Battle’s End was co-written by two guitar students at the Gardner Betts Juvenile Justice Center in Austin Texas. It is a piece about overcoming the challenges that all of us face in our lives. Music can be a source of inspiration for many facing difficulties in their life, and the two students who wrote this piece found a way to express their thoughts and feelings through this beautiful piece.

In this piece, you will be learning a new note - D on the second string, along with some new rhythms you have yet to see. Always remember to play expressively using beautiful dynamics. Think about how you can make this piece truly sound like a Battle’s End.
