Hank is so humble and modest. He refuses to take credit for his accomplishments and contributions. He is, to a degree, self deprecating and he throws humour into the mix it as well.
Hank makes it look supremely easy, but it's almost impossible to do it just like he does. A truly brilliant beautiful human being, with a musical talent like no other.
Quite agree. You think you can pick up your guitar and bang out his tunes (it's hardly like you've got to play fast or tap etc etc 😅). Then you plug in, play the first few bars and realise you're a million miles away from coming close
Hank in days gone by loved beside my lovely aunt Emily who unfortunately was deaf , she was so wonderful. Hank came to my mothers home one time and played guitar , amazing. Skilled as he was dedicated and gifted. Always practice a great deal. Well accomplished. Gave so much joy to the world with awesome playing!!! Thank you so very much.
Hank is such an amazing technician. His tone and consistency is just so hard to replicate. And so many different tones. You couldn’t find more different songs than Apache and FBI - completely different tones, styles, genres and techniques, but you immediately think of him when you hear them, because he invented it all. British Rock - he was the genesis. He was the guitar sound that the Beatles, Stones tried to replicate. I mean, even in the 1970s, Jimmy Page’s jangly jagged playing can be traced back to Hank playing FBI. And all of that is why all guitarists still worship the ground he walks on
Hank was not well known in the US, even though Cliff Richards was popular. But George Harrison put it best when he said "No Shadows, no Beatles". And by extension. No Stones,Zeppelin, Floyd, etc. I wish I had discovered Hank's music during b the 60s. Long live Hank Marvin!!
Hank Marvin permanecerá en el recuerdo musical de todos los tiempos por su estilo sobrio, por ése toque inconfundible de su guitarra qué nadie ha podido imitar en fin no tengo palabras para describir porque es único en su estilo por sobre todo, la humildad que expresa en ese don que Dios le concedió para llegar a multitudes.
Neil Young wrote a song "From Hank To Hendrix", and most people assumed it was referring to Hank Williams until he said in an interview it was Hank Marvin. He was a big fan when he was starting out.
Way back, all young would-be guitarists, me included, wanted a Fender, and to play like Hank Marvin. Most of us went on to other jobs, but we took with us every note of every tune he ever played so originally, and brilliantly.
So true Bob. Myself and the late George Browne from Rarotonga Cook Islands were deeply influenced by Hank and the rest is history. William Percival Gardenia Band New Zealand Kia Orana.
My dad tells me this story every year how he wanted that Fiesta Red Fender Stratocaster, which colour was actually a factory mistake. The man has been influenced by Marvin until this day. Still plays in a Shadows cover band, still has a Fender Strat and a Burns, still tries to sound exactly like Marvin since when he were a kid.
One of the true Masters of the Stratocaster...his sound is synonymous with great guitar sound and technique. Did I mention he is a true gentleman as well?
Well that goes for Cliff and cool Bruce too. In an interview Bruce Welch refers to health and mentions that the three of them have always been non smokers. So, as he said they'd have never thought of lighting up a spliff in the sixties. Worth pointing out that until a few years ago The Shadows could have fielded their original team years after so many other younger acts have all passed away.
WOW this man is timeless - and an English Gentleman (lives here in Perth Western Australia) the instantly recognised guitar rifs and tunes written and played by men like this will never be repeated - Here are some names and ages that old people like me (50) may relate to and not realise where the years have gone - Bob Dylan (75) Carlos Santana (69) Don Henley (69) Neil Young (71) John Fogerty (71) Paul Simon & Art G. (75) Neil Diamond (75) - I saw this old man (Neil) in concert 3 yrs ago and I was blown away, what a legend. Mark Knofler (67) Mark is my personal alltime guitar/sing/writer legend. David Gilmore (70) Roger Waters (73) Willie Nelson (83) - (note: I will miss seeing Willie by a few hours in Belton TX in March business trip - would love to shake this mans hand/bucket list) Mike Oldfield (63) Mick Jagger & Keith Richards (73)..when Keith finally passes away in another 265 years time they will make guitar Zombie movies about him. Nobody reading this will still be alive when Keith dies. Jimmy Page (73) a small list of those legends that are still with us - Now some we have lost recently.... The original Gangsters first with respect - John Lee Hooker (88yo, 2001) & BB King (89yo, 2015) - then a shock, Gary Moore (58yo. 2011) Jimi Hendrix (27yo, 1970)...fame has destroyed many since in the same way. Karen Carpenter (32yo, 1983)...in my opinion the most beautiful voice I have ever heard...just so tragic. For us Aussies - I put this old Gentleman first for obvious reasons - Slim Dusty (76yo, 2003) Bon Scott (33yo, 1980) Greame Strachan (49yo, 2001-Shirl the Curl - Skyhooks) Jon English (66yo, 2016) Doc Neeson (67yo,2014) Ted Mulry (day before his 54th Bday, 2001) Marc Hunter - Dragon (44yo, 1998)...there are many more, these are ones that came to mind for me...
