Generations of guitarists have passed since 1958....and all see him as the inspiration with a big heart, whose modesty places him even higher on the podium of virtuosity in terms of electric guitar! Hats off to Hank for all the feats that rocked our youth and made us love the sound of the guitar!
Great guitar player, what I like about his sytle of playing is that he doesn't make the guitar scream or wail on the high notes, the sound is so crisp, I marvelled at the different sounds that he produced on one guitar, He's truly a craftsman at his trade.
Let's face it: Hank Marvin is a guitarist that has influenced so many others; including most of the famous guitarists you hear today. He can play anything in any genre; on either acoustic or electric!! He ranks amongst the greatest!! The only reason he has refused a Royal Award for Music (which he was given) is because of personal beliefs
Wonderful to see. A creative genius who gave all fans of Cliff and The Shadows so much pleasure over the years with no strings attached! Looks like he hasn't aged one bit since the 70s. Long may he reign supreme. KAN
Hank Marvin is a trailblazer, who transformed the English music scene playing his now iconic guitar sound and technique, “he’s my hero “ and documented my life with his hits and the Shadows, bloody-fantastic, work Hank. Thank you for your contribution to the pop music and my love of your music😂😂❤❤
Hank is the master of making it look easy...even as a 12 year old obsessed with Malmsteen, Rhoads and Vai, I could see this Guy was something else! Saw him live too...played the Theme from The Deer Hunter. His mastery of the volume control and whammy bar dropped jaws. I can see where Jeff Beck got his style And Hank CAN shred, too! He’s taken private lessons from the Reinhardt family as he’s a huge gypsy jazz fan
Back in the 1980s I was obsessed with speed, shredders and fretboard flash but now I'm approaching my dotage, I finally understand Hank. The gaps between what he says with his fingers are just as important as the notes he plays. Read a novel as fast as you can and you miss every inflection and nuance but read it as Hank plays it and it comes alive.
I was a flashy widdly widdly guitarist in my youth, and I saw Hank as the opposite of everything I was impressed by (Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc). I once tried to prove that he was nothing special by trying to play Foot Tapper, and I failed miserably. What made it even more frustrating was that it doesn't sound difficult even when compared to other Shadows songs, but it kicked my arse. Now that I'm a better player, I've gone back to it, and while I can play it now, it's deceptively tricky. That fast ascending run in Peggy Sue looks like it'll be a challenge.
as much as we can all sweep, rake, prune and mow our way through instrumental tunes today, you try and nail a Hank solo perfectly.. not as easy as it looks... still a huge inspiration to many. Long live the original guitar hero.. We love ya Hank!
Hank,, one of the greatest musicians of our time,,,, though I'll never forget Bruce Welch and how much he also brought to the whole /great story of shadows.. thank you so much..
Jeff Beck, Brian May, Tony Iommi, etc. all learned at the knee of Hank Marvin. He was hugely influential in guitar circles in Great Britain and Europe. Excellent video, as well.
A masterclass by any standards ....so many different techniques and every note is pitch perfect ...the cleanest guitarist ever in my completely ignorant but avid fan opinion ...and a nice bloke with it. Thanks for the Melodies Hank
flash back to when guitars where the instrument. Before noise was sold and listened to. I'd forgotten how good, good music makes you feel.. Thank you Hank.
The most influential guitarist of the 20th Century for those aspiring to play guitar and still great all these years later. Thanks for posting this Video
Indeed! First time I heard Hank's music was around the time I entered my last year at school, and my dad bought an album on vinyl, then later on CD, when it became the new thing. But I was just entranced by his style as dad and I would play chess and we would put Shads on in the background. I then got a strat-type guitar bought once I left school, and once I got the hang of it began playing the shads music as near as I could seeing as I played by ear. Nowadays, I've tried my hand at uploads too although I'm not as good as him, so my channel features a couple hank-inspired tunes here and there which is my tribute to how awesome and legendary his music really is. Nice one on this upload
Many years ago, it was 1961 and I was 11 years old, I first played a vinyl of 45 rounds of shadows (Apache). Since then, I have not stopped listening to them and I think H.M. the most influential guitarist of the twentieth century. He taught everyone a new way to play the guitar.
