I am in my eighties and listening to most of his music now and enjoying when we went dancing me and my late hubby hope he keeps playing up there RIP DUANE YOU WERE ONE OF THE GREATEST
Duane Eddy and His Twangy Guitar was a big influence on me as kid. I had never really heard anyone play solo guitar before. Later I discovered the great Chet Atkins.
I liked that it was really easy and even though I was a beginner in the late fifties, I could play a lot of his stuff. He left all the improvising to the sax player.
Even though most of my generation grew up listening to today's music im so glad i grew up knowing who duane eddy, chet akins and other guitarists are from this era thanks momma.
Just as there was only one Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Lenny Breau there is just one Duane Eddy. Been a fan since about '58 and the records he recorded back then sound just as exciting today as when I first heard them.
Thanks Duane Eddy, Ventures, Chet Atkins and all the others that inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn to play it. Love these older pickers!! (SP edit)

Love that sax! That became my instrument in high school on a borrowed sax. Wish my folks had let me buy one. My mother was a singer and they just didn't want one in the family. My brother Ed became a singer/songwriter in New England when he ran away from home. He plays five instruments. I guess it runs in the family - much to my mother's objections.
I have always been a fan of Duane Eddy. Her music was very big nationwide in the early 1960's. He lives just North of Loser City Tucson in Winner town of Oro Valley which has laws that are enforced which don't exist in Loser City Tucson.
Did anybody up here at Stan Getz this guy is just as good like Stan Getz and that whole thing was really really good why not he was my favorite and learned a lot with my guitar to
Someone mentioned him playing a Gretsch 6120 here....NOPE its a Guild and I'm gonna find me one. A 63 guild starfire III was my first real guitar but it sure didnt sound like this!!! I was gonna buy a Gretsch for the twangy sound but now I want a guitar with this TONE from heaven. Also have a Fender amp Vibroverb 1964 with a 15" JBL D 130 F D is for Dick Dale so well see if I can find one of these AMAZING sounding guitars! and make some growling sounds like this. WOW
Love Duane Eddy and that Gretsch 6120, the only thing I wasn't that keen on was the sax and 'yeehaas' on most of his instrumentals. Maybe one or two but not all the recordings. The Shads, Spotnicks, Ventures didn't need it. Just the electric twang... that's the thang!
YES and no melody at all !!!! plus noting sticks to your memory of like yesteryear there is a hand full like Swift Taylor and 3 or 4 others know about melody You have a very nice day and take care..
xrayit That makes no sense. If he is endorsing Gretsch, he would be required to appear, or be photographed with no other brand of guitar. But my comment refers to back in the 60's and 70's. I would always see him with a Guild.
Duane Started out with a Gretsch. Traded a Kay and $75 for it . I think he got the better end of the deal. Still plays the Gretsch as well as the Guild. I think the Guild is a Manhattan X175.
Certainly the two timbres of the two guitars (GRETSCH and GUILD) are similar, although the GUILD is preferred for live performances. Congratulations and greetings from Italy th-cam.com/video/iIv2fmK0Av4/w-d-xo.html PIPELINE (Gretsch & Guild - Surf Guitars)
@@evaengel6299 Thanks for the kind words Eva - In the late 50's I had a (dear) friend who always snook into our local store before me to buy anything of Duane's that ha been released... I used to be upset - but we became great friends because of our mutual love of his music. I always thought that Peter Gunn was his best - universal music. Love etc
Don't know how that response is connected with my not liking too much of the sax and background yelling on Duane Eddy's hits. Shads, Ventures and Spotnicks all had reasonable hits. Maybe the producers on Duane's records decided they might sound better with the additions to just the electric guitar, which is, after all, they main attraction of Duane's recordings.
ROCKINGMAN...Shadows...REASONABLE HITS?!...Best-seling Instrumental GROUP..[NOT BAND!!]..in the world! I agree with your sentiment about too much Sax,and not enough Axe! I still have all my old Duane Eddy records on Shellac [78's],and on vinyl 45's,I love them all,but still think Duane got paid for doing very little! Not being derogatory,just painfully admitting to myself the plain truth! I learned to play them quick and easy,when I was 15yrs-on as they were being released,with the exception of Shazaam!..that still is a bit of a finger-wrencher for me now,at 75 yrs of age! Most tracks are one-liners,with key-changes,and loads of Sax and Orchestra..and very little input from Duane. Still love him though..it's that TWANG!...gets to you
@@highpitwilma I too thought Shazam was a little more complicated than Duane's regular hits, Shads did a good version too. Still, despite uncomplicated guitar parts from Duane's records, he has his own very likable style. Lucky for him, I guess, to get many hits with less of an input than many other twang guitarists.
You act like those instruments were playing for so long you couldnt deal with it, well it wasnt bad at all they were short solos and this is a good song. Obviously you dont know his music or you wouldnt of clicked on this song, then complained about hearing other instuments in the song. I like his song "freight train" but even that has some sax in it.
I am in my eighties and listening to most of his music now and enjoying when we went dancing me and my late hubby hope he keeps playing up there RIP DUANE YOU WERE ONE OF THE GREATEST
I am in my seventies and remember him from the time I first listened to music. Always loved the sax work on his records, too.
James Dean: Same here! Wore out two 45's!
@@katherinea.rodgers8366 -My favorite song by him has always been KOMOTION
@@Jamesdylandean Cool! I will check that out. I'm sure I've heard it, but I just don't recall.
@@katherinea.rodgers8366 You might try out Theme from Moon Children, also.
@@Jamesdylandean Thanks.
Always loved this song.❤
Grande Duane! Sempre será lembrado por seu enorme talento e por sua grande obra!
Um dos maiores certamente!
De um fã aqui do Brasil.
Thank you You tube, finally meet the Great Duzne Eddy after listen his music more than half century. Thanks again. ❤❤❤❤