Hank and the Shadows was the best clear cut sound around, groups who used those fuzz box gimmicks distorted their guitars to such a degree you couldn't identify what sort of guitar they were playing, It's amazing how many different sounds Hank could get out of one guitar, and he never made the guitar screech like some groups did to the point where it hurt your ears and you wanted to get away from it. another great guitarist is Mark Pnopfler of Dire Straits fame. You instinctively knew who they were by the sound of their guitars and playing style.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Anderson Finnegan thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Shame the longer Later with Jools interview with Hank and Darrell Higham and Imelda May has not been put on youtube. Darrell was clearly in awe of him. A kid in a sweetshop!
I would'nt put him in the top 10, he's not a Jimi Hendrix,a Stevie Ray Vaughan,a Eric Clapton ,a Slash ,a Eddie Van Halen,a BB king,no where near as good a totally different league, he's ok but not brilliant like these.if your not a guitarist you wouldn't understand , he's ok but very dull and tame
I think it's true to say that without Hank there probably would be no British guitar rock. And The Shadows were enormous - even overshadowing their frontman. The lord of tone.
@@justinthyme3396 : I have followed The Shadows and Hank Marvin from the year dot and just love their music. I live in Australia and would like to know what keeps Hank busy in Perth as I have not seen him on Australian television at all.
'Legend' is pefectly appropriate for Hank. I have a Hank Marvin signature Strat and it's the best guitar that I own. I'm not doing Hank covers or anything, it's just a fantastic guitar.
i think this man is so pure like cliff Richard and both of them stayed away from Drugs thats why they still young, and sorry about alot of superstars, they thought with Drogs can creat music and alot of them deid too young, and im a greatfull of what he did that i learned alot from his music, and by the way if you look at his old videos with Shadows he was almost find him standing at the corner and he was the head and the creater of the Shadow, thats mean he is so pure and so simple man, God bless him.
I recently heard hank list all the various guitars he's played... We all know the strat is his favourite but I've seen photos of the shadows in the 60s playing Burns of London guitars but hank never mentioned the Burns guitar... Which I find odd... . Absolutely icon is hank 👍
The Shadows had a deal with Burns guitars. i saw them twice, and the second time they were playing those black Burns Bisons (as I think they were called). I can't believe Hank preferred a Bison to a Strat, however!
Yeah, I' m passionate about those years in the 60's when the Shads played Burns guitar's. I said then -- & I still say, that the Burns Marvin is a Strat with balls.
I seem to remember that Neil Young was once on Jool's programme and whilst being intereviewed said that rather than watch an old clip of himself (off OGWT or whatever) he wanted to see a clip of The Shadows because he'd never seen them. So they wheeled out that film of them doing Atlantis to the film of FBI or something and we saw an insert of Neil's reaction. It was priceless, Young sat open mouthed and realising something was amiss Holland interupted the clip and Young uttered: ''They did a little dance!'' The audience started to titter, yes it's The Shadows walk....obviously Neil Young didn't know about it or the high kicks etc, he'd expected the rock star thing and Jool's laughed it off. I'd love to see the film of that if it's avilaable.
@@justinthyme3396 it could be, but i still remembre about he talking about the Shadows and how his guitar sound afected him .. read in a interview somewhere..or im nuts
@@theWARMJET I think his guitar sound affected thousands of guitar players, P.S. I've met Hank a few times here in PERTH W Australia a real gentleman....
Every fan says that about every guitar player they like, it’s very subjective, and there’s many things to judge the greatest by, is he the greatest no I don’t think so he’d not even be in my top ten les Paul although I’m not a fan of his personality he has done so much for modern guitars players even Hank with his inventions etc,hanks ok but not the best or even close I think, you feel him that’s awesome whatever u get pleasure from in a world like ours is always a great thing to be treasured.
@@Bhaalian Anybody who inspires through their playing , as many guitarists as Hank has is the best because he did first in this country . IMO he's technically brilliant too , there's a hell of a lot more to Hank than Apache .
Jack Russell of course if u enjoy it and gain pleasure from it it’s great, personally he’s not in my top ten, if u asked him himself who’s the best or who inspired him, I can guarantee he wouldn’t say that he’s is the best,there’s many different genres of guitar playing and many different masters of each type which is best is subjective to your own personal tastes and appreciations and understanding of the style, I’m not saying ur wrong I’m just saying it’s subjective,
@@Bhaalian I don't consider that Hank would say he's the best , he's to much of a gentleman for saying something like that . In the guitar world he is considered the master of what he does and a big inspiration to lots of axemen around the world .
