Joe Hisaishi - Summer (from Kikujiro) - Guitar & Mandolin cover

The last cover I've done in 2017 !

Here is the TuxGuitar tab (for both instruments) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/g79q6zrq6hoyow0/Ashitaka%20to%20San%20-%20Mononoke%20Hime.tg?dl=0

I used a guitar tuned 2 tons down for each strings and 3 for the lowest one, so it's Db G C F A D.
Mandolin is tuned GDAE.

It's a Bb minor song, with a slow tempo, originally played on the Piano (with orchestral music). I have transcribed the main arpeggios on Guitar, and the melody (piano and flute) on the Mandolin.

Orchestral are done with some VSTi and SoundFonts.

It was not so difficult to play, but some Guitar arpeggios are uncommon.

I love Ghibli's movie, and Princess Mononoke is in my top tier list.

Joe Hisaishi score is so unrivalled on emotions fields.

Epic, heroic, compassion, sadness, madness and wild.
And finally, for this song, a new hope, a rebirth.

Based on a Paul Decker arrangement.
