I have yet to hear a spaghetti western soundtrack with baritone

I don't get why baritone is constantly associated with "spaghetti western." Not that I've heard every soundtrack out there, but I have yet to hear one with baritone guitar. As near as I can tell, if you've got a Fender Jaguar, a clean amp with some spring reverb, and maybe a nasty fuzzbox for those late 60's soundtracks, you've got it covered. Not that you can't play spaghetti western on a baritone, of course. Maybe people are confusing spaghetti western with Duane Eddy? — |

We recorded the Virginian for a compilation cd called "Six Gun Surf". I used my baritone on that... Check it out Craig Skelly Little Kahuna |

Maybe there's a audio-mental association of lower register wound-string leads with the baritone sound? |

Where's the baritone in that? Sad it is all chopped up. Anyway, not sure where you got the impression Spaghetti Westerns have lots of baritone guitar. I think Tuck's theory is right. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Red Dead Redemption, much better. But I enjoyed Revolver myself. 1.) I haven't heard a baritone guitar in this thread, granted I skipped bits and pieces of the songs because... 2.) Spaghetti Western composers other than Ennio Morricone are all(probably) pretty shitty. I haven't heard anything good anyways. Morricone wasn't good because of the twangy sounds and whistling, as too many people believe. Morricone was good because he could capture the heart and soul of a character(whether that character be good, bad, neutral, et cetera). He was also a great organist and composer. I'd say the Mission eclipses anything he did with Leone, or in that "genre". There is a baritone, where the note falls in the octave, and baritone guitar. None of what is posted is a baritone guitar. The Morricone one is an acoustic instrument, certainly tuned lower than low E on a guitar. That instrument... I have no idea. Bass classical/flamenco. They exist. A detuned guitar can accomplish a lot. Most spaghetti western tracks I've heard are just standard tuning, maybe tuned down to d or c. Low e is pretty low and without reverb it sounds much duller and with more thud. |

Tic Tac 6-String Bass, Baritone guitar. Splitting hairs. It's the sound he's looking for and it is there in the clips. Also, if you're limiting yourself to Morricone alone, you're missing out on lot's of good music. I guess since you're not going to listen though, you'll never know. Redemption Sucks. No split screen multiplayer. Mike Last edited: Mar 23, 2011 00:44:46 |

There are a lot great spaghetti western composers. Bruno Nicolai, Benedetto Ghiglia, Bixio Frizzi Tempera, Riz Ortolani, and Stelvio Cipriani come to mind. Morricone was great for a lot reasons, and one of the is his innovative choice of voices. I've tuned a 25.5" scale guitar down to A. If it falls in the baritone range, it counts as baritone to me. — |

Don't forget Luis Enrique Bacalov. His main theme from "A Bullet for the General" is fantastic. Also, the Grand Duel piece from "Storm Rider", which got reused in the anime sequence from the first Kill Bill is top notch stuff. Last edited: Mar 23, 2011 14:42:36 |