Jack Russell I don’t agree he created a nice sound that’s about it his playing is slow and boring and devoid of any speed and technical ability, there are many far far superior guitarists out there
Hank mentions at the start that the echo is a bit weird tonight. And it is, I assume that that's his amp behind him and it's atypical. It appears to be a Vox something that has been miked up. Could anyone suggest why the sound is as it is? Presumably it would be because of a supply? Technical issue? And relating to the longer session referred to.
Vox AC30's weren't atypical for Hank; he was the guy who helped make it, of course. It looks like Hank's playing a JMI AC30, which is a bit different. This may cause his echo/reverb to sound a little different. Idk
@@tabormorin4526 The JMI badging was the atypical part I meant. I don't know what technical differences there may be between that and a regular AC30 but when I saw them in 2004 only Bruce used his Vox so I assume that the JMI badging had something to do with Hank's use of it subsequently.
A pity longer version of the interview with Daryl Higham is not on TH-cam. Good to see the younger bands hanging on Hank's every word with one sporting. Burns guitar which I bet is now autographed!
stratocaster players usually steer clear of the bridge pickup but Hank practically lives there and makes it work, also that looks like a custom trem arm that has been bent a certain way to suit him, he is also a better guitar player than people think he is, ive seen him go way out his box doing great stuff with his son
El actual extraordinario y maravilloso Hank Marvin me complace sobre manera que nos hayamos hecho juntos viejos, es un honor seguirte viendo Hank Dios te siga conservando, amo tus Fender el saber que tu la tocaste es como un trofeo, tus manos son mágicas.
Influence on hell of a lot guitarist over the years who have listened to him guitarist's have got better players of course still got his own sound but hank was one of them who started people to play wrote some good tunes
I’m not sure you’ll find many better technical guitarists, even now. That’s why the professionals all worship him. His tone and consistency is very hard to replicate
Hank Marvin ! mis respetos !!! Para mi es el guitarrista más influyente de la nueva música surgida a finales de los 50’ y principios de los 60’. Ha inspirado a generaciones y a - “todos, sin excepción” -los grandes guitarristas posteriores. Aparte de que el hombre es todo un caballero, por partida doble. Desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 mi reconocimiento y eterna admiración
With respect guys -every interviewer asks the same questions. It's Shads fans primarily who watch these videos guys - give us NEW news, not once again how a tremolo works. Who is it the interviewers think they are informing - the young girls sitting in the front rows? How bored HBM must be at times ! Still the master though.
Yep agree. Hank has been asked these questions a thousand times but still he is polite and courteous with his answers a true gent. Imagine asking Liam or Noel Gallagher in 30 yrs time when they’ve been asked 1000 times before how did oasis get there sound and how did Noel get into playing guitar. Be a very short answer!!
hes a geordie lad so id love too know what music he grew up with and really got him into the guiter .. Chuck berry maybe coz there werent eny people that played the guiter in Newcastle when he was growing up well not the way he liked it
Hank b Hi my guitar hero Your old mate darby wilson Love to catch up and do some picking. My mob. 0408 262 352. We toured with cliff and the shadows Give bruce my mob Loved my time we spent blowing.with u and the boys Darby wilson.guitar.
The possession/ownership of the original red strat is clearly an issue between these guys. Hank is nice about it, but it’s clear it’s Cliff’s guitar and not Bruce’s.
Funny how Bruce Welsh has Hank’s strat. He’s right - it was actually the first Strat to ever be owned outside of the USA, in fact. I’m surprised he’s so relaxed. It’s probably worth 2 million dollars!
In another interview Hank was asked about his guitars and said that he was terrified that one day he'd die and his wife would sell them all for what he told her he paid for them.
My brother, started playing guitar because of Hank, me too. I'm 70 yes old my brother 73. He is still playing and I'm still singing. Thanks Hank.

Vox AC30's weren't atypical for Hank; he was the guy who helped make it, of course. It looks like Hank's playing a JMI AC30, which is a bit different. This may cause his echo/reverb to sound a little different. Idk
@@tabormorin4526 The JMI badging was the atypical part I meant.
I don't know what technical differences there may be between that and a regular AC30 but when I saw them in 2004 only Bruce used his Vox so I assume that the JMI badging had something to do with Hank's use of it subsequently.
A pity longer version of the interview with Daryl Higham is not on TH-cam. Good to see the younger bands hanging on Hank's every word with one sporting. Burns guitar which I bet is now autographed!
