Hello Every Bloody!

I posted in my fave surf guitar thready already, and I just now found the forum where newbies introduce themselves. So I apologize for the faux pas! So a big hello, and looking forward to learning about surf and spaghetti western. On that note how would you differentiate between the two? I sort of see surf as the original daddy-o, and spaghetti as an offshoot of 60's instrumental and surf music, no? Last edited: Jun 30, 2019 16:31:18 Top

Is anyone aware? And if you're talking about the biggest and most obvious, the Sergio Leone movies scored by Ennio Morricone, I'm not sure if there was any direct influence at all.

Welcome to the forum. Thank you! And that's a great point you make, I never really thought about it...I guess I was thinking of the modern "spaghetti western" bands out there, they seem heavily surf derived to a certain degree...but yeah interesting. Your point and implication that that style of music was invented by the musicians that scored those films is a bit revelatory to me. I am certainly no authority on the genre, but what you say rings true! Last edited: Jun 30, 2019 17:58:03 Top
