Intro from Rio Lobo by Howard Hawks. Theme compesed by Jerry Goldsmith.

[@victorbutler508]

One of the most haunting lonely tunes you will ever hear. Beautiful in its composition and expression. I have John Wayne movies on DVD. This music touches a place of serenity. Thanks for posting. Never get tired of hearing it.

My father passed away today 6/25/2021 and I still remember him telling me how much he loved this intro. Rip pops.

[@tnator3542]

Can't go wrong with Jerry Goldsmith. What a beautiful composition. ❤

Tommy Tedesco on guitar!!!! LEGEND!

[@richardheudorf2245]

I didn't know that was Tommy!

I come back to this from time to time. My grandpa and I use to watch this movie all the time. I call him the Mexican John Wayne. A real hard ass son of a bitch when it comes time to work, but also the sweetest old man alive. Im going to have a hard time when he passes. Hes getting up there in age

[@anthonypainter5096]

God bless you and your grandfather. You are what the movie was all about. Life is hard but we take care of each other.

Thank you for posting this. I love love love this guitar playing. My dad got me into watching westerns. Rio Lobo is and will always be my favorite western.

Me it's always gonna be a tossup between rio lobo big jake and eldorado for my favorite john wayne movie

John Wayne is by far my favorite actor, wish i had the chance to meet him. Love all of his movies but Rio Lobo is one of my favorites. Love true grit, the searchers. They’re all good.

[@19torento]

The entire Rio Bravo trilogy and True Grit and the sequel were all pretty good.

[@johnkirschman9397]

I just wish this nation still had that spirit of the West, that knowledge of right and wrong, that willingness to fight the good fight. Thanks for posting this. As for Rio Lobo, the more I see it, the more I appreciate its ethos, its humor, and values.

@@Just_Zachh GFY lazy, incompetent, uneducated, slacker millennial...I don't agree with their politics but the boomers you hold so much in contempt stopped a war they believed unjust and passed civil rights legislation that forever ended jim crow. They fought for women's rights. Homosexual rights, and black rights. They forever changed this country (I'm a righty but I respect what they have done). All your generation has done is take and take and break things.... it was your parents fault originally as that's how you were raised, but now that you are supposedly grown up it's time to grow up to be men and women...lastly, watch your mouth.

Tedesco also performed for film soundtracks such as The French Connection, The Godfather, Jaws, The Deer Hunter, Field of Dreams, Gloria plus several Elvis Presley films. He was also the guitarist for the Original Roxy cast of The Rocky Horror Show. Additionally, he performed the opening guitar solo for the Howard Hawks and John Wayne film Rio Lobo.

[@stratocruising]

They needed to credit about twice as many people, the stut mans gardener, the post office guy who brought the mail. More credits equal more guitar.

[@tonyryan6688]

I was lucky to meet guitar legend Tommy Tedesco whose hands are featured in opening of Rio Lobo

OOOhhhh that is Tommy Tedesco from the Group The Wrecking Crew including Glen Campbell and Brian Wilson

Buenas películas como esta ya no se hacen

[@VanWADebbie]

Like that Howard Hawks signature.

[@langelodidio-goaldo1105]

Pellicola davvero stupenda, sceneggiatura avvincente con sparatorie realistiche e ben realizzate, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che i revolver a percussione e a polvere nera usati durante la metà del 1800 non avevano cartucce sigillate per proteggere la polvere dall'umidità dell'aria, dalla pioggia, ecc. e certamente non potevano sopportare di essere immersi in un fiume e poi sparati. Nella pellicola al minuto 29, il sergente confederato si è nascosto sott'acqua nel fiume respirando attraverso una canna tagliata. Quindi esce dal fiume e si intrufola tra i cespugli con la pistola in mano come se pensasse che sparerà se avrà bisogno di usarla, quindi davvero stupenda e davvero stupenda per me come valutazione è 8,5.

[@susanesquer1520]

Good movie , great cast and good entertainment ! (7 December 2018 1530 hours)

[@jonimichalski9193]

Ok thank you love some of John Wayne movies not all but some

[@teller121]

Agreed. Never has one piece of simple music help an average movie this much. The music combined with the transition of the movie from the post war south quickly to an area of TX, presumably near Mexico, was well done. Wayne, Elam - good (French never had a chance). The rest were an effort, imo, to escape the pain of the obvious fact that this was yet another play on Rio Bravo ('59). El Dorado ('67) pulled it off, but three times? That's why I think they pulled in new faces in starring roles.

[@MrSwiftmick]

Never mind your opinion. The movie is now a classic and that is all that matters

[@teller1290]

@@MrSwiftmick it's a classic because it had John Wayne and it reflected America from another time - a time that I and many older people long for. Personally, I like the movie. I like the theme, Civil War opening plotline, love the character actresses, actors. Chicks are smoking and there's good humor in it. I'm just saying it's the least impressive of the Rio Bravo, El D, Rio L trilogy. There's no Dean Martin or Mitchum to bounce off Wayne in this movie like they had in Rio L or El D. Ironically, I usually find myself fighting against people calling this a bad movie when I believe it to be a good one, not against people calling it a great movie.

It was Tommy Tedesco on guitar

[@massesesclaves644]

+Denny Tedesco I'd like to believe that, but Tommy Tedesco played only exclusively with a pick, even spanish guitar. Maybe it was someone else playing on film.

[@WreckingCrewMovie]

the film clip isn't Tommy. Tommy recorded the music. the film clip is a recreation. Yes on the pick.

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Denny Tedesco were you related to Tommy? I loved his Guitar Player column.

[@WreckingCrewMovie]

yep, it was my dad. Have you caught the Wrecking Crew Doc? I made that about him and his friends

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Nice, Danny. Streaming or available on disc?

[@teller121]

Funny how they don't let a pretty good heavy, in Victor French, develop. They give it all to "Blue Tom," and he really wasn't up to it. Three great looking women and Jack Elam, and this great lead-in save the Duke and Hawks from having a lemon here. I liked the Civil War lead in to the main plot.

The guitar heard in this opening scene certainly was played by the legendary Tommy Tedesco. However, the hands you see here were not his as Tommy used a pick even while playing classical guitar.
