@grindelwaldprods : I have a question, I don't have a creditcard en as far as I know you have to pay with a creditcard when you order van Amazon. Is there no other way I can buy this DVD? And I live in Holland by the way ;-)
man, I love the les paul. The gold top 1957 or the burts of 1959 or 1960. ut at 3:34... the strat it´s a beauty also. for me, the strat is the perfect example of the perfect design of simplicity, and the les paul in the otherhand, it´s elegant.... majestic.
If you could own one famous strat which one would you choose? I think I will go for the black strat of david gilmour. He is not only the owner of the black strat but also he ownes the serial No. 0001 strat.
Well, I belong to the so called generation x so I begin playing a jagmaster, for cobain of course, then a tele, les pauls (Which I love, specially the gold top 56 with p90´s, it´s amazing, I love it to death) but at the end, my fav is the gold top.... and the strat. The all mighty strat. God bless leo for giving us the strat
We know - nothing like your new place! But what a great day we had filming with you all! How many Strats have you sold since then?! Best to Laurie and the gang at Nevada Music......D&D at Grindelwald
i love my squier strat, even though it was made in indonesia. I recently got a book called the fender stratocaster handbook, and i was (almost) amazed at the history behind the guitar. i didn't know its origins, but i knew most of the players that the book gave background info on; Hendrix, Clapton (three of his guitars, actually) Beck, Buddy Holly, and a few others.
First, let me say that I agree with you about Dick Dale's acheivements. He was without a doubt a pioneer of the electric guitar sound - and I love a lot of his stuff.
On his personality, I of course do not know him (and I imagine yoy don't either), but from the many interviews I have seen featuring him, he very often comes across as someone who is quick to sing his own praises. Being proud is one thing, being boastfull is another. There is a clear distinction.
@maltavmalta but I do know him he is a close friend of mine and can tell you for a fact that he is a very proud person of himself and his son jimmy but is very appreciative of what he has in the music industry and humbled from his experiences with cancer. like I said what he says is strictly a source of pride and is not spoken with boastfulness in his mind so there is no need to make it look like he has ego problems when you personally don't know what he is like
Leo Fender was very disappointed when he found out people were messing with his famous stratocaster.
People did al kinds of tricks with his selector switch and with the tremolo so why would he be proud of a guitar with his name on it that also has Tom Delonge's name on it and has a pick-up from a different brand of musical instruments and parts?
Leo Fender isn't proud at all, Fender was Fender untill he went bankrupt and sold everything to CBS. I'm glad I have an ORIGINAL strat from '57!!
Hi there, here's a bit of information if you need it!
The guitars in your local shop are likely to be "Tribute" G&L" models. The genuine USA handmade models are still made in Fullerton California and are naturally rather expensive. However in 2003 G&L introduced the Tribute series to the US market as a more affordable alternative to USA built products. G&L has this facility in Indonesia, apparently using USA pickups
regards - David & Debra Rixon, producers of the Stratocaster Legend DVD
@ElmoLewiss Did that look like indonesia california to you? LOL... They have over seas models. Go to a bigger shop and you will see the USA models. I own a few and no "Fenders" A standard G&L that sell for around $999.99 will blows the doora off a Fender around $1999.99. Everone that plays my G&L Legacy says it blows there Fender "Deluxe, Standard, Custom, ect " away
I saw Dick Dale a few times in the early 80's when he was making his 'comeback'--the most memorable was at the Golden Bear in Huntignton Beach Calif..what a jamming show..went with a friend who later on went on to playing surf guitar in a local band, The Eliminators..Dick is right, his playing is so intense that even the audience feels like they've been in a fight..it's great!
I got this DVD today from Amazon and it was a very enjoyable documentary about my favourite electric guitar. Was brilliant to see the evolution of Fender and how much respect is shown for the Stratocaster after so many years.
Really well done guys. Must have been brilliant to meet Hank Marvin too
Well thanks Chris... it was really special to meet both Hank and Dick in the making of this film and let them talk about their past and the strats which brought them fame without interruption. It was our pilgrimage to Orange County and is unforgettable!
David and Debra Rixon, producers or the Stratocaster Legend.
Dick Dale/Surf Guitar. The Americanist of American rock. You hear that guitar sound and instantly you're transported to a time and place. It's an attitude as much as it's music.
*sigh* its not that hard, just check out dick dales wiki, and you'll know why he is a legend. he may not be the most technical player, and I have no clue about his intelect, but that is not really relevant, is it?
@Tubbyduff : "he's not a particularly good player" - total IGNORANCE. You're lucky I even give a shit to set you straight.DD's tone & sound was unique @the time b/c amps did not distort unless the volume was maxed out and caused the amp to be overdriven. As far as his playing goes, he's an awesome player (cont.)
Wait so does that mean they still make American Fenders in the original warehouse that Leo Fender used to work at himself? If anybody can answer that I'd appreciate it.
