[jazzjanne1]

I like "original" version better!

[rwb010109]

To jfhudak,,,Duane ususually played a Gretsch but also like Guilds..He is best known for the Gretsch however,,RWB

[cadillacman028]

oooooooooooooooooooo....listen to that guitar ...sends chiiills up my spine

[jfhudak]

That ain't a Gretsch. What kind of guitar is that? Washburn? DeArmond?



[urgnomen]

@jfhudak probably DeArmond, he has a signature DeArmond i think :)

[roadkillsrus]

I got chills.

[Badbuckingsmiley]

Let me guess :) Its a Stetson hat he wear :) I got one of my own, but if the hat had the same quality as him, i wouldn't be here on earth but in heaven in a different way when im listen to he's music :)

[TheKernalx]

Not as Good As Johnny Cash's version, but Pretty Damn Close

[MrPinenut57]

@TheKernalx Johnny Cash could only play 3 chords and couldn't even hold Duane Eddy's hat.

[TheKernalx]

@MrPinenut57 at LEAST cash sings, Duane get stage fright?

[ktbaker30]

the gal that intro him is lorry ann crook

[onemikehart]

@ktbaker30

That woman... is Kati Hass from TNN (The Nashville Network) that is off the air. The show was Nashville Now.

[adamKlD]

damn this gave me chills up my spine! awesome rendition

[bangelo99x]

lrianne crook

[davnkatz]

Who is the lady introducing Duane Eddy. Her face is so familiar, but I can't remember is she is a singer, actress, or what.

Really do like this version. Our cowboy church band is getting ready to do this song Halloween.

[roaringwaterbay]

what show is this?

[tekonivel1]

10+

[fastertlr]

who's the host introducing Duanne?

[roaringwaterbay]

@fastertlr good question, no one has posted an answer.

[Badbuckingsmiley]

When Duanne Eddy play this song, it gets holy as soon he grabs the guitar and tune :)

I love hes version on the song and hes style in general :)

[mandymoorefanatic]

WHAT IS HIS GUITAR, I GOTTA KNOW? THANX.

[lakemaniac]

@mandymoorefanatic it looks like his old guild x-160. 

[twang73]

@lakemaniac Duane is using his Guild Duane Eddy DE-500. This was the very first signature guitar for a Rock and Roll guitar player.

[lakemaniac]

@twang73 i stand corrected.Thanks for the info.

[onemikehart]

@mandymoorefanatic

The Guitar is a Guild DE500. The very first Signature Guitar in Rock and Roll History. Duane, now plays his new Gretch 6120 Duane Eddy Signature Guitar with a Tru-Ark bridge made by Tim Harmon. You can see him play it on YouTube video "Curve Ball" a song from his new CD called "Road trip" and available on amazon.com

The show is called Nashville Now from the old TNN network thatis no longer on the air.

[LeGridStudios]

i'm say yeah man. this rocks

[christopheraguila76]

iam for the VENTURE"S ORIGINAL VERSION

[Lloydhl]

@christopheraguila76

The Ramrods had the original instrumental in 1961, the Ventures covered it!

[TheGulfray]

This version keeps cutting out??

Fabulous arrangement too bad we can't fully enjoy.

[sk8r1446]

duane eddy is the man

[kaiserwilhelm]

The clapping helps you play better. it's encouragement.

[Ghislaine483]

Quel merveilleux morceau de guitare de Duane Eddy qui est toujours de mode.

Merci et Bravo de nous le faire partager.

Ghislaine

[radiorelax259]

superb guitarist! love his music

[TimothyFC6809]

Yeah. I could have done without the clapping too. Obviously a brillant guitarist.

[Bristolbluedoc]

Looks like the same saxman I saw play in the Eddy band back in the 1960s when he visited Durban in South Africa.

[Tonithenightowl]

Never mind I was thinking of Pipeline. I was wrong.

[Tonithenightowl]

Can't beat Eddy's purity however Stevie Ray's and Dick Dales version blows this away. So does Spiderbait minus the lead singer.

[doesthewaltz]

always the simple things are the best

[poshi12]

he looks like Gorge Carlin

[skaha77]

Here he is at age 58. Still with the magic fingers

[zthetha]

What guitar is Duane playing... thought it was an L5 at first but it's smaller and thinner... he gets a very distinctive tone out of his instruments whatever they are.

[Steeve9292]

@zthetha

It's a Guild DE-500, his signature model.

