In the USA, probably best known for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
He also wrote wonderful music for the guitar.
This is more film music, so pretty on guitar:

R.I.P. Ennio. Your music lives on, even in beer commercials.

He's the guy that made me first realize that people who write soundtracks and theme music are high class, hugely talented people. RIP.

I thought the young guitarist in the first post was the deceased and thought, "Wow, he must have written the Good, the Bad and the Ugly when he was 5 years old."
That's beautiful playing. Why is he both plugged in through the pickup AND have a microphone? I guess he made two audio tracks simultaneously and then mixed? Gene?

I'd call this movie one of the best marriages of music and film ever.

Why is he both plugged in through the pickup AND have a microphone? I guess he made two audio tracks simultaneously and then mixed? Gene? One of the obsessive tendencies of recording is to grab as many tracks as you can. Deutsche Grammophon Has been known to mic every instrument in a studio orchestral recording. You want to have a room tone and I will often, as I did a while back for Don Clark, and also spot mics on the sound hole as well as around the 12th fret. Now what I do for the room tone is to have a stereo pair vs single mic. For me the stereo pair opens up the room to please the ear. So I believe he wants the room which will give the full range of the instrument including lower frequencies, then fir that higher frequency “bite” he will use the inline track and in the mix adjust the “bite” according to the sound he is aiming for. Just a guess...