Hank is awesome Dick is awesome....and maybe if you had the life of Dick Dale...his lack of money..his cancer..and hes still touring...well give the guy some slack..Hank led the clean Christain life...Dick is....Dick
Dick Dale and Hank Marvin, same guitar but very different people. Every interview Iv'e ever seen of dick, he's telling us what a Legend he is.... Hank Marvin on the other hand seems to be one of the most modest people you could ever hope to meet despite being the inspiration and hero of people like Mark Knoppfler, Eric Clapton, Dave Gilmour and the list goes on...
@maltavmalta : hey, I NEVER said Dale was absent of an ego - Ive met the guy, he is definitely full of himself, but he does have relevance in terms of RnR history
@maltavmalta dude trying actually knowing someone and talking to them before judging them. Dick was the driving force behind leo revolutionizing speakers and amps alllowing hank marvin, clapton and even the beatles to play like they did. does saying his guitar is set up so bad stevie vie would see it and throw up sound like someone with a ego to you? no there is a difference between being proud of what you have done and having a ego problem so show some respect
Thanks to leo fender georges fullerton A Ybarra tadeo gomez bill carson F tavares and all the people from the first crew at the fender factory in the 50 and 60's..Oggy french vintage strat lover and owner
the song at the beginning is "apache" by the shadows.. the guy with the glasses and the red strat is the one who played it originally. check the vid by the same name.. hope this helps :)
@FloroSapien Apparently it's a 1982 Robin Octave Doubleneck. And yes,the Robin website states they look like "smaller explorer type" headstocks. (Reminded me of Hamer too.). It went for US $45.000-something.
Dicks great tune is called "The Eliminator" from his Spacial Disorientation Album. He is still using the same gear on the road that he always did...amps guitar speakers are still the same ones!
yeah i know - his strings are upside down though - jimi hendrix tapped out the nut and reglued it upside down to be able to put the strings the right way - why couldn't dick dale do that -thats what i was sayin
TO ALL DETRACTORS!: FYI Dick Dale was the 1st to "play LOUD" -i.e he set the stage for Hendrix,SRV etc... Dick Dale was the first to use feedback, to OVERDRIVE (to the point of distortion) the AMP etc... THATS (!!!) why Dick Dale is a guitar ICON !! Learn yer history before you knock his relevance !!!
It's true... Dick was the father of loud and in the late 50's/early 60's went to see Leo Fender at the Fender factory, also to the JBL speaker factory to encourage them to make much more powerful sound systems. This he achieved and Dick could fill the dance halls with that thick valve (tube) distortion we love. IT'S ALL IN THE DVD FOLKS!
@hazor777 There's a great story from Lemmy about Dick Dale. Motorhead and Dick Dale were on the same bill in a festival in Germany and Dick Dale was doing his sound check and even Lemmy couldn't get over how loud Dick Dale was.
@eatsandsleeps I can totally see that happening......Ive seen Dick a few times in small clubs, and he shows no "mercy" ,Lol! Still as badass today as he always has been. Matter of fact, he blew the power board at one show in an old basement club in Atlanta a few yrs. back, had to stop the show & re-route the power,lol!
@brandoniog : I wouldn't be surprised, but Im 99% sure that the first 2 to overdrive the amp etc... were Wray & Dale- that can't be disputed.Kudos to you for recognizing Wray - I had the privledge of seeing him live back in 1997, may he rest in peace
jimi hendrix became who he was because of dick he used to play backup for little richard in a south pasadena bar and met dick and went to see his shows in balboa and spent hours talking to him and trying to learn from him SRV was another one of many who looked up to Dick Dale as one of his guitar heros
Dick Dale for one he is a close friend of mine but what happened was he met dick and went to his shows in balboa and would talk to him for hours after his shows and tried to learn from one of the things dick taught him was the double pick. Dick had rectal cancer in the 60's around the time hendrix was producing his are you experienced album with the song 3rd stone from the sun on it. back then dick was told he had 3 months to live and the words you will never hear surf music again in
continued: were there because that was a tribute to dick and fortunately dick ended up surviving and re dedicated the song to jimi with his own version of 3rd stone from the sun on his calling up spirits album in 1996
Hi easyTaff... A DVD was being made of the Shadows last tour by a different video company and we were not able to record a performance. Strat was miked close to the neck to get the best acoustic sound we could... but we were lucky to get Hank at all! Talk about exclusive. The DVD of course is even better - 77minutes and 2 bonus chapters on top!
hank marvin is possibly the greatest of all the guitarists, much copied and imitated . dave gimour was well after hank . . hank had the first strat in england and played the thing with such a pure and vocal sound no one else got close to. he imitated a singing voice with vibrato . absolute genius
Why it is "Apache" of 1961 vintage... very big hit at the time, had me and loads of other kids in the UK miming to the record player with a tennis raquet... a poor substitute for a strat!
Dick Dale IS the difference between arrogant & confident.... He'd come across as the former if the latter were not true.

