[angrypecker]

OH MY!!!

[SuperBenkoo]

Hank is a terriffic guitarist, but someone should be with him when he buys new glasses.

[bullshitdetective1]

if bruce has the first one, why do they show the strats with rosewoood necks????+

[MrACDC1997]

it wasn't the first one indeed!

[ohrofax]

danke, merci, thanks,  for this video its a big look backwards into old times

[direclapton]

just one word for this video !!! WOW !!

and also can i get links to the continuation of this video ?

[acousticguitarfan]

Great post!

[Bryan8329]

The story goes Gilmour bought his first Strat once he was hired by Pink Floyd.

[guitarreilly]

please upload the whole documentarie all three episodes please please please

[MusicMeUpBaby]

The Stratocaster demonstrates what humans are meant to find attractive. Smooth curves, a slender neck and makes beautiful sounds.

[vierdiez]

I´d like to give myself a Strat this Christmas... I don´t deserve it though...

[ruffian1868]

Hank and Bruce must have had a few more Strats, as the ones in the clips have rosewood boards, whereas the guitar that Bruce shows has a maple board.

[DrZiplock]

"If you didn't see...ever see Jimi Hendrix perform, y'know, you've just missed it. Sorry, you've missed it. Y'know, I missed Charlie Parker so fuck off, y'know, there's nothing you can do about it".

Love it.

[nish147]

Just before the start of the Fender Strat Part...they have shown Dick Dale playing at a show...i wanna know that song....i have been searching for it for a long time...

[pilotoatomico]

he better loosen off the strings on the first fender strat!!! u dont want to bend the neck after all the tension for the last 50 years xD

[KmetoSVK]

What is name of that Hendrix song after Townshend in this video?

[naft1992joshi]

@KmetoSVK wild thing

[linkisbest]

I'm very happy to ehar that #001 is David Gilmour's and that he's playing it rather than it being in some banker's vault.

[markobenzon]

Whick song is played in the last seconds of this video, some instrumental, but i forgot the title

[SuperLennert]

@markobenzon Link Wray - Rumble ;)

[brianmckenna1111]

@markobenzon That is Rumble by Link Wray.

[pyscobrand]

All guitars are unique in even the smallest of ways.

[fluff191]

LOVED THIS!!!!

[saintidiot]

Jimi was the fucking coolest

[KsiazeIgor]

I like the way Pete describes not seeing Charlie Parker's gig.

[lalbruiz]

I didn´t get it. Cliff Richards purchased the guitar for Hank to play it, so it wasn´t his? Why Bruce Welch has it? It was lent to him but he never gave it back? Damn.

[lalbruiz]

Great documentary, gotta love Hank Marvin and The Shadows, even with that cheesy "DA DUM DA DUM DA DUM" coreography, LOL.

[hungerstriker27]

I want the classic vibe squier strat just because it´s like gilmour´s strat.

[whawahwah]

I love the part when you see Hendrix throw away the guitar! :P

[MegaSmud]

Fender made guitars, Hendrix destroyed them :-)

[footer317]

whats the song that starts to be played at the very end of the video. thanks

[emmaspd]

@footer317 Rumble by Link Wray. Hope it helps.

[footer317]

@emmaspd thanks this has been a song ive been trying to look up for the longest time

[Laddo32]

01:44  What is the name of the tune Hank Marvin plays?

[Writerofthebizzarre]

Is the song Dave Gilmour playing at 00:28 Shine on You?

[diazconias]

OH YEEES!, all you puritans are going to hate me; but I don´t think Hendrix was the BEAST guitar player on the rock history; It was one of the greatest; but not THE ONE. I´m just saying

[ToiletPaperrr]

OMFG! 1 DISLIKE? Lets smash his head with a guitar together!

[MiniExplorerSG]

@ToiletPaperrr YEAH

[Johngtr13]

What's the name of the song David Gilmour first playes? I like it and I would like to look it up on YouTube.

[chrishampton1981]

@Johngtr13 Hello!

The piece he plays is from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" which opens the Wish You Were Here album

Kind regards

Chris

[cliffworks4321]

priceless man thanks for the posting!

[danskatermurphy]

thumbs up for jimis sexy lick!

[whatistheretotype]

is ther any place I can watch the whole thing?

[TheReilly8]

they had the whole documentary on youtube at one time and then it was taken away from me

[MyHauntedExcursions]

David Gilmour is incredibly handsome/sexy.

[xacti216]

fender and gibson has no rivalry their guitars has always been neck to neck with each other ,i own both of them ,i swear, each has its own function for a particular style and sound period. both of this guitars are a legend and an icon that will stay forever. amen.

[bowslap]

@xacti216 I, too, own a stellar example of either of these instruments(as well as a thinline Tele)......they each have their own intrinsic qualities. Some sounds you need a Les Paul for, and some sounds are only gonna come from a Stratocaster(or Tele, or Ricky.....list goes on). The world of modern music is much richer for visionaries such as Leo Fender and Les Paul.

[Guy9998]

@xacti216 You're absolutely right. When you're dealing with guitars in that league they're all good in their own respect. Different guitars inspire different ideas as well.

[moleman1961]

@xacti216 hear hear, Sir!

[MultiCheshire]

Pete Towshend? Can't see why he is comparing himself with the greats. I don't think he will ever make it on to the Guitar Register.

[muttilo]

@MultiCheshire Love the Townshend !

[muttilo]

@MultiCheshire Those are his peers , they talk about him too , much to your dismay lol!

[MultiCheshire]

Hank Marvin. Probably the greatest living guitarist.

[Sjjags]

Where is the Hendrix footage at the end originally from? I've never seen that before and I'd love to see the whole show.

[PopExpo]

all you fuckers who doubt the stratocaster watch this video and shut yer trap.

[shatinterry]

Again a rare and precious video, thanks for upload

[0kill13]

where did you get this vid?

[Andrewshadowy]

This was a documentary shown on the BBC late last year and was in 3 parts. Part 2 was the best as featured The Shadows & The Fender stratocaster

[stratocasterfranck]

@Andrewshadowy thank you very much sir

[TheReilly8]

@Andrewshadowy please try to upload the whole documentary id be so greatful

[WItekpel]

@Andrewshadowy What is the name of this documentary? I'd love to see the whole thing.

[Thurzotron]

@WItekpel Imagine the story of the guitar, it's a 3 parter from BBC. Very good documentary

[dave21031963]

If you have a search around on demonoid, you can download the whole 3 part series, it's called, Imagine - the story of the guitar.

[order57]

@0kill13 Look for Stratmasters by Headstock Productions UK

[sanchezgtrs]

Amazing Guitar. Only a Fender Stratocaster Can do those kinds of sounds.

[mrhodes8043]

that first guitar sounds like heaven

[yuriharrison]
