Chi Mai (fingerstyle guitar)
February 24th, 2010 | 
Author: 
TAB AVAILABLE, READ ON…This is a nice kinda classical kinda fingerstyle arrangement of a movie theme by the Italian composer Ennio Morricone (Good Bad Ugly/Fistfull of dollars/etc). A clever chap called Rene Puchinger tabbed it up in 2002, I started hacking it further in 2005 to make it a bit more playable for me. There are several people on youtube playing it all with a slightly different touch.
It is rather hard to play cleanly on the acoustic steel string – too much barring – so I piked out and played it on the electric instead. Well, it is the first time I’ve used the electric on youtube, a change is as good as a holiday…
I added a bit of after effect reverb and graphic to make it sound a more roomy. Yeah, there is a video cut’n'shut about halfway through; I didn’t play it cleanly enough in one take so I spliced a bit out. Sorry – there are plenty of mistakes everywhere else so it’s not too bad 
Give it a try; it will probably be the only 12/8th tune you will ever play!

Thanks for your response JAW.
If those pickups are EMG pickups, you can see it directly when you’re looking on them. There should be silver or gold letters telling you “EMG” or even “EMG-HZ”. No need to do somethin with that guitar, just simply have a look on the pickups.
And maybe this positive responses on your video could lead you to play a few songs on e-guitar, like Dire Straits??? Would be nice to hear some electrical sounds
Greets from Germany, where its 4 o’ clock in the morning…..
Not sure what brand …
Not sure what brand the pickups are, I got that guitar twenty years ago. I don’t play it much, when I do it is normally on the humbucker.
JAW

Am i right if i say that your using EMG-HZ Single/Single/Humbucker?

Excellent, it makes me happy to hear that I inspire people to keep going with the guitar. There is a lot of personal enjoyment to be found in such a simple old instrument
Keep the effort going, and aim to record a video of yourself playing this, and post it! It’s good to have a goal, and you have to start somewhere. Enjoy!
JAW

I have been trying to learn from you for a while now, thanks man for showing me that with practice and your tabs nothing is impossible, you are a great guitarist and I consider you my teacher, though I still strugle with some the songs it does not matter, because it’s when I look at you play it is then that I am inspired, thanx. Always in your debt

I can’t read music very well so i don’t know how to explain this properly.. Um basically do you play up to the 27th bar, then go back to the 2nd again and play to the end?
AWESOME! Amaizing!

Well thank you. I’m …
Well thank you. I’m sure you were never a ‘noob’. I’m tempted to say I hate people who feel the need to come online just to insult others so they can feel better about their own empty lives but I just pity them. You have a lot of growing up to do.
I think you’re not …
I think you’re not very knowledgeable about guitar. First of all, ANYONE could notice the sharp tone from those power rail pick ups…DUH! Secondly, Ibanez does make high quality and affordable guitars but it’s nothing compare to the “best sounding guitars”. I hate noobs, do more research before you talk.
Beautifully played …
Beautifully played & lovely tones – I think Ibanez make the best sounding guitars in the world.
