to classical guitar and I'm finding it pretty different and challenging. I'll always love rock and metal, but I think traditional folk (medieval and celtic styles) like this are where my heart really belongs.

Thank you! That's a church indeed, now a museum, in my hometown Rhodes. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century, underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Saint John, turned into a mosque in the early 16th century by the OttomanTurks who added a minaret. That feature was later removed by the Italians in the 20th century during restoration.
