Dam! this dude is still with us and looks great!. My sisters bought his records back in the fifties and I listened to him as a little boy and loved it. Great memories from this guy - so glad to see him still playing

@georgemoomaw9437 6 лет назад

As a kid, Because They’re Young, 40 Miles of Bad Road and Rebel Rouser were among the greatest music on the radio. Today, I’m a little older kid (as my grandchildren will attest) and this same music is among the greatest music on my iPod. You will never know the impact you have had on millions of us. Thanks Duane.

@Redmenace96 4 года назад

Thank you, Gretsch! One of the best sit-down and talk sessions I've ever seen. omg Eddy is great! Lucid and gracious. Legend.

The guy who told Duane "you'll never work in this town again" was the son of the Coolidge Mayor. I told my Dad this story before he passed a few years ago, who used to have Duane in a Coolidge High School class. Dad said, sounds like something the Mayor's son would say (Ben Arnold Jr.)... he said he (the Mayor's son) was a real "jackass"

Duane graciously gave of his time to interview him for my book THE PHOENIX SOUND of which he was a BIG part of. A big thrill for me was one Saturday morning about 3 years ago he called me up at home and we had a nice hour long chat about his career and the music business. He still lives in Nashville today and occasionally does some concerts. Last summer he played the London Palladium as he is still BIG IN THE U.K....

@Jamesdylandean 4 года назад

Mr. Eddy, I grew up with your music and I loved the fact that you kept it simple and rhythmic. I have often said that if a person wants to know what rock-n-roll is play Komotion by you and Tall Cool Woman in a Black Dress by the Hollies. Among the best recordings ever.

@vintagebrew1057 4 года назад

Duanne was one of the last people to spend some time with Eddie Cochran in England before Ed was killed in the car crash. Imagine the mutual appreciation jam session between those two greats!

@ 12 my Aunt bought me Twangin in the Gold back in 64. It was my first album and a major influence on my playing. I began playing in 1966 Mostly Rock and Blues. But Raunchy was always on the set list in the 1960's along with the Ventures, Beatles Stones and Hendrix. Anyhow Thanks Duane! You'll always be the man!

@davecroston2914 7 лет назад

In 1965, I was 12 years old & was already convinced that I wanted to be a REAL guitar player. On my birthday Dec 24th, my favorite ( and most influential) birthday present was the album "Duane Eddy Twangin' The Golden Oldies. The cover shows him posing with his Guild D-500 signature model guitar --A natural finish single cutaway hollow body guitar with a Gibson style headstock & a gold Bigsby tailpiece--The epitomy of COOL in those days. Rebel Rouser was the first song I learned to play on guitar....I'm not sure of the chronology of Duane Eddy's association with both Guild & Gretsch, but I still own & use Guild & Gretschs to this day..

@Condor512 5 лет назад

This Man is WHY I play guitar today. The 1st time I heard one of hi 'Twangy' songs on the car radio, sometime in the late 1950's, I said to myself - 'I WANT TO DO THAT!'

@65marlin327 5 лет назад

The first album I ever bought was "Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel". I met Duane in Burlington, Vermont in the mid 60's. I recall he had a new Lincoln Continental, and the day after his concert I'm sure I saw him passing through Burlington, again. There weren't that many white Lincoln's in Burlington, or Vermont for that matter. ALWAYS one of my very favorite recording artists, I loved everything Duane did. "Boss Guitar" was, I think, his first release on RCA. "Because They're Young" was one of the earliest rock and roll songs to use that orchestra he mentioned here. I heard/read he had moved to Europe. But, I continued to see Lee Hazlewood's name on other recordings, like "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and "Summer Wine" by Nancy Sinatra. I always thought Lee and Duane were inseparable. Thank you, Duane, for this posting on RU-vid.

I started playing in 1961 at age 11 and I can remember after learning some basics that a couple of the first songs I tried to figure out was Boss Guitar by Duane Eddy, and Walk Don't Run by the Ventures. Kept me occupied for quite awhile. Rebel Rouser was one I tried later but frustrated me when it modulated and kept changing key....

someone asked recently what was the first record you ever bought? mine was Pepe, I loved it so much that I proudly took it to school and my teacher played it to the music class on her Dansette record player (which of course was all valve/tube/lampe technology), I remember blushing in that company at the raunchy sax solo, this was 1960/61 and I was 12 years old and the world was different then, but nowadays I try to play guitar just like that sax. I'll never be able to emulate the subtle touch of this gentleman ...

Just Awesome, what a gentleman, wish I had been into country music as a teen, but in London it was Beatles and Stones ( which aint bad) and the Shadows were the main guitar group, but being a young twat I didn't realize that Hank B Marvin was just channeling Mr. Eddy

@motorvating 9 лет назад

Duane didn't play country music professionally in the 1950's, however his informative years learning the trade was playing country. The Beatles and Stones didn't exist when he started releasing material. He was a Rock n Roll star playing the instrumental offshoot of Rock n Roll that would develop into Surf Music. The shadows was mirroring the Surf scene that had exploded on the west coast of the states, sure Duane must had a big influence, but it was the surf scene they were into, and they were labelled as surf when their material was released in the states. The 1950's threw up a lot of instro bands that would later become surf. Check The Rockbuster tune, Tough Chick, and Link Wray , Rumble to see the sort of things that was going on in the late 50's that influenced the shadows.

@timothybedwards5440 5 лет назад

@JackTheSkunk 4 года назад

My original guitar hero in 1958 prior to discovering Chet Atkins a couple of years later and then of course Jerry Reed. Duane got a fabulous recorded sound even in the late 50's. In other interviews Duane said he took "a few" lessons from jazz guitarist Jimmy Wyble. I think if Duane hadn't met Lee Hazlewood, who was instrumental (sorry), in molding Duane's sound, song writing and career, he may have languished in Phoenix playing in country bands instead of becoming an international recording star and "teen idol". Duane is, in my humble little opinion a true guitar legend.

Saw Duane Live last year.Absolutely top show and he signed my album after the show.Really nice genuine guy. Would definately go and see him again. Don't understand why he calls Instrumentals songs though ? Surely a song has a vocalist and words unless it's a reference to Mendelsohn's 'Songs Without Words' which I suppose could apply to his lyrical melodies.

I played that thing until not just my parents, but the neighbors, hated it too. Didn't like Segovia THEN, just TOO Many notes to try and figure out ( That was 60 years ago, and I'm still tryin" ). Hope he's still "tickin'".

Take aways, 1. Do what you love. 2. Have integrity. 3. Associate with like minded people. 4. Thank your parents who supported you. 5. Your musical journey is not necessarily tied to where you come from. 6. You don't have to play so many notes if you allow each note to speak. 7. Gretch makes a fine instrument.
