Hey Ben
I'm probably old enuff to be your grandad. Maybe close, anyway.
When you go back and listen to those 60's spaghetti westerns now, they weren't playing much slide. Mostly twangy Fenders with a lot of reverb up, and a bit of palm muting. Clint Eastwood type stuff. The nasty slide guitar western soundtrack stuff appeared in the eighties and early nineties. A lot of it was done by Ry Cooder. Try getting a hold of the soundtracks from Johhny Handsome, or Paris, Texas for examples. His stuff is very moody, ethereal and downright scary sounding.
Better yet- just get some Ry Cooder albums. Into the Purple Valley, Chicken Skin Music, Jazz,.
Here's a link to Ry Cooder land.....
