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!

I wrote this piece in December of 2006. People frequently ask where the titles and inspiration come from for my music. So, I give this description here, not for the moral reference, but to connect the drama in the music to the pictured scene that was running through my mind when I wrote it. The feelings and imagery occurring to me as I wrote this piece focused on the events surrounding the decision being made and the order given to arrest Jesus, up to His actual arrest in the Garden, and Him subsequently being led out of the Garden into the darkness of the night; His disciples all having abandoned Him. This piece was an “obsessive-compulsive” type of write for me, since I couldn’t stop playing it after I finished it. As I played it over and over, it’s underlying theme constantly ran through my mind; the piece being a very emotional piece for me to both compose, play, and record.

TAB AVAILABLE, READ ON…I decided that I would learn to play this tune for my daughters wedding. Seeing as she is only 3, I’ve got plenty of time to practise – which is lucky, for many reasons…

Yes, I am staring at the tab while I play; I can’t do this one from memory yet. It was arranged by Chief Noda but modified a bit for playability by me.
