Here’s a little library. May find some other little gems too.
Good luck, enjoy!

Also, here’s the result if you search MandolinCafe with ‘Italian’ as a thread title.

Yes I have that but it's not exactly like the one on youtube, oh well, down to .25x time and write it down ;-)

This is probably the most recognizable tarantella, it’s often called the wedding tarantella. There are many variations on this theme, you can mix it up and make it your own.

Hehe, that'll take some months. Recently started mandolin and just started Tarantella ;-)

It's the Tarantella Napoletana.
I am learning it on the guitar and the ukulele.
I typeset it for the mandolin (in the key of Am) but haven't used it yet.
I started with this abc (which is my transcription of a score I downloaded somewhere):

Code:

X:1
T:Tarantella Napoletana
M:6/8
L:1/8
K:Am
|: z3 a2 a | e2 e a2 a | e3 d2 e | f2 ffgf | e3 e2 e |
 e2 d d2 d | d2 c c2 c | c2 B c2 B | A6 :|
|: z3 A2 B | cBc dcB | cB cd cB | (cB) A^G AB |
A3 A2 B | cBc dcd | ede (fe)d | cBA ^GAB | A6 :|
|: z3 G2 G | c2 c e2 e | g2 gg ag | f2 ff gf | e2 e G2 G |
 c2 c e2 e | g2 gg ag | ba gf ed | c6 :|

I can post the tablature if you are interested.

this piece is forever linked to a German spaghetti kit in my mind...

Thank you but I have managed "my own" from a youtube video, so now I can practice and listen to that video although I put in a few ideas from other editions. "Never just copy, always add something"
