Wasn't Gary Taylor a member of 60s band The Herd? BTW, some great info in this clip. Thanks for the upload, spike2812

@annie482000

Hi Annie

Yes Gary Taylor was a member of The Herd. Also he played with the Hank Wangford band and was involved in Baker Street with Gerry Rafferty.

Thanks for dropping in

Spike

@spike2812 Thanks spike. I believe he was also part of Noosha Fox's band too but can't be sure.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Nice to hear from you too Abel.

hankpb: using 13 -56 strings was mentioned in the video. The video wasnt designed to include all the gear Hank used over time...just items relating to a particular sound

[abelkhin]

Superb discussion, it says it all.

Looking forward to listening to the tunes.

Bravo Spiro and the team for putting this together,

Abel

u didnt mention hanks string 13 - 56 with wound 26 on the 3rd string, also didnt mention vox ac 30 T boost electrics by jennings, and the jennings j40 and rotary cab, and the baby binson, and echoplex

[spike2812]

The gear that made the early sound was more attributed the Meazzi as opposed to the Binson, etc.. which had different preamps & produced different sounds

[jastreet0123]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for putting together this great video and for the insights into the many different elements that combine to make 'that sound'. I'm sure it will be an extremely valuable resource for all of us who are trying to emulate the sounds of The Shadows in the early 1960's. As a TVS3 owner, I know I have the magic box that represents a big part of the equation. Well done!

All the best, James

Hi Guys

Thanks for taking so much time to explain why we mere mortals cant get That Sound I could spend my entire life chasing the sound and never acheive it

The Genius of Paul and the dedication to the cause of tracking the Holy Grail is amazing Thanks again guys ps If a TVS3 is going to fall off the back of a truck I hope it falls off at my place

Cheers John44

A very interesting and entertaining dialogue on one of the world's unsolved mysteries, The Story of That Sound. I hear your reasoning on equipment, technique and setup that is very valuable to me in my guitar playing.

So I am already looking forward next clip from you guys.

And I'm probably not alone, there is a great and genuine interest in Scandinavia for sixty's music, Hank B Marvin and The Shadows in particular.

Best regards from Stockholm

Thanks everyone for your comments.

We have received heaps of emails in only 4 hours since posting so it seems everyone is happy to hear our story :)

Part 2 will be a demonstration video that with the right equipment and technique, THAT SOUND can be achieved.

Cheers

Spike

[s4wgb]

Thank you very much TVS team.Very well explained.BRILLIANT.

Look forward to part 2.will this more of a demo video?

Keep up the great work.

[guitarmagiclive]

Well done, its good to have guys like you around, well put together.

PS does drinking red wine make THAT SOUND, sound better, I think Gert and I will experiment.

[spike2812]

@guitarmagiclive

Yes...Red wine makes THAT SOUND...please dont let out the secret :) :)

Nice hearing from you. Regards to Gert!

[Padmat78]

This is the MUST!

My daughter Matilda uses this wonderful engine.

[spike2812]

@Padmat78

Hi Pierre

Please pass on my regards to Matilda. Also Video 3 is out now!

Cheers

Spike

[MrPeteheer]

Thanks guys. That was an excellent analysis. I always had the question in the back of my mind about trying to get that sound as you know Hank Marvin, ie "Just ask Hank how he did it". I understand now that maybe he is not too sure himself now.

I am using a Vox AC15 with the Celestion greenback and have a question on the relative volume levels on the top boost and master channels but I will contact you via email.

Thanks
