If there was justice in the world, Duane Eddy would be playing at venues like Madison Square Garden and L.A. Forum instead of holes in the walls like this one.
May 26,2023 Remember first hearing his amazing playing back in 1961 Rebel Rouser as an oldie on 1050 Chum Toronto and then was blown away by his Peter Gunn. Like the killer Jerry Lee one of a kind and so glad at 75 to see he still appreciated. Twang man. Rock on and on.
This guy was my guitar hero at age 12, maybe around 1959. Peter Gunn was a bad ass tune. I had it on his album, I think titled Especially For You. My granny had this "new age" stereo phono system and she'd let me visit to play this album. I'd sit there for an hour and dig it all, especially bad ass Peter Gunn theme. Combat in Vietnam tried to take that away, but it's still bitchin' to revisit today. Thank God for Duane Eddy. RS the Vet.
First thing I learned to play on guitar, 13 years old, 1960. It was that sound! Of course, I had no idea what made that sound, especially the Bigsby whammy bar. But that, Honky Tonk (Bill Doggett) and Link Wray, Rumble got me started down the rock path. Or, “Hell,” as my father called it. No prob, dad. Still doin’ it 63 years later.
Exactly sixty years ago today on October 29th, 1960 the 'Dick Clark Caravan of Stars' played the Memorial Auditorium in Utica, New York... Duane Eddy was one of the acts* to appear, at the time his covered version of "Peter Gunn" was at position #41 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, three weeks later it would peak at #27 {for 1 week}, and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100... Between 1958 and 1986 the Corning, NY native had twenty-eight records on the Top 100 chart, three made the Top 10, "Rebel-'Rouser" {#6 in 1958}, "Forty Miles of Bad Road" {#9 in 1959}, and "Because They're Young" {#4 in 1960}... His last charted record was a re-mix of his "Peter Gunn" with the British trio, the Art of Noise, it peaked at #50 in 1986 on the Top 100 {reached #8 in the U.K.}... Duane Eddy will celebrate his 83rd birthday in six months on April 26th, 2021... * Some of the other acts on the bill were Fabian, Brenda Lee, Chubby Checker, Freddy Cannon, Jimmy Clanton, and Jimmy Charles...
I love his guitar and the whammy bar reminds me of a gear shifter. I remember a time in the 70 when it wasn't cool to have a whammy bar. Was it because it was redundant? Because you can almost get the same sound putting pressure on the neck and body!
Who could dislike this smh probably people who came on accident, idiots, don't realize Metallica Black Sabbath led Zeppelin Cream Aerosmith the Beatles Rolling Stones the Kinks Jimi Hendrix ect all carried on the torch that Dwane, Link Wray Ike Turner Chuck Berry Les Paul lit, without them rock would not be what it is today! I don't really like metal, but anyone who does would be hard pressed not to see how people like Dwane influenced shredding especially Les Paul, if you don't believe me take a listen to his music the influence is uncanny IMO cheers, John
Yep. I emailed him several years ago to ask who played the sax on Peter Gunn. He replied with a complete list of all of them on all his singles! He didn't have to do that. A true gent and a mighty artist.
My favourite of all those players that came out of the 50's The way he hasn't moved on to fender and the way he uses the talent arm with his left hand.
I think if you do a bit of research you'l find that he started with Fenders. I no longer have my DE vinyl collection but I have a clear recollection of the guitars on his definitive stuff in the early 60s being labelled as on Fenders and Fender basses.
Back in the late50sin the UK when I was at school rebal rouser and later becouse there young and Shazam ring of fire, oh could go on and l am 73 now and you are still great take care Duane Thanks for the memoirs
I'm sorry, I just don't get the infatuation with Duane Eddy. I have students who could do what he did after just two (2) lessons. I must be missing something....,i
You are missing something critical. And ... you need to learn it before you teach another kid. Feel. Pocket. The guitar becomes a human voice and reaches into the emotion. We play notes from our frontal (temporal) lobe of the brain, but people EXPERIENCE music from the lower brain stem. Primal. Duane moves millions because he knows how to play with tempo in a way that lights up the brains of most humans. Stop thinking. Start feeling the time. Then teach that.
Yes! Joe dumb public don't understand virtuoso! They only want simple and this has a good memorable beat! Status Quo three easy chords took them a long long way!!!
You are. As they say " More isn't always better, sometimes it's just more". I listen to some fabulous musicians play a LOT of notes on a solo today, but when it's over it made no sense. A solo needs to transition from the song to the solo. An entrance, theme, possible variations on the theme and a nice exit back to the song. NOT just as many notes as you can fit in the time allowed. If what you said is memorable you've done a good job. BB King could take one note, bend it add vibrato and when that one note stops sounding, have you know everything he had to say. In case you weren't aware; George Harrison thought enough of Eddie to have him play the solo on "Something" (which George wrote and produced), since he was a bit tied up producing when it was recorded. I don't know if it was planned or if Duane just happened to be there on recording day, but George could have just overdubbed the solo if he wanted to, but chose Duane to play. He was one of the masters of the fewest notes saying the most. I've played a little and taught a few and my highest compliment to some one has always been "You've got touch".
Loved the original 60s track. I learned that solo. Sounded great with four mics and two sound systems. One night the plaster fell off the ceiling. Always got good applause. LoL