Agreed. He was inspired by the effects made by contemporaries in his younger days, but he made his sound unique and everybody that hears it knows right away that it is him. I love his music and it inspired me to play lead guitar too.
24 people obviously think Gary Moore, Brian May, Mark Knopfler et all, just woke up and played their new style.. unbelievable! Hank is an absolute legend and pure inspiration. He kicked off the whole guitar instrumental thing..
I agree in part; however, I would include the likes of Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy and Roy Clark...and let's not forget the 'dysfunctional genius' Canadian, Lenny Breau :) Great video of a great instrumentalist.
One Floyd - The Solo Pink Floyd Tribute Show not really. "Rumble" by Link Wray, was the first instrumental hit, recorded in 1954, although of course "Apache" was a huge hit and really brought the guitar instrumental to the masses.
Thanks so much for sharing some of the Hank magic from 97. Such a generous interview & demonstration from one of the best. Great man & guitarist. An honor to watch. Thank you Hank.
CLIFF WAS LUCKY AS HE HAD SHADOWS AS HIS BAND THEY LASTED 3 DECADES UNLIKE OTHERS BUT BEST DRUMMER MIKE NICHOLS I THINK FROM THE VENTURES NO ONE RPT NO ONE COULD EQUAL HIM
No doubting it, Hank was a natural who grabbed his opportunity with bother hands, his feet, his heart and his fertile mind. He's modest, witty, clean and wholesome with no "attitude" that bedevils far too many Pop artistes and sets no worthwhile standard at all. Here we see just how open & honest he is too. The problems start when you try to actually do it! That's the guitar for you. Hank is also very inventive, and accurate. He leaves himself no-where to hide. You will hear almost every error. So, quite a line up of gifts. {Notice I have not mentioned how good looking he is!}
Hank war für mich seit den 50igern schön der größte und heute ist er der Juwel unter den Gitarissten. ich bin überzeugt mit dieser Meinung stehe ich nicht alleine da. Balsam für die Ohren
lovely melodies tuned by the shadows. since fifty years they are still ringing in myears. I heard by other groups the same tunes couldnot impress me perticularly Apache, Foot tapper, Savage& Golden Greats. Hatsoff to THE SHADOWS& HANK MARVIN. apply this comment to all The Shadows Blogs.
I once read a quote that said: "Music is the only art form that slipped down from heaven". Hank reinforces this assertion. Furthermore I think he caught the Fender that an angel dropped from the Stratocastersphere. What a thoroughly nice man too.
When he is playing, you could see the joy or smiles and sometimes his gazing in the skies while he is playing gives me thought that he is thanking God, well I dont know but for me thats a good idea, why not?
So nice to see a master of his instrument at work. This is so nice to listen, without all the distortion, that seems to qualify for music, these days. Lets not forget some other greats: Chet Atkins, Duanne Eddy, Bert Weedon, etc................
Hank you were among the handful of original master guitarists of rock and roll Always loved you. Master of the Game that you are. Thanks for the beautiful music.
I met Hank B. Marvin in the early 80's in Baden Baden, Germany, at the TV studio there. At the time, my band "The four Windows" had our first album out and I was spending quite some time with Hank in the artist lounge between takes. Btw, Melanie (I got a pair of brand new roller skates) was also there. What a nice guy Hank is, a true star, but without the star allures. He had 'taught' me playing the guitar when I was in high school, by getting me hooked listening to Apache, FBI and all the other great tunes. Thank you Hank!
If you're a Hank Marvin fan you have to enjoy this - getting to hear him explain his songs and effects! I hope this man is doing well health-wise and financially.
Love Hank Marvin....such an amazing, accurate guitar player and all around humble guy. He is definitely an inspiration to so many other guitar players, and he's my inspiration as well. What a cool guy, I would certainly love to meet and talk with him!!
I know nothing about guitar playing, but find this one of the most wonderful videos. I'm charmed by Hank's explanations and enjoy hearing all those beautiful songs and portions of songs.
Hank certainly has a fantastic Fender guitar but how he plays is he's own guitar genius. Been listening to the Shadows and Hank since the 60's and will do as long as I'm around.