Pass me a sandwich, I'm Hank Marvin
Hank B baby 🇬🇧🎸😎
BRUCE WELCH said HANK was a great player at 16 years of age he was playing notes . . real notes . enough said .
His smile resembles the beauty.
stratocaster players usually steer clear of the bridge pickup but Hank practically lives there and makes it work, also that looks like a custom trem arm that has been bent a certain way to suit him, he is also a better guitar player than people think he is, ive seen him go way out his box doing great stuff with his son
Legend the Real Deal
МАРВИН.Ваша.ГИТТА..БОГГ.
He once said after hearing john and Paul's demo of from me to you they will be a passing phase
El actual extraordinario y maravilloso Hank Marvin me complace sobre manera que nos hayamos hecho juntos viejos, es un honor seguirte viendo Hank Dios te siga conservando, amo tus Fender el saber que tu la tocaste es como un trofeo, tus manos son mágicas.
Legende mit Charme, Charisma und einer unglaublichen Bühnenpräsenz
Beste gitarist aller tijden !!!!!!!
Well........ best or just your favourite?
Mr Hank Marvin the legend what else can I say
Check out some real guitarists
Influence on hell of a lot guitarist over the years who have listened to him guitarist's have got better players of course still got his own sound but hank was one of them who started people to play wrote some good tunes
I’m not sure you’ll find many better technical guitarists, even now. That’s why the professionals all worship him. His tone and consistency is very hard to replicate
I see his daughter Tahlia just to the left behind Jools Holland.
What colour is that stratocaster? Does not look exactly like a fiesta red, this one has more red
I am colour blind between Red, Brown and Green so can not help on this occasion..
@@Isleofskye its okay😀
amazing guitar player!
can someone please tell me what tune starts to play at 00:16
The Young Ones.
Atom K `The Young Ones` Cliff Richard and the Shadows.
He’s a very talented guitarist and a true legend but at his age he’s not kidding anyone with that wig
My parents are convinced that's his, real hair!
Jon Burrows it cant be he is almost 80 and hasn’t even started to go thin lol
@@daz575
Who the hell wants fat hair?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
Jools you are a legend
Enjoyed that but here in London, I have to go because I am really hungry bordering on being famished.
You could say "I'm bleedin' Hank Marvin"...
The Shadows ont toujours été imités mais jamais égalés
Hank Marvin ! mis respetos !!! Para mi es el guitarrista más influyente de la nueva música surgida a finales de los 50’ y principios de los 60’. Ha inspirado a generaciones y a - “todos, sin excepción” -los grandes guitarristas posteriores. Aparte de que el hombre es todo un caballero, por partida doble. Desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 mi reconocimiento y eterna admiración
0:16 title please ??
That's the intro from Cliff Richard's song The Young Ones.
It's a bit upsetting to see Hank here minimised to simply "a sound", plucking a couple of notes.
Shame the longer version with Daryl Higham is not on TH-cam. It was more insightful than this.
With respect guys -every interviewer asks the same questions. It's Shads fans primarily who watch these videos guys - give us NEW news, not once again how a tremolo works. Who is it the interviewers think they are informing - the young girls sitting in the front rows?
How bored HBM must be at times ! Still the master though.
He's not the master, he's not even in the top ten, he's ok but not brilliant
Yep agree. Hank has been asked these questions a thousand times but still he is polite and courteous with his answers a true gent. Imagine asking Liam or Noel Gallagher in 30 yrs time when they’ve been asked 1000 times before how did oasis get there sound and how did Noel get into playing guitar. Be a very short answer!!
hes a geordie lad so id love too know what music he grew up with and really got him into the guiter .. Chuck berry maybe coz there werent eny people that played the guiter in Newcastle when he was growing up well not the way he liked it

Don't you mean Bruce Springsteen....
@@justinthyme3396 No . Hank is the BOSS of clean playing !
Wspaniały gitarzysta,szkoda że Shadows już nie grają.
Unique is the word.
The possession/ownership of the original red strat is clearly an issue between these guys. Hank is nice about it, but it’s clear it’s Cliff’s guitar and not Bruce’s.
Funny how Bruce Welsh has Hank’s strat. He’s right - it was actually the first Strat to ever be owned outside of the USA, in fact. I’m surprised he’s so relaxed. It’s probably worth 2 million dollars!
In another interview Hank was asked about his guitars and said that he was terrified that one day he'd die and his wife would sell them all for what he told her he paid for them.
I wonder if he ever though his name would be used to mean hungry.
I remember Kellogs Corn Flakes holding a competition for one of those guitars..I didn`t win one though.
Doesnt seem his age. Aged well
That's because he Leeds a good clean lifestyle
¿alguien me puede decir como se llama la canción que esta antes de “Telestar"
