Note: On the soundtrack to “The Godfather,” the Love Theme is in E-flat, but that’s a little squeaky for harmonica. I’d recommend using a lower harp, like an A or a G. The 3rd hole bends are tougher, but the higher notes will sound better. I’ve also adjusted a couple of melody notes to avoid overblows, but overall this is pretty accurate. Enjoy!