A fascinating insight into Hank's style of playing guitar, with him showing us all the tricks of the trade on how to get a particular sound. Thanks so much for sharing.
sitting in my living room, 9 years old, 1959, The Shadows came on 6 5 special show, called my mum in, " Mum can I have a Guitar?" Thank goodness she said yes
le nec plus ultra de la technique !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hank marvin est mon idole depuis plus de 45 ans !!!!!!!!!!!et il vient encore de me bluffer avec les positions de ses doigts !!!!!!!!!!sublime !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hank, been your die hard fan since I was 7, the age I started playing the Guitar ; still love the 1st record '20 golden greats' ; hope to meet you some time when I come by to London !
One of the truly great guitarists. Hank Marvin is not only an amazing musician he’s also a lovely man and inspiring for so many who want to.improve their guitar playing. Great interview and I loved every minute. Thank you MrJonnyharry. 👍
hell yeah great stuff from the shadows legend hank marvin, a guitar master. love this guy a lot great music and nice to hear him speak here too. man the shadows was the nuts, one classic instrumental rock band.
I just discovered hank a few months ago, of course I heard his music many years ago, but didn’t know the guitarist behind the music. This is What I have been searching for all these years...yes U2 I found what I was looking for
I found this by accident. This is a great electric biography. Thanks for posting. The Shads, Ventures and Los Straightjackets are my principals. Love guitar music like this. I play steel, but appreciate these artists as well.
Hank Marvin is one of the world's best guitar player and composer ever. His melodious compositions defined an era before the Beatles, where mostly electric guitar instrumentals were the order of the day. You just can't please everyone on this planet thus there will always be detractors.

When my dad played me Apache 45 years ago it changed my life. I was hooked on guitars forever. The guy has such a pure beautiful tone.
I adore listening to Hank Marvin. He is unbeatable. The think that always get to me is the glow and look of joy on his face when he's playing
I admire his skills in his craft, so great guitarist he indeed is, unbeatable, no one can beat him.
I'm a shadow,s fan I like there music I listen on TH-cam

Hank is the guitar players guitarist. Perfection.
Ritchie Blackmore is a huge fan of Hank !!!
Hank Marvin....The best of the Best.
When you see a video like this, it really shows just what a skilled guitarist Hank is.
Absolutely, David !
One of the Cleanest and Most beautiful sounding Guitar players ever .
Jeff Beck, Brian May, Tony Iommi, etc. all learned at the knee of Hank Marvin. He was hugely influential in guitar circles in Great Britain and Europe. Excellent video, as well.
If Mark Knoffler invites him to play with him you know he has got to be good (and is probably one of Mark's guitar heros )
Hank's solos are so memorable just like great vocals. In fact, you can sing all his lines perfectly.
A masterclass by any standards ....so many different techniques and every note is pitch perfect ...the cleanest guitarist ever in my completely ignorant but avid fan opinion ...and a nice bloke with it. Thanks for the Melodies Hank
what a genuine down to earth man and so talented. they don't make stars like that these days
How can you not love Hank!!??
I think the dislikes are maybe non-musicians...this is really dialed in for guitarists.
Correct, this is a great instructional video for guitarists period, any idiot can thumb down a video.
Thank you for posting I do love listening to him play I remember when he first arrived on the scene i am 83 great memories
Cheers Ronda
Fantastic
The purest guitar sound ever!!!! Thank you Hank!!!!
Hank Marvin , beautiful tone and such a clean player , the BOSS !
flash back to when guitars where the instrument. Before noise was sold and listened to. I'd forgotten how good, good music makes you feel.. Thank you Hank.
I'm so happy to have played 40 tunes from Hank. You are a great man, Mr. marvin.
My wife and l were lucky enough to see Cliff and the Shadows in the 02 arena London. An absolutely fantastic night out.🎸
Seeing Hank marvin play and hearing each and everyone of his notes, made me fall in love with music all over again :D
Hank - my first guitar hero. He's still one of my great guitar heroes today.

Heard Apache for the first time in 1960 and just had to get a guitar. I was one of thousands inspired by Hank.
