I’m looking for a song with spanish guitar, I thought it was Jose Faliciano originally - I know it’s a famous guitarist… It was suppose to simulate and army division going into battle, fighting, then retreating.

Anyone have a clue to what song I’m talking about.

When you say “song,” I assume it has lyrics? English? Spanish? Some other language?

Nope. It is just music. The guitar simulated the sound of the horses galloping, bagpipes playing (its a Scottish division) etc.

“Scots on horseback” makes me think of Waterloo:
