ecstasy of gold the good , the bad , and the ugly
ennio morricone

tuning : +8 percent

for the minor keys : step 4 – 2 – 1 ( B – C – A – E ) and the bass is step 4 ( E – – – ) .
for the major keys : step 4 – 2 – 2 ( E – F# – D – A ) and the bass is step 4 ( A – – ) .
^ this is important for the related themes in the good , the bad , and the ugly because
each of the above progressions moves up to different keys , meaning e>a>d>g and they can
continue regardless of whether the key is major or minor . be creative .
