Vito And Abbandando (mandolin) - The Godfather Part Ii tab by Soundtracks 🎦

If you would like to see my video lesson: https://youtu.be/JA60XuiW-9E

Composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part II OST in 1974
as track no. 5 `Vito and Abbandando`.

This track is really just a reworked version of The Immigrant, which is the movie`s main theme. It`s
compromised of a string section and lead violin, a clarinet, tuba, guitar, harpsichord and mandolin.
The latter is transcribed, the rest transposed. ??? The mandolin part features both plucking and a continous
tremolo. ??? Standard tuning GDae.