[zthetha]

@Steeve9292 Thanks for info.... didn't a Gibson luthier eventually make him a guitar? I seem to recall he did and Duane spoke very highly of it. But then who wouldn't!

[Steeve9292]

@zthetha

Absolutely, in my opinion his Gibson signature is the classiest looking guitar he's had, a real beauty, bet it plays like butter. And Gretsch has just released a new version of his signature 6120 this Spring too. The guy has great taste in guitars.

[brucedgale]

Duane Edyys is one of the GREATEST guitarists that has ever lived. He has been my favorite for almost 50 years. May God bless him always .

[SvddenDeth]

@brucedgale he was born in corning ny thats were i live now

[BungalowBill7076]

If you like southern rock 'n roll, try listening to The Outlaws version. Not as good as the original (nothing ever is) but it kicks ass!

[TheCraftyfisherman]

You are magic Mr Eddy....thankyou from the feral fishermen at American River Kangaroo Island South Australia.

[jplent]

Huge tone...

[Sawmillman68]

One of best versions ever!

[makjac46]

great,despite the clapping.................yippe­e iii aayyy

[banff43]

I love this version. Have the CD and it's great. I agree, the clapping is very annoying. No clapping on CD thank goodness.

[MrPinenut57]

@banff43 Ya it's annoying watching people have a good time and enjoy the music.

[banff43]

@MrPinenut57 Just saying the CD is so much better. I love that CD.

[banff43]

I love this version. Have the CD and it's great.

[whiskysage]

That is some sick, sick tone.

[michael58377]

this is brilliant good old days

[1971kearron]

turned me onto pickin up and playing...

[FavouriteSunrise]

God, this man is talented. Awesome sound. I love this guy.

[onemooners]

20 dont like3 the clapping

[Tonithenightowl]

He made a guitar talk.

[ito2789]

true american western classic right here!

[1971kearron]

the true music of america....

[stevebul]

Not being a guitar player how did Duane get that trademark twangy sound, he sounds different than most everyone else.

[bigiron383]

Could do without the claping

[Softrockman]

@bigiron383, yes but they're Americans so what do you expect ...

[JoyDivision1976]

To be present at this live.....would be special indeed.....brilliant !!

[rocktenniscat]

Happy Birthday, Duane Eddy! (Born April 26th, 1938)

[Weissmenchland]

Duane Eddy-my guitar hero!

[rob360hk]

one of the few people who can play live that well is without a dought Duane Eddy

[Lloydhl]

Lots of others have tried, but Duane "owns" this song!

[dhaeze]

how does he make his guitar sound like that (except the fact that he is a genius)? bit reverb and tremolo? and i guess the choice of amplifier is also important for the sound. any opinions or facts about this?

[hammer59700]

@dhaeze Gretsch/Guild or other full hollow body with DeArmond pickups, compensated bridge (brass nut too), play with the neck pickups. An amplifier with much treble, less bass, much reverb (Vox AC30 or Fender Blackface), maybe a compressor and Duane' fingers ;-)

[CommBreakDown]

@dhaeze its the hollowbody guitar. reverb, delay, temolo probably not tremolo but vibrato from the amp. its all in the mind .

[Spenfinity]

Great now I want to buy a Gretsch. I love his tone!

[vidyadhar66]

My first record was Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy, it must of been the 50s

[TheSunmanho]

who is the presenter woman?

[13Dementia]

the man that i got my name from

[mikethekhotmailcom]

The tone on that guitar is perfect. Starts @0:26

[angelitahoward]

He also used our products Howard Amps An Guitar. I ues to walk around with Duane win i was a kid.

[TheMarchpane]

Years ago I think Duane had an album out called "Twangy Guitar Silky Strings". I think it was the first time anyone had put guitar in the lead with an orchestra backing......If it is still around get it. it is FAB!!

[Tubbyduff]

@Timyyy17 Use your ears!!

[laurag333]

surf/spy guitar according to Musician's institute.

[mtom1000]

@Timyyy17 Yeah, what?  all 3 of them?

[rkhgtrpkr]

Amazing.

[HUNDezsoLaszlo]

where have all the young songs gone ...

[cochinealake]

Fabolous!

[duanemurray290862]

I was named after this man ..lol..

[MrDrewthescot]

Who is the lady in this video?