yeah i know - his strings are upside down though - jimi hendrix tapped out the nut and reglued it upside down to be able to put the strings the right way - why couldn't dick dale do that -thats what i was sayin
MountainDew231767 2 years ago
TO ALL DETRACTORS!: FYI Dick Dale was the 1st to "play LOUD" -i.e he set the stage for Hendrix,SRV etc... Dick Dale was the first to use feedback, to OVERDRIVE (to the point of distortion) the AMP etc... THATS (!!!) why Dick Dale is a guitar ICON !! Learn yer history before you knock his relevance !!!

It's true... Dick was the father of loud and in the late 50's/early 60's went to see Leo Fender at the Fender factory, also to the JBL speaker factory to encourage them to make much more powerful sound systems. This he achieved and Dick could fill the dance halls with that thick valve (tube) distortion we love. IT'S ALL IN THE DVD FOLKS!

@hazor777 There's a great story from Lemmy about Dick Dale. Motorhead and Dick Dale were on the same bill in a festival in Germany and Dick Dale was doing his sound check and even Lemmy couldn't get over how loud Dick Dale was.

@eatsandsleeps I can totally see that happening......Ive seen Dick a few times in small clubs, and he shows no "mercy" ,Lol! Still as badass today as he always has been. Matter of fact, he blew the power board at one show in an old basement club in Atlanta a few yrs. back, had to stop the show & re-route the power,lol!

Actually Link Wray was the first to play Loud,and Distorted,but your heart is the right place. Link Wray the true king of Rock & Roll ....

@brandoniog : I wouldn't be surprised, but Im 99% sure that the first 2 to overdrive the amp etc... were Wray & Dale- that can't be disputed.Kudos to you for recognizing Wray - I had the privledge of seeing him live back in 1997, may he rest in peace

jimi hendrix became who he was because of dick he used to play backup for little richard in a south pasadena bar and met dick and went to see his shows in balboa and spent hours talking to him and trying to learn from him SRV was another one of many who looked up to Dick Dale as one of his guitar heros

From which reliable source did you get that, may I ask?
Hestjaevel111 2 years ago
Dick Dale for one he is a close friend of mine but what happened was he met dick and went to his shows in balboa and would talk to him for hours after his shows and tried to learn from one of the things dick taught him was the double pick. Dick had rectal cancer in the 60's around the time hendrix was producing his are you experienced album with the song 3rd stone from the sun on it. back then dick was told he had 3 months to live and the words you will never hear surf music again in
predatortap 2 years ago
continued: were there because that was a tribute to dick and fortunately dick ended up surviving and re dedicated the song to jimi with his own version of 3rd stone from the sun on his calling up spirits album in 1996

Good stuff but why didn't Hank have the bloody thing plugged in when he was demonstrating the whammy bar?

Hi easyTaff... A DVD was being made of the Shadows last tour by a different video company and we were not able to record a performance. Strat was miked close to the neck to get the best acoustic sound we could... but we were lucky to get Hank at all! Talk about exclusive. The DVD of course is even better - 77minutes and 2 bonus chapters on top!
grindelwaldprods 2 years ago
Thanks for the explanation. I have heard Hank can be a bit "reticent" to appear at times. He is a great guitarist, no doubt.
easyTaff 2 years ago
hank marvin is possibly the greatest of all the guitarists, much copied and imitated . dave gimour was well after hank . . hank had the first strat in england and played the thing with such a pure and vocal sound no one else got close to. he imitated a singing voice with vibrato . absolute genius

Why it is "Apache" of 1961 vintage... very big hit at the time, had me and loads of other kids in the UK miming to the record player with a tennis raquet... a poor substitute for a strat!
