The good, check, the bad, check, the ugly, check, I have been all three in my life time! Today I am the teacher and I wanted to pay respects to Ennio, whom we lost this Monday, July the 6th 2020.
Today we are going to learn how to play "The Good, the Bad and The Ugly" on the Ukulele. This is one of the most iconic film scores of all time way up there with movies like Jaws and Halloween. Sadly, Ennio Morricone, the composer of this song passed away on the 6th of July, the day before we decided to do this song. I did this one without any barre chords because I got such a positive response from the pink panther tutorial I wanted to do something similar that I felt Ukulele players of all levels could enjoy. Even if you are a beginner you'll be able to learn how to play the song if you stay focused on committed to the tutorial. He was not only the composer of this song, but really an entire genre of music has he essentially turned "Spaghetti Western" into a musical genre all on its own. As always we will walk you through the song note for note, bar for bar to makes sure that you master the song. At the end of the tutorial we will play through the whole song together with a play-along. The following lesson is Clint Eastwood approved.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain also deserves a shout out for their amazing rendition of song. It really goes to show you how much more powerful of a piece you can get on the Ukulele when you arrange a larger song for other instruments to create more polyphony and depth. This version is of course just for one person but you will see the harmony above the chords if you wanted to try and strum along and give the song a little more depth as well.