I spent my teenage years listening to Mr. Eddy and others of the era; '50s, and '60s. RIP Duane.

There is no justice in the world because God has such a wry sense of humor.
This place isn't a club, it's a press conference/guitar brand honor.
One of my all time favorite instrumentals.....RIP Duane Eddy .........Godspeed
Duane Eddy is quietly among the very best guitarists in the history of rock and roll.
Peter Gunn theme. I am quite sure Mr. Mancini would be pleased and appreciative. I teared up. Made me proud of my short barreled .38 Special.

RIP Duane Eddy. Thank you for all the great music!
Duane is one of the greatest guitarists of our time and still doing it we love his music.
He made some really good twangy riffs to accompany his lead sax players.
Rip Duane. You’ll always be remembered.

Great guitar player loved him & my father got me into all his music and others like him & were still kicking arse
There are songs and then there are Duane Eddy Songs, Its that simple.
Great to see him again and hear him again. Thanks, Mike.
When I was a kid, this was a radio hit along with being the theme song for the tv show😎
have always loved him playing this
How can’t you not love this man real rock n roll he’ll be twanging all the way to heaven go Duane
Dwane Eddy and the rebels have some really good music! Especially for you, and twangs the thang are both groundbreaking albums!!
He'll be twang in all the way to Heaven and throughout all eternity.
I would love to see Duane get teamed up with saxophonist Richard Elliot to cover his songs.
First thing I learned to play on guitar, 13 years old, 1960. It was that sound! Of course, I had no idea what made that

Beautiful guitar, an iconic piece of Mancini's as played by yet another icon. You were a great one sir.
Love this song my dad loved this song

Beautiful guitars 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️
The man knows his way around a guitar.

👏🏾😎👑🎷 In the heaven of great guitar players and rock n rollers.
If I could make a list of top musicians for a heavenly concert Duane would be up there.
Great music just cant get enough of it

Loved the Dwayne Eddy sound. Not a whole lot of notes in the Peter Gunn theme but didn’t seem to care back in the day.
Great backing for a roaring, wailing tenor sax solo.
What a down to earth genuine. rock n roll star straight up
Yep. I emailed him several years ago to ask who played the sax on Peter Gunn. He replied with a complete list of all of them on all his singles! He didn't have to do that. A true gent and a mighty artist.
Awesome, the great Duane Eddy and Jet!
Song starts at 2:34
My favourite of all those players that came out of the 50's
The way he hasn't moved on to fender and the way he uses the talent arm with his left hand.

Rest in Peace 🎸🎸

Someone is off. I think the Sax
I'm sorry, I just don't get the infatuation with Duane Eddy. I have students who could do what he did after just two (2) lessons. I must be missing something....,i
Duane did it before anyone else.......that’s why...... I guess

Duane's guitar is turned up too loud!
It should be louder because I can still hear that horrible sax!
Duane is great like usual. The sax player is horrible.
yes he is
The guitar is drowning the sax out but that’s a good thing. 😂
Loved the original 60s track. I learned that solo. Sounded great with four mics and two sound systems. One night the plaster fell off the ceiling. Always got good applause. LoL
@@randyw.9916 you're rigth .
He just doesn't look right without the orange Gretsch.
The Twangs the Thang...
His Guitar has to have almost NO intonation!
I was looking at that crazy bridge setup!
Since he rarely goes over 6th fret it’s still in tune enought.
wansee entertainment
In a class by himself
