Tribute to Ennio Morricone “Cinema Paradiso Love Theme” Solo Fingerstyle Chord Melody Guitar Lesson

“The first note I ever heard of his grabbed hold of me and wouldn’t let me go. I never decided to become a film composer. Ennio and Sergio Leone did that for me, letting me experience their magic. Ennio taught me that the simplest, purest and honest melody is the hardest to write. That it’s not supposed to be easy, that it’s a profound mission we are on that we must take seriously and humbly when we write music.
And that our job is to be the director’s best friend and inspire him.
A good conductor breathes with the orchestra as one.
Whenever you hear his pieces now, you will still hear his breath… you might not see him… but you will always hear him…

Ciao, Maestro!”

Hans Zimmer
