Hank Marvin - Sleepwalk

[ChristianFS1]

thumbs up if you think the rhythm guitars tone is better :)

[MightGetLucky]

1:33 I hate when that happens x)

[CedricBultez]

best version of sleepwalk on earth

[asgaard636]

Beautiful artistry by a true master!

[lehrgangswerk]

Better name the tune sleep pill ... lol

[fguka]

what a master

[alekx1956]

Отличное звучание настоящей гитары, без всяких примочек!

[explorateurdesairs]

A real Maestro and virtuoso

[jujucaster]

am I supposed to be impressed?

[crowhaven200]

@jujucaster no you are just supposed to be a fool.

[ScrumptiousStrat]

@jujucaster. If you knew anything about playing the guitar you would be!!!!

[jujucaster]

@ScrumptiousStrat you're right dude, it's probably because I dunno anything about playing the guitar ;)

[ScrumptiousStrat]

@jujucaster. Hi guy; don't worry about it! I only wish I could play like Hank - of his genre he is the best in the world - but don't let that persuade you that he is the best! There are so many genres of music and every genre has it's key exponents. Everybody will tell you that Jimi Hendrix was the world's greatest guitarist! Yes, BUT in his particular genre. Did you ever hear Jimi playing country & western; or shredding; or heavy metal - NO!! Each to his own and we shoiuld all realise that!!

[DrWiktorTraktor]

@usiaka1 co, Danuśko, też lubisz The Shadows i grę Marvina???

[lesterdmolester]

it's from the movie sleepwalkers about a mother and son who turns into a cat.

[dougiscool77]

this song somewhat reminds me of joe satriani's always with me, always with you.

[TJMcMillanMusic]

I love how he gets all the treble with none of the edge using that bridge pickup, his sound is phenomenal.

[TheMarty1234567]

my mom says this always made her cry.

[ChrisYonts]

What's this? WANK Marvin?

[akatsukiamp]

whenever i see a red/black strat with a white pickguard, i'm reminded of low quality knockoffs.

[Tryggvi55]

Soft, sweet and beautiful playing! 

[sniperfxxx]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! WOOOOOW!!!!

[WetaGuy]

My favorite will always be Stray Cats cover, but it's hard not to love every version, especially Hank's.

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

@WetaGuy: If you like the remakes, why not seek out the original Santo and Johnny version from the 1950s, which is tough to surpass even today. Arlen Roth did a very nice version of the song a few years back, too. Santo and Johnny played steel guitars, not standard electrics.

[terryorr]

This is a great Santo and Johnny song from an era before listeners all developed attention deficit syndrome. People just chillaxed and enjoyed the music. Sometimes less is more. Or as George Harrison said, It's just as important to know when not to play during a song.

[Neuguy69]

Really? With your legs crossed?

[andrewofaiur]

@Neuguy69 like a boss

[tommadeska13]

Not bad playing, but really it's a  weak tone. Could just be my speakers though

[2SugarsPleeze]

Even though Hank is only demonstrating an old tune, he still plays with passion and feeling! . . That's CLASS.

[MrTommyemmanuel]

first of all, it appeared in a Movie called La Bamba, then a Stephen King movie, then maybe the 12 monkeys movie.

[dfarmbrough]

I miss Bruce's rhythm guitar. You can tell!

[jaystrings]

Thanks for posting this. Awesome!!

[Neograph1]

3 Peoples doesn't listen with they heart

[dorsetsmartarse1]

BRIAN SETZER made this tune so much more full of life !!

[Silvagomesful]

Beautiful Thank You 

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

THIS IS PRETTY WEAK SO X-CUSE ME WHILE I GO TAKE A LEAK.

[PaulJ010]

It doesn't get much better than this

[GuitarsAmSuck]

oh man, that sound

[MrELVIS2]

Hi,Super super,pozdrawiam :):)

[magmajet]

eeeeesh ...what a bore , he doesnt play the hell out anything he just puts everyone to sleep with this boring version of a lovely song.....gatton tears the ass out this song!!!!

[thepricekingsdotcom]

@magmajet the name of the song is called "Sleepwalk"...what did you expect?

[TheMG63]

@magmajet Try listening to the original 1959 version by Santo and Johnny. Their version doesn't 'tear the ass out it it' either. So what? Those versions of the instrumental that do tear the ass out of it end up ruining the whole atmosphere of it. Danny Gatton and Brian Setzer have both done 'tear ass' versions of it, yet they're not a patch on the original Santo and Johnny version (and they wrote it). The whole simplicity and atmosphere is lost.

