The thing is that, with ALL respect to the amazing players we all know, Hank's choices of sounds and songs leave ZERO room for error. Same would go for David Gilmour...
its sad and I hope im wrong, but this sort of talent may go sideways, there is so much technology the youngsters can rely on nowadays, hank and many more of the great musicians, started out with very basic instruments, personal opinion, but for me the greatest of them all, he can make a guitar speak long may you keep playing, god bless
Dead right Wayne,I think Hanks brilliant. Mind you there are a lot of very god layers on you tube that nobody's really heard of check them out, you'll be amazed.
I agree with you I’m 28 I didn’t grow up listening to Hank I liked Metallica and all of that stuff when I first started playing guitar I was learning the heavy stuff because I thought it was cool..... then while I was living at my nan and grandads I heard bbc radio Norfolk rock and roll show on Saturdays and I heard apache for the first time well I picked up my guitar didn’t know much learnt it and loved my Nan the showed me more from the shadows and I continued I was 18 at the time, to this day I still play the shadows or hanks solo stuff the way he makes the guitar talk is beautiful. I don’t have expensive gear but what I have sounds close enough to him so yeah I agree with you’re comment 100%
I completely agree today's singers and musicians are helped by today's technology when hank started out it was pure raw talent sadly not anymore and none of today's musicians are in his class
Definitely the best guitarist in the world he makes his guitar speak to me what an amazing talent gives me goosebumps listening to him play especially this beautiful song
Total agree The best I followed his career since the late 1950s together with Brian Bruce jet Tony John Licorice they were the very best of British Music Thanks Guys
Anybody can play this tune, but hey not like Hank, his feeling expressed expressed on every note, each note and intonation is purposely played, he still plays Apache with the same emotion, this guy is my all time favourite guitarist

A fiatal korom legszebb zenéje amit most is szívesen hallgatok hisz nagy gitár virtuóz volt Hank Marvin . Ha ezte a zenét hallgatom miníg fiatalodok egy kicsit !
Did you notice that his one knee is bent? That's because he's stepping on a volume pedal. And of course you noticed his use of the echo and of course you noticed his whammy bar. And of course you've noticed that the occasional stupid person comments that his playing is "easy." Well, to me he doesn't just play the guitar -- he sings the guitar.
You hank are the best the every bands of music's years 60/70 like you am Isaías 43/10 to be continue a to talk about the glorious creator Jeová ..hebreus 6/10 de Portugal Sintra João maced
A sad song written about the activist wife of a Nazi snuggling dictator, who died of the same disease I have. Cancer. In her case cervical (that also killed my partner Sasha) in my case breast/skin.
I have listened to Hank Marvin since he was on stage. He has talent but I feel the "hawaiian twang" style didnt fully capture or fully express his true talent. He did some very good melodic solos and i would have loved it if did a few different syles. However, still one of the more gifted musicians for sure.
I am a very stout fan of Nokie edwards from the Ventures and have on occasion watched Hank as he comes up when i search on you tube for Nokie--I gotta tell ya after seeing a few performances such as this one--I am also becoming a fan of his as well--simply astounding !--thanx for posting
wonderful music for the best guitarristin of world congratulations marvin i like very much your music , and you to venerate the some GOD THAN I ( SALMOS 97.9 ) DE PORTUGAL SINTRA JOAOMACEDO
