On another note, it takes a real man to own up to his mistakes. Therefore I owe Paikon an apology. John Williams, the guitar virtuoso, did indeed record CDs which include guitar arrangements of music from The Mission, Schindler's List and and The Godfather. So Paikon, please accept my humble apology.
For everyone else here's a link to John Williams', the guitarist, discography.