[kevin39632]

i allways thought this song came from the movie sleepwalker(s) i admit i could be wrong,not as young as i was a lot of beer has flowed over the old brain since.

[jimbobmarley1]

Originally used in the movie about Richie Valence

[TheMG63]

@jimbobmarley1 Actually it was originally a 1959 hit for Santo and Johnny (who also wrote it), so it's been around somewhat longer than 'La Bamba', the film about Ritchie Valens (not Valence).

[synesthesia67]

I wish he'd just say shit instead of you know what.,..lol

[Geddz0]

This song is so beautiful

and I learned just now but this file is that Hank B Marving

[538921]

Terrific guitarist. What more can I say.

[falconoilcompany]

theres no doubt about it Hank and the Shads were great

[gurthknuckle]

all the notes you need

[xxtaffstarxx]

was a movie called Sleepwalkers by Steven King.

[60koky]

sleepwalk was the first song I learned in my first electric guitar in 1.963.

"Sonámbulo" una de las primeras canciones que aprendí en mi primera guitarra eléctrica allá por 1.963. For ever "The Shadows".

[oldfart4751]

Grew up Listening to Hank and the Shadows, had all the albums they produced. Moved on to Mark Knopfler then Stevie Ray Vaughan, all different in styles but all great!

[ShadowMan7030]

Hank Marvin has a brilliant simplicity and a great technique, what a wonderfull era to have grown up in

[sin1949]

Great one and only - Hank B. Marvin

[kleinebudde]

Incredible tremolo skill. It is so hard for me to play with tremolo in my hand all the time :/.

[TheMikey1013]

That is one of the best solo's on a guitar. it gives me chills every time.

[nonogag]

Ouah cool , seems not difficult to play !

[OnlyTruthMakesFree]

Very impressive, thank you :-)

"Apache" or "Wonderful Land" I like very much!

[button1943]

i used to play rhythm guitar to this with pete williams on lead in the "dateliners" ....going back some time ago!

[RhodesLives]

Thats from the movie Sleepwalkers aswell.

[charliegrech]

Is that Alex Lifeson with Hank?

[fijiboy68]

@charliegrech lol! If he a "Canadian" accent....

[STORYTASTIC]

@charliegrech yes it is

[drkev]

Serioulsy, more people need to learn to play with both precision and feel just like this. And he does it with the whammy bar in his hand, which is even more difficult. Incredible playing.

[bluesfashion]

!!that song!!!wich movie was!!_???>>>i cant remember

[Andrewshadowy]

It was featured in a movie called 12 Monkeys staring Bruce Willis

[bluesfashion]

[Cacophonyforce]

The song was also played in the movie La Bamba the moment it was announced on the radio that Ritchie Valens (played by Lou Diamond Philips) had died.

[15eman]

@bluesfashion la bamba

[StaSioffizier]

@bluesfashion You mean the movie ''La Bamba'' from 1987. It's the soundtrack played on Ritchie Valens' funeral.

[tmib92]

@bluesfashion Stephen King's "Sleepwalkers" 1992.

[SouthBoundSaurez]

@bluesfashion it was also in the beatles hard days night when ringos walking along the river. i think.



[joriszsz]

@SouthBoundSaurez no, sound a bit like it, but it's the Beatles song "This Boy" instrumental... which someone said was played by Jimmy Page...

[FuckubJ]

It was in horror movie Sleepwalkers, as a main song.

[culverfan]

@bluesfashion also at the end of LaBamba

[billypopali]

@bluesfashion alos whenever the plane crashes in la bamba

[AlunMurch]

@bluesfashion

Also in a movie called Sleepwalkers, about these sort of vampire people that were afraid of cats. Based on a Stephen King story if I remember correctly....

[shelly10538]

@bluesfashion La Bamba after Valenz's death?

[esclobar]

[MrELVIS2]

Super!!! MrELVIS2:):)

[mikesstudio007]

me too this is ace

[J1K1R1]

Great video. Enjoyed it. I hope to make this my next song on You Tube. Jacob

[charlieboy1999]

Pink Salmon Strat, & HBM one of a kind hero!

[feet2oofast]

Kudos to Hank Marvin for playing a beautiful melodic line so well... but to be honest :D this sounds like something that could be fairly easily improvised by a guitar player that knows their way around a scale or two. The expression he puts into the song makes the difference...

[volume11]

the tone of the rhythm guitar sounds like complete digital crap. bring back the burns!

[enioperceval]

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!! your are completetly right, volume11
