Today's lesson is wonderful to me..

Hector Garcia has kindly created for us The Godfather's Theme


"Speak Softly Love (Love Theme From "The Godfather")" is a song written for "The Godfather" (1972),the first film in the Godfather trilogy. While its instrumental version is simply known as "The Godfather Theme","Speak Softly Love" is the vocal version. The words are by Larry Kusik with music by Nino Rota.

Originally sung by Andy Williams, other artists, such as Bobby Vinton, have also recorded the song. Slash of Velvet Revolver(formerly of Guns N' Roses) had also performed it in a hard rock style. Slash's version contains backing chords from Izzy Stradlin, bass from Duff McKagan, piano from Axl Rose and has a solo in the beginning.

Many versions recorded all over the world are also popular. There are multiple arrangements of the theme for large and small orchestras, bands and even ethnic instrument groups. Also, there are solo versions arranged for the most popular instruments. Good guitar arrangements are among the best, since the music allows guitar players to use the rich expressive features that the
instrument offers.


It is a Level 5 and available now for all Target members

Hope you enjoy it


Cheers

Matt
