Jonny Greenwood
"Open Spaces" from There Will Be Blood

Obviously, it's played by a string section, but you can simulate the glissando effect on guitar by either
sliding or bending (if you're brave). Hoping to work out more of Greenwood's orchestral work soon.

Be sure to dig into the slides (or bends) and make them very deliberate to get the desired effect.
Each line is restricted to one string to give a sense of which note are held, etc.