Greatest solo guitarist ever. and wow, where did he find that sax player ? As one of his LPs said "The Twang's The Thang..."

Great version of Detour
Once a DJ - always DJing - L O L I love this guy not just because I was born in the same year in the same NY county. L A L -
There IS (stress IS) A strong message (this song wirh lyrics), Believe!!!
Yes on that have a great day
True. For those who will receive it, it's basically a musical sermon. We used to have a lot of songs like that on the radio. Not any more.
Muddy road ahead, detour, Wish I had-a read that detour sign.

Added a bit of civic rivalry, did you?

He’s great on a guitar
@@nickgdefrancesco4080 Yeah.
😆🤣👍 grew up with this !
Sounds good Geoff , one of the shads oldies.
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead. Dino has a great recording of this song.

Thank You For The Beauty And The Guitar Is The Best. From Vince Boes.
Another legend
From an episode of "American Music Shop".
THAT WERE A DAMN GOODUN - BRAVO!
Who is playing the saxophone here?
Super
❤
Great music

The Shads, Spotnicks, Ventures combined didn't have as many hit records.
The Shads, Spotnicks, Ventures combined didn't have as many hit records.
Agree...get rid of the sax on all the numbers. Too much Benny Hill🙂
His sax player really loves Yakety Sax
Who is the saxophone player?
Hard act to follow
duane eddy Detour
They just do not make music like this any more
YES and no melody at all !!!! plus noting sticks to your memory of like yesteryear there is a hand full like Swift Taylor and 3 or 4 others know about melody You have a very nice day and take care..
haven't compared the two but i will now. Did cash get the strum idea from eddy or did eddy get it from cash. hmmmmm
Does anyone know who is playing the slide? It looks like a young Jerry Douglas to me but I'm not positive.
Yes, It's Jerry Douglas.
Also Boots Randolph on sax and Mark O'Connor on violin.
That's more like it. I always remember Duane Eddy playing a Guild guitar, not a Gretsch.
only on live shows. Duane always uses his Gretsch for recording.

I can just picture myself, in something pouring out, thick black smoke. Rolling down the highway...
Duane Eddy - Top Dude came up with groundbreaking stuff
The great guitarman.🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶💪💪💪😘😘😘

I m,looking for a Video where his son sings.😍😍🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸💪💪
Is that boots Randolph ?
Denis Solee is playing sax.
I actually think, I grew up in the wrong generation, i need' t be my father!!
Carl Perkins may be the King of Rockabilly, but Duane Eddy is the Picasso.
Chi è il sassofonista ?
A bit different from the original.
Jackie Kelso played a lot of those parts.

ασυληπτο!!!
I didn't click on this site to hear sax, fiddle, and pedal steel, I only wanted to hear Duane. Poor choice of song.
You act like those instruments were playing for so long you couldnt deal with it, well it wasnt bad at all they were short solos and this is a good song.
