The Godfather Finale (mandolin) - The Godfather Tab

If you would like to see my video lesson: https://youtu.be/JKMPVYlR3aA Composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carlo Savina. Released on The Godfather OST in 1972 as track no. 12 `The Godfather Finale`. This closing piece combines the most prominent themes of the soundtrack as we move through the melodies of The New Godfather, The Love Theme or Apollonia and The Godfather Waltz. I transposed from the string section and lead violin, as well as the clavietta. There are two mandolins playing within octaves of each other on the recording, which I both transcribed. They are both playing a continuous tremolo. Standard tuning GDae.
