Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the soundtrack for the Disney film of the same title, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest . The score was composed and arranged by Hans Zimmer in 2006. Zimmer has noted that no electric guitars were used in the score:

Actually, it's not an electric guitar. You know what it is? It's the orchestra put through a guitar amp and piped back into the room. As soon as they finished playing, we plugged them into a guitar amp!

—  Hans Zimmer at SoundtrackNet ^[1]

Response