[jusportel]

@MrDrewthescot Katie Haas

[zamton]

Ah I wish it was music like this nowadays.. Damn it!

[sr71ablackbird]

@zamton I believe that you do, along with billions of others as well. Do you think that we might actually be that lucky and hope that the music does a complete 180 from what it is today ? (nothing more than computers and hardly a lick of talent)

[zamton]

@sr71ablackbird We can hope so, I do, but I don't think it will because of the music industri that is right now..

[kevinpnp]

AWESOME...

[Adamos1321]

Jest zajebisty....

[xjwilsonx44]

a*

[wanderer711]

ask alot of the modern guitarists who one of their idols was..

[willeveloce1]

Perfect, those were thw days of good music.

[mjkwyo]

baddazz!!~

[normknott]

knock off the clapping already! The audience ain't the act.

[SueOnTour]

@normknott

right! I agee!

[Cdfael]

@normknott I hate hand clapping. I came to listen to the band. Half the time the clappers are off the beat.

[billysteeler]

@Cdfael true dat, it's much worse when the performer turns the mic around to the audience and they sing the song ( IE: Rod Stewart - Maggie May )

[hendrix0is0lord]

@Cdfael Go listen to the album version then....

[123RIOBRAVO]

@normknott Have a listen to the Ramrods version

[SuperNikki1]

@normknott you never been to a concert where you didn't clap along with song, If I was a artist I would be honoured if people clap to a song that I recorded.

[19torento]

@normknott I'm sure they just want to show their appreciation for one of the greatest classic guitarists of all time.

[gareof]

Rock & Roll hall of fame - - - and he plays "ghost riders" ?

[MsSmilyClown]

@gareof I dont understand your comment. He dont get the Rock & Roll fame for playing this song, but for hes talent. Whats the deal? Im not negative or want to be offensive, but im just asking straightly :)

[gareof]

@MsSmilyClown It's just my opinion, but of his R&R songs (Rebel Rouser, Peter Gunn, Detour) - it just seemed strange (to me) that when he is introduced as a R&R hall of famer, he would pick a song that isn't really R&R - but then, maybe he didn't pick the song -

[MsSmilyClown]

@gareof Yea its true. But i think the reason is because that he would try play one song, that is not R&R, though hes respecting it :) He is widely known as R&R star, and he want to surprice people with something diffrent :) And if you play different sort of genres, you are able to show that you are serious about the music you play and can play more than only one genre. If you master more than one genre, you are a talented person, because every genre requires something different.

[MsSmilyClown]

@MsSmilyClown And hes not telling the host what to say and not to say. I think shes mention hes in the R&R fame because some people dont know who he is, and have no idea what he have been archived :) I had no idea who he was, but i became interessted in hes music, because i know he have done something ordinary. I just think its great hes playing the song, because its the best version of it, i've ever heard, and he is very talented :) Sorry for misspelling some words by the way :)

[streetwhereulive]

@gareof This song was written in 1949 and has been sung by people from Johnny Cash to Bing Crosby. When Duane Eddy recorded it in 1968 it was a country sound but became a crossover which climbed to the top of the rock and roll charts. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever, but the people found something new and exciting in Eddy's version, which had been recorded in an echo chamber.

[gareof]

@streetwhereulive "Ghost Riders in the Sky: -A Cowboy Legend" is a country/cowboy style song. written 6/5/48 by Stan Jones.-A number of versions were hits on the pop charts in 1949. The ASCAP database lists the song as "Riders in the Sky", but titled as "Ghost Riders in the Sky", and "A Cowboy Legend"...I heard the "Cowboy Legend" (V.Monroe) in 50's, I don't remember hearing Eddy's version, but I remember the song by "The Highwaymen" Cash,Jennings,Kris,&Willie in 1990's

[streetwhereulive]

@gareof I remember it well. In 1960 the song Apache came out and then in 62' the song Telstar was hot on the charts. The Beatles were rising in popularity during that time and I dislike that music as much as i did country. Now you have to understand that some of us were not Beatles, Stones, or Grateful Dead fans and as a result of that we turned to country music which had changed enough so that most of us could get though it. When Ghost Riders came out we embraced it like a new child.

[JiS01]

Okay, I'm now just discovering Duane but just hearing this piece of music makes me one thing so sure like oceans are blue; HE'S A GENIUS!!

[hildman5]

very good duane eddy

[Tero48]

Back to sixties. I listened to this man and his twangmusic in the sixties and listen nowdays too. One of the best.

