Hi,in your comments i see a few people asking for tabs of your great version for deerhunter. Do you sell them and if so can i buy them thanks and all the best.slowfingers100 (LEN)

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@slowfingers100

Hi Len, i'm afraid I can't sell any tabs / give away tabs due to copyright reasons.

Thanks

Mike

hi mike great lesson well played, look forward to more shadqws tunes I would like to get your tabs so as to play along with your video thanks for your time jeta477

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@jeta770 Cheers! I will probably do another Shadows lesson or two in the future...

[engine132able]

when i said easy imeant easy conpared too brue,s piece yep it is atough piece hank played too a layman by the way great tutorial well done .

[engine132able]

hank got all the glory with his easy piece ,but what about bruce try playing his piece .

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@engine132able Yeah, bruce is a very underated guitarist sadly.

Easy piece.... It is & it isn't... I's one of those pieces that seems very easy on paper... makes a good study piece for a beginner in lead guitar. However it's it's simplicity that makes it more difficult than first imagined.

You need the lightest of touches on the whammy bar, perfectly in tune bends and a delicate touch on the volume pedal. Get any of that wrong and it will stand out a mile. No room for duff notes!

[Ballonrosso]

Hey Mike,

Thx for your reaction, in the last part of your video you play a little bit of the "FAST "stuff.

I think you like Paul Gilbert also ( seen him 2 weeks ago live on stage in Zoetermeer The Netherlands).

If you like him, this would be a great amp for you.

Ibanez Paul Gilbert AF2 Airplane Flanger.

good luck!

P.s.

can you play more songs of the Shadows?

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@Ballonrosso I can play a couple of other shadows songs. I'll maybe do lessons on them in the future.

[Ballonrosso]

Great lesson Mike!! i've just bought a dutch brand guitar the London City Spitfire MK 2

Its a clone of the fender strat but mutch cheaper and it almost plays and sounds like the fender.

i'm now trying to play this song for the shadows sound i use a Zoom 505 multi effect. the shadows patch dit i found on the net.

Thanks again for this graet video!

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@Ballonrosso The zoom units are nice little units. I might get one for when I need access to some sounds. I had a Boss GT-10 which I used for this which was great. Sadly, it's been sold to fund a new amp.

Good luck with the tune!

[trigmachine]

well played but i never liked the shadows version of this peice

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@trigmachine If I had to choose then i'd probably go for the classical version, but I have to say, I do like them both a lot. I think Hank keeps the feel. I've not heard any 'shred' versions... Not fast as that just wouldn't be workable... But someone who's piled on the distortion. I'm sure there'll be one on Y'tube. Jeff Beck would do a cracking version too, I expect.

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@MikeGarveyBlues I should clarify that I really don't want to hear any 'shred' versions, lol!

[MikeGarveyBlues]

No problems guys.  Glad you liked it!

[andyj66]

Excellent! Thank You for helping me get started on this track :)

[redfenderguy]

well done mate on a brilliant tutorial and i couldnt agree more about the use of the tremolo arm so many hank fans go over board using it like you said

cheers for this mate i tried to do a tutorial but im crap at it. i play cavatina just like you showed and  i just need the volume pedal now

if im ok to say though your top E string sounded a bit out of tune.

anyway once again well done

Richie

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@redfenderguy Many thanks for commenting Richie!

You could be right about the top E string. The Yamahas trem system isn't the best and goes out of tune fairly quickly even with just Hank style use. My Fender Strat works well but i've blocked that off as I never use the trem normally except for Shadows stuff.

[redfenderguy]

@MikeGarveyBlues ok mate nice work

please  check out some of my videos

[stillrockin66]

That was spot on. Well played and a perfect lesson. Should be more like you on here when they do lessons. Well done Mate.

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@stillrockin66 Cheers guys!

[theretromantics]

Great

[patmansims]

hi is there any chance of getting the tab for this? its an excellent version but its slightly too hard to follow. thanks, Pat

[patmansims]

Hi this is an excellent version of the song, is there any chance of getting the tab because its slightly to difficult to see the notes correctly, thanks in advance, Pat

[Flamingboy100]

Superb!

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@Flamingboy100 Many thanks for commenting!

[Flamingboy100]

It's such a lovely tune that makes you well up, it does to me anyway. I always think about the film The Deer Hunter along with flashes of the scenes.

Nice one mate :-)

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@Flamingboy100 Cheers bud!

I agree. Doesn't matter if it's The Shadows version, John Williams' Deer Hunter Version or the Original Stanley Myers Version. Always makes you think.

[jase67electric]

Beautifull sound.

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@jase67electric Cheers Jase!

[sammeh2ffy]

i have just purchased a boss gt10.

Is there any chance you could give me sound settings for this tune.

Best regards,

Derek.

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@fiestared1963 Hi Derek, thanks for commenting! been glued to the World Cup... Will dig out the GT-10 tommorrow (Friday) and post the settings. Send me a message if I forget.

Mike

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@fiestared1963 Hey bus, sent you a PM regarding settings.

Too much to detail here.

[MikeGarveyBlues]

@MikeGarveyBlues That should have been 'Hey bud' rather than 'Hey Bus', lol!

How are you getting on with the tune?

[TaipoRoad]

I like this. Thanks.

[rufusvanrugburn]
