name of guitar solo

July 29, 2007 11:20 AM

There is a guitar song used in the movie "La Bamba", but is not listed on the official movie soundtrack.

I watched the movie a few days ago and have had this guitar song stuck in my head. It almost sounds like a typical surf song, but much slower and very melancholy.... any thoughts?

If it's an instrumental and it's during the funeral scene it's Sleepwalker by Johnny and Santo.

thank you for the imdb suggestion. I didn't even think to use that. the song was "Sleepwalk".