[huston74]

song kept freezing up.

[kleinebudde]

Great guitar sound

[vegbloke]

Ruddy American audiences, always start clapping about a minute into the song when they finally recognise it, and this lot just carried on too.

Stop it yanks !

[alienhuman]

@vegbloke And the Brits? Always singing like drunken sailors. Stop it Brits!

[Iverbraidhead]

@vegbloke

ture man, they sit there in short pants and white sport shoes, wtf?!

[IanHunedoara8]

I remember him featured as prom night entertainer on film "Because They're Young"

[bitemegs8]

Although, Duane Eddy played the Gretsch, the guitar he's playing is a Guild. Check out the head stock.

[katvanbus]

Way cool guitar! Reminds me of my childhood....and the sax seals the deal for me!

[gamecubeclock]

Whenever I hear this, Clint Eastwood's squinting eyes are the first thing I think of. That guitar just does it.

[ALDREWRO]

HAUNTING SENDS CHILLS DOWN THE SPINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IrishAmerican1234]

I liked johnny cashes version of this song better, but hes still an amazing musician.

[peterbuilt309]

long live Duane the best ever

[somee44]

a GREAT GUITAR PLAYER. SOUNDS SO HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO HIM SINCE THE SIXTIES ALONGWITH 'THE SHADOWS' AND MARK KNOPFLER

[AsSeenOnTV0893]

This is what talent and hard work sound like.

[JeszeeLaw]

Bad Ass!

[VoodooChildLesPaul]

I've never before really listened to southern music, but now I'm sure I'll have to listen to that too! I've listened to 95% of rock genres, but not southern, and NOW I must listen to some! Duane Eddy is a fucking legend!

[motorpsycho]

Por dios que se meta el puto teclado en el culo

[ufopsi]

VERY cool!

[GantonioG]

What's the name of the guitar that he's playing?

[GantonioG]

@onemikehart

Thank you for the information, it is quite helpful for me.

[Trigun914]

@GantonioG look like a gibson modle maybe a les paul

[iveco321]

@Trigun914 it's a gretsch signature guitar - look up gretsch white falcon , its an amazin lookin white guitar

[26fadedsun]

Another virtuoso performance by the best guitar picker EVER.

[villi770]

[villi770]

What a niiiiiiis jobb. Thank you Eddy

[universalradio]

Love it!! Forgot all about Duane Eddy.

[ehehengkauni]

[MsSmilyClown]

[SiegfriedBLN]

wow !!!!!!!!

lg siegfried3011

[densely]

They shouldn't be clapping. They should be clip-clopping like those riders' horses.

[yumyumsashimi]

I hate when the fucking audiance starts clapping bunch of idiots.

[vritomos]

the BEST version i've heard so far

[jstcorp]

ONLY ONE WORD - SUPER CLASS TWANG. I ALWAYS LOVED HIS TWANG

[furs4u]

Best Instrumental version, I have heard to date! THX!

[ensemble819]

all out fantastic music... Dick Dale also has some nice tunes if you life Duane Eddy, check him out

[gva0917]

Duane Eddy goes way back to the late 50s - early 60s; I loved his earlier music. Some things just get better with time. Thank you.

[mtom1000]

@gva0917 Early 50's youngster!

[Remington1875]

Probably the most overlooked cover of this song yet.

[chkjns]

@Remington1875 - yes, a jaw-dropping WoW from me as well! Added this to my new Duane Edddy playlist. Come check out my 500 playlists for 300 artists and every year since 1900 - listen like you've tracelled back in time ! ! ! It's a pantheon of the pioneers of the best music of this past century.

[kobishop]

wow

[mellowroast]

Wow, you can't beat Eddy's version of this song. Sensational!

[northzona]

...so cool to see artist's like Duane Eddy after so many years. He's matured since his young skinny days for sure, but, caught a glimpse of that boyish smile. Keep rockin'. Yes, the sax player is most excellent!

[Remington1875]

Too bad Guild doesn't make electric guitars anymore.

[Mr1962KDSelvis]

@onemikehart My God what a loss !!

[moominpic]

This is fantastic. Beats the shadows version hands down.

[drixdresspress]

Absoluter Top Hit ,Sehr gut gespielt ,Danke

[guitgeo]

Big body Guild...can't beat it!

[tickyreal]

HEEE HAW....
