Spaghetti Western Bass

Recommended listening? Go to the source and get a good collection of Ennio Morricone.

 

Very interested. Where did you find the soundtrack, or what source can you recommend in finding another?

Also, mods might want to move to recordings section?

 

In a similar vein are tunes by Al Caiola. Here are a few.

 

Great links! I have one that is by Jet Harris played on a Fender VI bass guitar. Tuned like a guitar but one octive down. Real cool !! Besame Mucho

 

Ok. Thanks! Will check this out. But screw apple. No need to make them into a monopoly...

Also check out soundtracks by Angelo Badalamenti. There's often baritone guitar with tremolo and reverb, a very haunting sound.

 

If you're interested, check out the game "Gundead Defense" on iTunes (for iPod/iPhone) - my band did the soundtrack in the style of post-apocalyptic zombie western

I used my Stingray (tuned BEAD) and my jazz, I think. Also played some baritone guitar doubled with the BEAD bass, that's how you get that thick, tic-tac bass sound!!

 

Did someone say Spegetti Western?

 

Just love Spaghetti Westerns, the music the places the characters, one of my favorites is "My Name Is Nobody" Morricone and the other composer arrangers were so clever using unusual instruments.

 

lol. too late.

 

There's an Ennio Morricone westerns music soundtrack collection that is wonderful.

There's also a very interesting video about the Red Dead music:

Are you guys talking about A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and Once Upon a Time in the West?

Waa-i-a-i-aaah waah waah waaaaah!

 

My father (bless his heart) has soundtracks for all those Clint Eastwood movies (Fist full of dollars, etc.) He loves that stuff!

 

The soundtrack for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is outstanding!

 

You could also have a listen to some of the Pickin On series
Bluegrass covers, sounds like it shouldn't work but some of it does.
Have a listen to Pickin on Led Zeppelin (amazon.com)
That Seasick Steve, Ennio Morricone and Johnny Cash featured pretty heavily on the playlist when I was playing through Red Dead Redemption

 

There's a sound in the RDR music that pops up often that sounds like the Mellotron "electric guitar" tapes.
