The Spaghetti Western Thread

[kenposurf]

Having recently got hooked on the baritone guitar seemed like the right time to delve into some of the coolest movie music out there. Please use this thread to discuss movies, music, instruments, musicians etc of this style. To start here's a link to a well done article on the father of the style Ennio Morricone.

this is one of my favourite songs ever, a couple of Italian actors (Bud Spencer/Carlo Pedersoli and Terence Hill/Mario Girotti) had wide success since late 60s and throughout the 70/80s with several films, mainly western

Some of the FUNNIEST fight scenes you will ever see. Their movies are absolute treasures.

The new Quentin Tarantino flick has a great deal of the spaghetti western music from Morricone. He's also used this for Kill Bill. Morricone has created some of the best film music ever. His scores for the Eastwood "Man with no name" films, as well as Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America are some of the most enjoyable film scores.

Great links and comments folks Thanks!
I recently got a baritone guitar and have been writing a couple of tunes in this style which motivated me to start this thread...the gradual adding of musical layers to the theme from The Good The Bad and The Ugly..is a good lesson to work from.
