"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.
OK..........remember Christopher Walken in that SNL skit where he says "MORE COWBELL"...................guess what: "MORE HECTOR!!!!!!!! His delivery and mannerisms as so gentle and he is so endearing..........he makes me feel as if I can learn anything....................I've been stuck on so many of the rock music lessons and thought "Let me try this more classical approach". I should have done this first because I am learning some fundamentals here that will help me play any type of music so much better.
Thank you Neil for having Mr. Garcia................can we get some more lessons from him?

This is good. It really isn't too difficult - although there is one VERY Awkward chord - and very achievable. Interestingly enough, I don't accent it in the way Hector does, because I think the piece is strong enough on its own without unnecessary ornamentation. But that's only my opinion. But, a very good piece to get stuck into.
