Below is a double stop melody piece that can be used as an intro, or solo, to
"Mona Lisa".  This transcription resolves to the key of D.  The original recording is
in Db, but the fingerings can, of course, simply be moved to any position.  It's fun to
play, and with some practice can be achieved fairly easily for a novice/intermediate
level player.  Some slides and a little finger vibrato make this sing.
